Decent story line but not great on audio

Generally love legal thrillers and an Ellsworth fan. Even like the narrator, his style is just not well suited here. Too soothing, too smooth. Thaddeus series needs a tougher voice.

I couldn’t get past the voice.

The story just drug on! The narration made it so much harder to follow. I rewound and tried 3 times between chapters 3&15 and I just couldn’t do it …
