About this listen

‘’We the Jury has what most legal thrillers lack—total authenticity, which is spellbinding.'’ —James Patterson

On the day before his twenty-first wedding anniversary, David Sullinger buried an ax in his wife’s skull. Now, eight jurors must retire to the deliberation room and decide whether David committed premeditated murder—or whether he was a battered spouse who killed his wife in self-defense.

Told from the perspective of over a dozen participants in a murder trial, We, the Jury examines how public perception can mask the ghastliest nightmares. As the jurors stagger toward a verdict, they must sift through contradictory testimony from the Sullingers’ children, who disagree on which parent was Satan; sort out conflicting allegations of severe physical abuse, adultery, and incest; and overcome personal animosities and biases that threaten a fair and just verdict. Ultimately, the central figures in We, the Jury must navigate the blurred boundaries between bias and objectivity, fiction and truth.

I can quite understand why this might not be for some listeners, It's fairly dry. You need to sit through a lot of preamble and different off-shoots to get to the meat of it, In that sense it's likeness to a jury trial might make more sense. It's not all neatly done in a few scenes like a Hollywood movie.

Yet for me, a bit of perseverance really paid off.

I like the way that different narrators come to the fore to tell their side/view of proceedings. It adds to the layers to see the case being discussed from a number of different observers. You might find yourself switching verdicts back and forth as you listen along, different views giving you a different perspective on things.

This is not a traditional "whodunnit" mystery. That will put come people off. But it's an interesting take on a jury trial and how "justice" is arrived at. And for me it had a real intelligence that gets you thinking.

And it's well acted by the cast too.
