Publisher's summary

Attorney Jack Newlin comes home one evening to find his wife dead on the floor. Convinced that he knows who killed her, and determined to hide the truth, Jack decides to make it look as though he committed the felony. Before calling the police, he stages the crime, so that the evidence incriminates him. And to hammer the final nail in his own coffin, he hires Mary Di Nunzio, a reluctant rookie and the most inexperienced lawyer he can find, at a hot Philadelphia firm. However, hiring Mary is where Jack makes his mistake.

She doubts his confession and starts to investigate the murder. Mary's ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants only one thing, which is to convict himself. But because she is intelligent, strong-minded, and courageous, she decides to stick with the case and see it through to the final verdict. And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

Good story ... terrible narration

Any additional comments?

The story was great but the narration was horrendous. Sounds like she is eating or drinking something the entire time. Almost made me stop listening.

Good story but HORRIBLE performance!!

This was a fine story and, overall, I enjoyed it BUT if you choose to listen to this book (I have listened to other stories read by this same individual and they were fine), throughout the ENTIRE book, she sounded as if she was talking with food in her mouth, having to swallow after every few words!!

The narrator is terrible.

I never write reviews. This is the second book with Barbara Rosenblat narrating. It’s so distracting. You can hear her swallow everytime she talks. It sounds like she is drinking and eating while she is reading. I don’t mean to be mean to her but please don’t let her narrate anymore books.

Good story

overall good story and narrator has a nice voice and rhythm...however, listening to her constant swallowing was both distracting and annoying. There must be a way to remedy that....it's the first narrator I've heard with such an issue.

Great Author Tricky Plot HORRIBLE NARRATOR

I have never written a review before and I’ve been listening to Audible books for over 3 yrs. if it weren’t the fact that I want to read this complete series I would return it and start another but I wanted to hear the story out.

Decent book I like the series. The narrator is ok, but it is extremely distracting to hear her breathing and swallowing.

Great, riveting story, HORRIBLE narrator!

What made the experience of listening to Moment of Truth the most enjoyable?

The fast pace and interesting characters! Good story lines, kept you guessing.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mary, of course!

What didn’t you like about Kate Burton’s performance?

Audibly swallows a lot, sounds like she is sucking her tongue or a cough drop, it was so nauseating listening to it that I had to stop listening when I was eating. She has a pleasant voice and good nuances but the sounds are so loud.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Fast action and surpriste twists!

Good story but lousy narrator

Story was good but it turned my stomach because storyteller sounded like she was slopping food around in her mouth. Tried to tell myself it was static but hard to enjoy the story with that gross noise.

Distracting

The story line was great. I found the constant swallowing and inhaling by the narrator to be distracting. I will pass on any other books narrated by Kate Burton.
