Superb

I never would have expected a story about a lawsuit to be as enthralling as a detective / murder mystery or adventure novel. I couldn't put it down, the suspense being so great to know how the next cross-examination would unfold, or what diabolical scheme the defense lawyers would try next. An excellent first novel from Mr. Turk. I can't wait to get the next one.

AI generated narration

The narration for this book is CLEARLY not voice actors, but AI generated. I’m shocked no one else has picked up on this fact. Although it is a very good story, the artificial nature of the voices made it impossible for me to finish this audiobook. Shame, as I enjoyed the storyline quite a bit. I’ll just read the book instead.

very technical approach to the trials

What made the experience of listening to First Do No Harm the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the story, the intensive research and regard to detail and accuracy in the presentation of the legalities. The characters were quite well developed and plot lines clearly delineated. Wanting to see right win out over corporate law practices kept me tuned in to the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Morty Stein because we all want to believe in the altruism of the professional we turn to in need of their expertise. It is refreshing to read about altruism in the practice of the law , when most of us carry a bitter taste towards the motives of lawyers. Morty gives us hope that there are many more like him out there.

Which character – as performed by J. D. Hart – was your favorite?

Sammi

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

No , much too detailed and drawn out for a one sitting book.

Any additional comments?

Yes, I would ask the author to edit out some of the unnecessary and redundant details of the rule of law, as the overly lengthy descriptions just bogged down the story.

Very interesting legal story. Awesome Narrator.

Would you consider the audio edition of First Do No Harm to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version. Due to my work, I spend a lot of time in my car. I just simply have more time to listen than read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of First Do No Harm?

Dr. Herman convincing a patient that he was going to save her life with a gall bladder surgery and that he would wave the $50 deductible. That guy really symbolizes a lot of doctors and how they take advantage of patients and their insurance companies.

What about J. D. Hart’s performance did you like?

I found J.D. Hart's performance to be off the chart excellent. He made the story come to life with so many different character voices using, accents, voice pitch and intonation. His voice style is easy on the ear and comforting. He kept me engaged and interested.

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

Yes, I was hooked from the beginning and needed to find out if justice prevailed.

Any additional comments?

I'm looking forward to hearing more from this author A. Turk and his Benjamin Davis Series.

Riveting

The story was well written and the characters clearly defined. Even long court room scenes kept my attention and I was eager to get back to listening when I had to stop for awhile.

The narrator was excellent and having a female artist read female character's lines really enhances the listening experience. One of the best audio presentations I've heard.
