Great courtroom story.

Enjoyed the story development. The murder and suicide were great twists in the story development.

Amazing Operation...

...but, far from perfect, including the lead man. I like this performer. Did not like 95% of the characters at all, including judge Nash. Intense story line maybe not totally plausible, was entertaining. A lecherous cast, w/ the whitehats having great intentions. Did not like abrupt ending. Woods' stories so far are pretty unique.

Enjoyable but the end!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book but the ending was vague or else I’m not intuitive enough to foresee what happened
A sequel would be nice. Any chance of there being one?

Good story, bad character accents.

If you are able to get through the terrible fake accents from this performer, then listen to the entire book. The story is compelling and well written. The performer does very well when he is not trying to conjure up an Israeli accent. That accent sounds somewhere between count Dracula and German. He would be better off playing it straight with his normal reading accent. Other than that I enjoyed the book.

poor ending

I enjoyed the story line. However, I feel like it could have had one more chapter. It left us hanging regarding what happened with the him, the girl and the guy running the investigation.

Good listen, ends quickly without closure

A lot of build-up in the story, making you think certain story lines will make a return and be explained later; sadly no. Many possible ways this could've ended, to where you start rooting for the judge, but ends abruptly with almost no closure on any aspect. Not sure if he was hero or villain, moral or immoral, a good parent or just a screw-up. Maybe author's intent, but left me feeling the show got cancelled after a really good pilot.

the story was good

the story was good but the narrator pronounced words like "deputy" as "depidy" and "sentence" as "senince" and "Gutierrez" as "Goodderiz" otherwise if you can get past that, it worth a listen.

I hated the way it ended

The story was good, it kept you interested but if there is not another book that picks up where this book left off then it left too many loose ends. Unanswered questions of how things turned out. I hated the ending.

A Book With No Ending

This book had a WTH (what the heck) ending. I mean, was the good judge going to be arrested? The book moved slowly. It lacked excitement and was a bit boring from time to time. I didn’t care for any of the characters. It ended stupidly, or should I say, it just didn’t have an ending. The narration was okay. The vocabulary level was good, thank goodness.

Too long to keep my interest

This book was about corrupt judges. Like the other 2 books I listened to by this author, this was too long, no real likable characters and often confusing. The narrator's voice almost puts you to sleep with the monotone quality. Average story, just too long to really keep my interest.
