most excellent read- tense & dramatic

Its hard to predict the wins if any in this intense court case drama.
Riveting.
George Keegan is not a perfect man and finds himself rethinking his ways.
I loved that character. I fought with him. Believed in him.Applauded him. Condemned him. Admired him.

Is it time to redefine himself?
Is it the right time to take risk?
only at the end will know ....

Fabulous narrator

John McLain has a deep, masculine, and confident voice. His narration makes the book very captivating and interesting. I have really enjoyed reading several of James P. Wood’s books. They have been written with such creativity and intelligence. John McLain is an awesome addition to the stories.

Lousy narration

It was hard to enjoy the book and get involved with the storyline because of the narrator. The characters seemed one dimensional.

Worth listening to

Just glancing at title, didn’t think it was my type of book. Getting tired of gruesome murder details. BUT, this book did not have that. It is face paced with well formed characters you can easily see in your mind. Story intriguing & sucks you in. Interesting book. Def enjoyed it.

Awesome Listen

I am a James Patterson fan and this reminds me of his earlier works before they were cookie cutter novels. This was very suspenseful and entertaining all the way through!
