A real writer, a thriller, and a good story.—Boston Globe

One of the best in the business.—Time

This generation's best writer of legal thrillers.—Entertainment Weekly

A terrific novelist.—Washington Post

Bad production, good story.

It's hard to rate when the quality of the production was so crummy. seems like a few minutes before the book was due to be complete the recording, which sounded like an a.m. radio, started over in the middle. Good story but audio was junk.

Great story well told

This is a Quick but engaging listen. I Highly recommend it for mystery and legal thriller fans.

Sounds as though it was actually "phoned in"
