Publisher's summary

Beverly Ford lost more than just her husband when he died in Iraq from a fatal wound and faulty body armor - she also lost her faith in the government and its military. After no response to her unlawful death claim, she's taking them both to court. Successful attorney David Sloane, a former Marine, knows Beverly's case is a no-win situation, but his conscience won't let him abandon her.

As he digs deeper into the investigation, Sloane confronts a law called the Feres Doctrine which prohibits a soldier's family from suing the government for his death. Contested nearly 3,000 times in the past 50 years, the Feres Doctrine has yet to be amended or overturned. Now Sloane is desperate to find a loophole. But as he examines the events that led to James Ford's death, he uncovers disturbing evidence of a powerful enemy playing a very deadly game - one that may put him and his family in dire jeopardy.

Compelling characters, jaw-dropping twists, and a dangerous hunger for justice make Wrongful Death an edge-of-your-seat audio full of hot-button issues and searing courtroom drama.

Loved it. Action from the very start. Suspense at every turn. Interesting take on main character.

Continuity of characters from previous Dugoni novels.

Loved the broadened character development of previously introduced players…also enjoyed Digoni’s well-developed plots, and the smooth transition between courtroom snd action sequences,

Attorney David Sloane takes on the US government

Wrongful Death is about a member of the Washington state National Guard who was killed during the US war in Iraq. In this case I suggest reading the publisher's summary which does a nice job of setting up the novel. I will add only that the key to potential success of attorney David Sloane is whether the action when the man was killed was part of the war or was in the furtherance of the business interest of a military contractor.

Wrongful Death is a legal thriller, but much of the action and intense suspense is outside the courtroom. Author Robert Dugoni has written a wonderful novel and Dan John Miller's narration is outstanding. As I have written in other reviews Robert Dugoni is one of my favorite authors who never disappoints. Dugoni's newest release in his outstanding Tracy Crosswhite police procedural series titled Close to Home will be released in a few hours.

Enjoyable

The story was enjoyable, nice twists.

The quality of the narrations was SHOCKING! I would have given it MINUS 10 if I could. Very poor quality!

The second book in the David Sloane series, it uses two hot button issues to create a masterful story -- the feres doctrine (military cannot sue the government) and military contractors, who supply the military with functions not available internally. There are lots of characters and keeping them separate is not easy. The book was well written and uses flash backs to tell some of the story. There seemed to be no useless details and it was quite engaging

Excellent Thriller!

Splendid SPLENDID story. SOOO refreshing to enjoy an adventure having gobsmacking twists and surprises - all believable, with Wonderful characters and no blasphemy or goofy raw sex which are unfortunately pervasive among many (most?) contemporary writers’ practices. Have loved every one of Robert Dugoni’s novels; Wrongful Death IMHO is one of his Best, and Dan John Miller is among my Very fave narrators.

Wrongful Death

Excellent book and series, full of suspense, couldn't put it down. I can't wait to download the next in series. I would highly recommend this book and series.


Excellent Audible narration.

Audio horrible

Good story, but the poor audio made it difficult to listen to in the car

Not the best

The story line was decent , but the narration and the recording of the narration for this book made it rather painful to listen to
