About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Stafford Lee Penney is the best defence lawyer in Mississippi - he's never lost a case. Until now.

Hot on the heels of his latest courtroom victory, his wife is brutally murdered. Devastated, Stafford Lee spirals into a losing streak that forces him to abandon his once brilliant career.

But his wife's killer is still on the loose and they seem determined to frame Stafford Lee for their crimes. Rising from rock bottom, he makes a bold return to court - to defend himself in the biggest murder trial this town has ever seen.

Stafford Lee must crack the toughest case of his career. And this time, it's personal.

Grisham never fails to deliver and I was gripped throughout this tortuous tale. We follow the ruse and fall of our lawyer whose defence of the indefensible creates backlash in his personal life. So many turns in this take. A few times I felt it was about to conclude and it whipped off on another track with a different strand to the story. Very satisfying and excellent narration throughout.

Fast paced

I enjoyed this story and it had an element in the middle which completely threw me as I was not expecting it. It almost meant that there was two books in one.

I can’t really give any negative comments and I did want to know what happened in the end, but it was not as exciting as I thought it could be or as other books are.

Do I regret listening to it - absolutely not. Would I recommend it? Probably not because there are better books out there but for a time filling listen, it hit the spot.

Unexpected twist in the middle.

The story itself was well constructed and the characters interesting and complex . The courtroom battles appeared authentic although I’m not a lawyer.

This was my first James Patterson book. What a story it’s got to be one of the best I have ever listened to. As for the narrator Kevin Stilwell just bought the story to life. Not sure I will be able to top this one.

What a story
