Hard to put down

Really enjoyed this book. Kept me interested all the way through. Good characters and loved the court room.
Did not foresee the ending. Highly recommend.

A good listen

Sheldon Siegel is a very accomplished writer and obviously knows the legal system inside out. I felt I was in very safe hands listening to this and the narrator was just right for the book.
While I did enjoy it I sometimes felt the minutiae of the court room dialogues was a little too much but this is a minor niggle. I will buy the next book in the series so that says quite a lot really!

Great legal drama

I came across this author and gave him a try. So glad I did a well written and narrated book. Compare well with mark Giminez or Grisham.

Great story and excellent narrator!! Pick this!

I have just finished this audible book in record time. the story is great, a clever courtroom drama with who done it intertwined. The main character is charismatic and very likable, someone you would be happy to know. the Narration was excellent, I bought into the characters, he made them real. For me this book had everything I wanted. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Off to buy the next one!

Great listen

Took me a while to get into this book and the narrator's style but I'm glad I stayed with it. Once I was into it I was hooked. Lots of court room action which I personally love. Great story with touches of humour throughout and Tim Cambell did a great job.

My first from this author but won’t be my last!

Great book and excellent narrator. Really enjoyed the Mike Daley character, didn’t see the twist at the end but once it began to unravel did predict where it was heading, the book was no less enjoyable for that.
Lots of courtroom action and full of sardonic humour. Looking forward to more in this series (although already disappointed to see that after the first few books they halve in length).

A great listen

This book has a good story line and is read well, the characters seem to come to life and halfway through you think you have the ending - rest assured you don't.
I'm already looking forward to the next in the series

Such an original and enjoyable lead character

I really, really liked the Mike Daley lead character. A brilliant composite of former priest and partner in a leading law firm who goes it on his own in the world of criminal law He's no hero at all in the physical sense and worries about his parked car and his own well-being BUT he's very refreshing and believable. The narrator does a stunningly good job of his character and is really good throughout. The whole thing though was let down by some not inconsiderable weaknesses in the plot and I think the courtroom dialogue became a bit repetitious and implausible. Still I liked it so much overall that I'll take a chance on the next one!

Great first book in a new series

I enjoyed this very much and was even listening to it in the house - I usually only listen in the car! It moves along at a good pace and the characters are well-rounded and interesting. It had a real jaw-dropper of a reveal at the end. I liked Mike Daley’s cynicism and humour though I’d be interested to see if future books make more of his past in the Catholic priesthood. I’ll definitely be following this series. The reader was great - he kept the energy going really well.
