Publisher's summary

The second electrifying thriller from the "gifted writer" (Publishers Weekly) and author of A Conflict of Interest.

A high-profile attorney in the middle of a leave of absence following a personal tragedy is drawn back into the legal arena amidst a media firestorm when he agrees to represent a popular rap artist accused of brutally murdering his pop star girlfriend. With its powerful voice, pause-resisting tension, and strong cast of characters, Adam Mitzner’s novels are reminiscent of such best-selling authors as Scott Turow and John Grisham.

Critic reviews

"Mitzner's courtroom drama is Grisham-like in suspenseful before-the-bench action....a wicked ride, with more loops and flips than Coney Island's Cyclone." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"Ah, the crucible of the courtroom! Adam Mitzner understands its appeal so very well. Devotees of legal suspense will find themselves happily at home, zinging with the intrigue, reeling with the twists, and ultimately well fed with a satisfying (if shocking) resolution. And if you've been away from the fictional halls of justice for too long, A CASE OF REDEMPTION is where you need to come back." (Jamie Mason, author of Three Graves Full)

Great book

Loved the story. This was a Great detective work. Great love story and I love those.

Awesome

Just when you think that this story has a clear ending and twist, it takes yet another turn to become something even more dynamic. I am a new fan of Adams books and he has quickly become one of my favorites.

Didn't quite make it

I thought the story was pretty solid until the end, which got a little wobbly. However, I really didn't care for Kevin Collins' personification of the main character. His voice just didn't sound likely as a defense attorney. I know they all don't sound like Perry Mason, but I never heard one who came off so whiny and kind of pathetic. For that matter, I think it would have been a good idea to make friends with some lawyer or maybe just sit in one of their bars and start a conversation about what they might do to resolve a situation such as that at the end of the book. I think it needed more work.

Excellent listen

I found this to be an excellent listen both because the book was well written and the narrator was wonderful. The book kept me guessing all the way to an unexpected ending. Great listenn

I LOVED this book

I do a lot of reading. I like all types of books from Stephen King to Nicolas Sparks. I also enjoy the 50 shades series. This is the first book I have read from Adam Mitzner. I can say with 100% certainty it won't be my last. This book had me from page one. I didn't see any of the twists coming. I think the courtroom scenes were believable. (In that, in many books, I feel the writer makes the judge "pick" on our hero more than would be believable.) This book had a great hero and the whole story developed the characters very well. Yayyyy me for finding a new author to enjoy.

A little sappy for my tastes...

Would you consider the audio edition of A Case of Redemption to be better than the print version?

No

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, the twists, while not totally out of left field, were interesting throughout.

Did Kevin T. Collins do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, I have no fault with that aspect of his recordings.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

The narrator, while obviously a talented voice, inflects so much emotion, so often, that I was actually uncomfortable at times. The quavering voice routine every time he waxed on about his feelings made the protagonist somewhat unrelatable to me. The same words, read in a different style, could demonstrate true, masculine emotion and not the romance novel fluff those sections became. I cannot say for certain whether the flowery style was the choice of the narrator or the director, but it did make me wish I had a paper version instead.

Figured out the solution and twist far too soon...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The main character seemed unrealistic to me. Having worked at such a major law firm as a partner and then to act the way he did and used the vocabulary and grammar he did during the story seemed a bit off. Also, I predicted both the solution AND the twist at the end far too soon. I don't know if that's the fault of the narrator or the author, I guess a bit of both.

Has A Case of Redemption turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I still like them.

What about Kevin T. Collins’s performance did you like?

He did the voices well, he was quite flexible that way. But what I didn't like was that he didn't make the main character sound like a grown up lawyer with a tragic history. More like a teenager, which just didn't fit.

Was A Case of Redemption worth the listening time?

It was okay... I listened until the end to see if I was correct in my suspicions regarding the end...
