Juror #3

By: James Patterson, Nancy Allen

Narrated by: Megan Tusing

A young attorney is defending her client in a racially charged felony case -- but in a town of old money and hidden secrets, her first trial may be her last in this #1 New York Times bestselling legal thriller.
Ruby Bozarth, a newcomer to Rosedale, Mississippi, is also fresh to the State Bar -- and to the docket of Circuit Judge Baylor, who taps Ruby as defense counsel.
The murder of a woman from one of the town's oldest families has Rosedale's upper crust howling for blood, and the prosecutor is counting on Ruby's inexperience to help him deliver a swift conviction. Ruby's client is a college football star who has returned home after a career-ending injury, and she is determined to build a defense that will stick. She finds help in unexpected quarters from Suzanne, a hard-charging attorney armed to the teeth, and Shorty, a diner cook who knows more than he lets on.
Ruby never belonged to the country club set, but once she nearly married into it. As news breaks of a second murder, Ruby's ex-fiancé shows up on her doorstep -- a Southern gentleman in need of a savior. As lurid, intertwining investigations unfold, no one in Rosedale can be trusted, especially the twelve men and women impaneled on the jury. They may be hiding the most incendiary secret of all.

silly.

I have read this story, or one exactly like it before. Is not new. 2nd Time with this author, who writes conversations as between stupid people, missing, always the obvious answer or point. I guess it's just artistic license. I used to think this guy was pretty good, but in his old age, maybe it's just not working so well for him.

Juvenile and

The lawyer may be new but she is also. Juvenile. Who have authors the ok to talk “sailor language

Not Patterson’s usual standard!!

This book was disappointing. The narration was horrible! Her voice was annoyingly oitchv, accents very inauthentic and her volume varied widely. I have listened to audiobook for many years and this is the first I had to force myself to finish.

Had potential- got boring.

Just as I was getting into the story line, which took forever- it completely changed direction and got really boring.

Boring

No surprise. I could have told you the plot from almost the beginning. Almost frustrated that the main character could see what was going on
