About this listen
On the surface, the court-appointed case that lands on young Dean Abernathy's desk is a biggie; he is slated to defend a homeless man accused of the felony murder of the popular black New York City Police commissioner during an early-morning mugging attempt. But at second look, the case promises to be a routine conviction. The evidence is overwhelming. The police have come up with an eyewitness, they have physical evidence, and Joey Spadafino has given the arresting officers a signed confession.
Dean's course seems obvious: Get Joe Spadafino, an ex-con, to plead guilty, bargain for the most lenient sentence possible, and figure you can't win 'em all.
Before he can talk to his client about a plea bargain, however, he finds that the prosecutor has already offered one - which Joey refuses. Dean, not only a conscientious defense attorney but a former investigator, starts looking harder at the seemingly incontrovertible evidence.
What he turns up changes a foregone conclusion into something very different. The district attorney, although outwardly cooperative, seems to be trying to keep Dean from interviewing the eyewitness - and the reason becomes apparent when Dean, challenged, digs deeper into her background. Anomalies and discrepancies in the government's case crop up.
Dean realizes that he is drawing closer to a particularly nasty truth, one that not only puts his life and those of others in immediate peril but confronts him with a moral dilemma that is even more difficult to face.

Their target has no phone, certainly no email, and never answers his mail. But August Jorgenson is no country bumpkin. Before retiring, he was one of the most famous judges in the country, and only opinions like his fierce opposition to the death penalty kept him from a seat on the Supreme Court.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Engaging Premise If You Like Conundrums
Clever plot, well written. Wish Klemper had not abruptly shifted from showing to telling in an unnecessarily long epilogue. There is a ton of interesting but not plot-advancing detail in the first two-thirds here, that makes this book so long - detail that could easily have been edited out in order to allow a reader-satisfying denouement as the plot continued into revealing the consequences of actions upon the appropriate characters. Instead, all of this was stuffed into one long narration.
Okay, perhaps this was a first novel, but that's what editors are for. But an editor's blue pen could have allowed the author to continue what he does best and show us the consequences of actions through the emotions of the relevant characters. Pity... what was a very good book became less so.
Still, I'll follow Klempner and look for another Dean Abernathy book should Klempner write it. But then again, I love conundrums and this one at the heart of 'Felony Murder' coupled with the grit of Klempner's characters really works.

Good Read
My second Klempner novel. I enjoy his style of writing, it is a good read with some cliffhanger moments that are highly entertaining. The performer was spot on and helped make the story enjoyable.

Well Done
This is an excellent legal mystery. Well written and performed even better. I would have given it a solid 4 stars but there was an excess of gratuitous sex.

It's Good but Not Great
I liked the story to a point but it should have ended far sooner than it did. The narrator was good. I probably will listen to the author's other books.

Good story, great performance!
Peter Berkrot's performance of "Felony Murder" was excellent! His characters, voices and accents were just right and kept things interesting with out being cliche, too heavy, or over-baked. This is the first of Mr. Berkrot's narrations that I've had the pleasure of listening to, and it will not be my last. I'll be seeking out his others.
The story itself was good and compelling enough to keep me coming back. There is a plot hole or two and some devices used by the author were, I felt, over used, but it was still a fun story to enjoy.

I really enjoyed this book!
It is well written, and has an interesting story line. Sure, the rooftop repelling, jumping, and rescuing a slippery, soap covered, femme fatale through a tiny window, may not be possible in real life, but, you never know. It was interesting. Descriptions of what life in a prison can be like, is terrifying in itself.

On and on and on
The storyline was not bad but it just dragged on and on with additional dialogue that could have been changed to make the same point.

For a legal thriller, a pretty wild ride.
If you could sum up Felony Murder in three words, what would they be?
I hate this question. If I said, "The Brady File," it would mean nothing to you, but once you had read the book, you would understand easily. These questions actually don't leave you any place to talk about your opinion of the book, which is truly weird. In any case...this book is the story of an attorney named Dean Abernathy, a client of his named Joey Spadifino, the murder of NYC Police Commissioner Edward Wilson, Dean's girlfriend Janet Killion, and a large cast of NYPD officers and others. The book does not include a long, boring trial section, which is good. It includes adventures that do not typically happen in a book like this. For instance, Dean is a rock climber who, near the end of the book, climbs a seven-story building in Hoboken, NJ, to rescue Janet, who is being kidnapped and held there by a conspiracy of cops. When they rappel down the building, Janet is naked and covered with soap, which is required so that she can escape through a tiny bathroom window. And there are many other thrills from beginning to end. You will enjoy this book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Felony Murder?
The scene I just mentioned, in which Dean climbs up a building, grabs Janet, and they rappel down. This is quite memorable, as is their love making shortly thereafter.
What about Peter Berkrot’s performance did you like?
Peter is very good at a whole number of facets of narrating. He sometimes gets too excited, but I forgive him that. His voice is easy to listen to. His ability to push the plot forward is excellent. He is able to voice several characters distinctly in a believable way.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I just can't do that. I did listen to it in a very short time, as we here in the SF Bay Area have been visited by a heat wave so extraordinary, such obvious proof of global warming, that I have had to stay inside in the air-conditioning for several days now. This book has been excellent company during that time.
Any additional comments?
Have fun. You don't need to love New York City to enjoy the book, although as is often the case, the city is an important character in the narrative.

Murder, Cover Ups and Conspiracies!
What other book might you compare Felony Murder to and why?
Can't say what other books I might compare this one to. Other authors though might be John Grisham or David Baldacci in their earlier years.
Which character – as performed by Peter Berkrot – was your favorite?
Peter Berkrot did a fantastic job narrating. His voice was perfect for this book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes but unless I sped the book up I couldn't and this was so good I just assumed to make it last.
Any additional comments?
This is such a good book. The story is so well developed and the characters are all so colorful. The police commissioner is robbed at knife point by a homeless man and dies from cardiac arrest, the homeless man is then charged with felony murder during the commission of a crime. Or so it seems...
The court appointed lawyer hero Dean Abernathy begins a half hearted investigation and begins turning up some facts that just don't jibe with the official reports. So of course he digs deeper and the can of worms he opens may end up killing him or the witness he is trying to protect. Somebody has already killed another witness and this web keeps growing and getting more complicated, but not unnecessarily so. The plot maintains a coherent storyline and is easily followed through each new discovery.
There is some humor and sarcasm that enhances it that much more.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
