About this listen

In Kindle County, a woman is killed in an apparent random drive-by shooting. The woman turns out to be the ex-wife of a prominent state senator and an old acquaintance of Judge Sonia Klonsky, on whose desk the case lands. As the pursuit of justice takes bizarre and unusual turns, Judge Klonsky is brought face-to-face with a host of extraordinary personalities and formidable enemies bent on her destruction.

Critic reviews

"Turow once again proves that there is more substance in a single page of one of his novels than in the entire works of John Grisham or any other author in the legal thriller genre." ( Library Journal)

Too many forward and back chapters. Hard to follow unless isolated. Performed by a variety of readers.

Complicated read as it jumps time frames

Love the author, love the story, but at the beginning and end of every chapter is this suspenseful transition music that's just awful and it totally disrupts the flow of the story. But... Still a good listen if you can get past that.

Great plot. AWFUL sound interludes.

too much philosophizing by the main characters. Story line was not predictable. Brought back memories of the times; rang true. But when listening, esp on the cheap device I have, I can't speed up or skip, and the Sunny/Seth angst near the end just seemed to drag on and on.

The times rang true; clever; but...

One of the best audio books I have listened to.
The characterizations were spot on, and as always, Scott Turows language is moving .

excellent

I cannot think of another book I have read with more character development than this. The story was amazing. I should say stories because there were several subplots going on all wonderfully woven together before the end. I did not see some of the developments coming. This is a refreshing change From the predictable cookie cutter stories in most novels and movies.

Characters so real you know them

Story extended too long; wandered, story convoluted and losing listener. Would suggest this is a catharsis for the author.

Wandered

What a wonderfully written book and I listen to it twice to fully understand it completely. A very good book that I would recommend.

Such a great book. The back-and-forth between past and current times. So glad I listened to it.

Wow

I cannot fault the story or the narrators.
The music was dreadful, overwrought, and unnecessarily intrusive.

Excellent in so many ways

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The story is excellent and having several performers really helped to make it clear who was talking. I highly recommend the book but be prepared to be annoyed by the ridiculous music between the chapters

Wonderful but annoying music
