Great courtroom story.

Enjoyed the story development. The murder and suicide were great twists in the story development.

Amazing Operation...

...but, far from perfect, including the lead man. I like this performer. Did not like 95% of the characters at all, including judge Nash. Intense story line maybe not totally plausible, was entertaining. A lecherous cast, w/ the whitehats having great intentions. Did not like abrupt ending. Woods' stories so far are pretty unique.

Enjoyable but the end!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book but the ending was vague or else I’m not intuitive enough to foresee what happened
A sequel would be nice. Any chance of there being one?

Good listen, ends quickly without closure

A lot of build-up in the story, making you think certain story lines will make a return and be explained later; sadly no. Many possible ways this could've ended, to where you start rooting for the judge, but ends abruptly with almost no closure on any aspect. Not sure if he was hero or villain, moral or immoral, a good parent or just a screw-up. Maybe author's intent, but left me feeling the show got cancelled after a really good pilot.

the story was good

the story was good but the narrator pronounced words like "deputy" as "depidy" and "sentence" as "senince" and "Gutierrez" as "Goodderiz" otherwise if you can get past that, it worth a listen.
