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.

Story
Amy Nicols (Lizzy Caplan) was an FBI agent with a dogged need to protect everyone—until that instinct caused her to mishandle a crisis, lose innocent lives, and lose her job. Now a civilian working in private security, that mistake still haunts her. One morning on the commuter train, she overhears a young couple plotting a murder. Ignoring warnings from her family and friends, Amy’s instinct to protect and serve compels her to investigate. But the further she goes, the more she finds her own life in danger.

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.”

Great book
I really enjoyed this book. I had never heard of Slotnick so hearing some of his best cases only didn’t bother me. I did feel like the reading was very monotone but his accent was perfect for the story. I definitely recommend this book!

Narration
The story line was amazing as usual with James Patterson. However, the narration was awful. Sounded like he reading a grocery list with no emotion or anticipation. And his enunciation of certain words hurt my ears.
James Patterson is an amazing writer, but this narrator did him no justice.

Unimpressed.
The narrator was dull, hard to follow. I wished I would have known this was a biography. I could have looked it up, and not been subjected to nine hours that I'm not getting back. He sure got a lot of guilty people off and lived a life of wealth.

Good account of extraordinary defense attorney
Recommended for fans of courtroom books. Patterson offers many colorful anecdotes about Slotnick, and focuses on a couple of his most celebrated victories. I wish he had told each story sequentially, rather than cutting back and forth between them, which makes them harder to follow.

Pretty good story.
Good story. The narrator was one dimensional which kind of took away from the story.

Justice or not
While I think it’s sickening that thugs, murderers, and criminal offenders get off because their attorney is a good actor, story teller, or perhaps good at coaching their clients into a false narrative, I do admit the details of the cases are very interesting. The reader was excellent, and it’s a page turner for certain.

Interesting read; needs a better narrator
The story is very interesting but the reader is stilted and sounds uncomfortable with his story. I assumer he's related somehow but this would have been even better with another reader.
