to much focus on Sandy's sex life.

I have listened to many Turrow books and like the legal twist and turns. This has more twist in turns in the bedroom.

More legal scenes and less sex would be better

For a legal thriller I would have preferred more legal scenes and nuances than this book had. Also the books starts very slowly, so much so that I almost gave up on it 1-1/2 - 2 hours into it. Another complaint about the book would be that there is copious amounts of sexual scenes especially in the first half. It doesn’t offend me, and any book like this will have some of that, however this book simply had too much for my taste. As far as the music goes (bookrack edition) it didn’t bother me like it did some other reviewers, however it didn't add anything to the listening experience. When I first saw what bookrack was, I mistakenly thought there would be background noise of all kinds, for example if they were in the office then you would hear subtle office type noises, to enhance the feel of the narration. In the past I have heard audio books that do exactly that and I enjoyed those books very much.

Another great story

The Burden of Proof is another great book by Scott and his ability to create the scenes and tie the characters together in a meaningful way. It’s so enjoyable to read his works for great entertainment.

good story, adequate performance

I enjoyed the story, although it was a little slow at points. the performance was a bit unenthusiastic and I could have done without the overdone constant background music.

Extraordinary

Story and characters - especially “Sandy” are everyday heroes who come to brilliant life and are loved and familiar as any family.
