Editorial reviews
Julia Vacanti is an ambitious Miami attorney who, when not battling the everyday sexism found in male dominated courtrooms, is quickly rising within the ranks as a tenacious prosecutor.
Julia agrees to take on the sensational murder case of a respected surgeon accused of murdering his wife and small children. Were these killings the result of a delusional schizophrenic episode as the defense strategy states? Or, were these murders a precise, exacting plan from the warped mind of a cold-blooded killer? In order to know for sure, Julia first must get to know madness itself.
Plea of Insanity is narrated impeccably in creamy, polished tones by Karen White, who was included in Audiofile’s Best Voices 2010 and 2011.

The body lying on a cold steel slab bears all the hallmarks of the Chicago Butcher. There's a cruel slash across her throat, deep enough to sever the carotid artery, and a small crescent carved into her right breast. Her delicate features are painfully familiar to Ash Marcel, once a rising star in the Chicago PD. But though the victim resembles his former fiancee, Remi Walsh, he knows it's not her. Though Remi escaped a serial killer five years ago, her father died trying to save her. Grief and guilt caused her to pull away from the man she loved.

Alex's first call of the day takes her to the same street, to the same house, where a man has been brutally killed. Alex thinks the man is a perfect stranger - until she finds herself the main suspect in his murder.

Story
The first victim is attacked in her home. Tied to her bed. Forced to watch every unspeakable act of cruelty - but unable to scream. The second murder is even more twisted. Signed, sealed, and delivered with a message for the police, stuffed in the victim's throat. A fractured nursery rhyme that ends with a warning: "There will be more". For detective Jack Murphy, it's more than a threat. It's a personal invitation to play.

Immensely enjoyable despite ...
I think Julliane Hoffman may just become my new favourite "legal thriller" author! This was a surprising page-turner (If one can use that term for an audible book) and I found myself adding just another 30 - 45 minutes to my late night listening. I say surprising because for a good part of Julia's story I found myself rolling my eyes or wanting to shake her. Does every attractive young female lawyer have to be so daft as to have an affair with her boss? Would someone be so thoughtless and insensitive to go against her aunt and uncle, who had practically raised her, in order to see a brother who had committed such a personal and vicious crime? Still, it all made for a good plot and I do enjoy novels where I find myself getting overly emotional about a character's actions.
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
The reason this isn't a solid 5*s for me is because of the ending. I just knew what was going to happen last minute in that courtroom when the defendant turned around and looked at Julia. For somone who professed to love what she did (state prosecutorial work), any sane person would have found another way to ease her conscience and remove herself from the case. But that was the whole point, wasn't it? How far had the schizophrenia that ran in her family actually spread - to her?
The other reason I enjoyed this legal thriller was because it prompted me to really think whether I would have acquitted the defendant, or considered him worthy of the death penalty for the way he brutally murdered his wife and three young children. Why the fact that he deliberately left a venue 220 miles away at the dead of night to murder his family , thereby giving himself an alibi, wasn't made more of by the prosecution escapes me...but then, it obviously didn't fit the plot or the author's "message" interwoven throughout. It would seem to me that anyone who truly saw "horns" grow out of his baby's head or other "evidence" of demon possession - or was insane enough to think they did - wouldn't have chosen such an opportune time to commit the crime.
So - plenty of holes in this for me, but I did enjoy the ride and look forward to checking out other novels in this vein from Ms. Hoffman.

Insane or smart as a fox.
You never really know what someone is thinking. Proceed with caution. A thriller that I could not stop listening to.

Too much schizophrenia
Starts fine with mystery and suspense, but then the last half just completely over does the schizophrenia - ad nauseum - over & over & over again. Had to fast forward through portions of the trial as it was a complete repeat - verbatim, in fact I thought I had skipped back by mistake. OMG, enough already! Take away all the repetition and preaching and it would be 2 hours shorter and a 4 star novel.

Wow a Cop on a Harley!
Would you listen to Plea of Insanity again? Why?
Yes, just to check the clues I missed. This was so well done.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Oh boy did it! Right from the start to the end
What about Karen White’s performance did you like?
I purchased this book only because ms white read it. I love the way she can make the characters come to life.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did listen to it in one sitting and oh what an emotional roller coster it was.
Any additional comments?
I do not know if I will buy the author other listing as I do not know the reader. I have been badly burned on the newer crop of readers...some are just plain awful. Ms White will not disappoint. Enjoy

Great story line
This book offers a great and excited story line. It highlights the complexity of mental illness and the criminal justice system. I was engaged throughout the book and never felt like it was dragging on. I would definitely recommend it!

good story
I knew how this story would play out from the beginning. I wish they had at least pretended to look for other suspects. From doing investigative work for 30 years I know that the more you investigate you can rule out other people and motives as well as finding that the main suspect is the one.
On the subject of firing State workers in Florida: Attorneys are Select Exempt when means they are paid more than the average state employee and get more vacation time etc. Because they are select exempt they are hired at will which means they have a better chance of being fired. In my experience it is not uncommon for people to be fired. The average state worker can also be fired fairly easily. Things are not like in this book.
