A Case of Redemption

By: Adam Mitzner

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins

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)

Just OK

What did you like best about A Case of Redemption? What did you like least?

This book was mediocre for me. I finished it but will not look for another title by this author.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending took me by surprise.

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

The narration was very stiff and overly emotive.

Mitzner is like Grisham but better!

Where does A Case of Redemption rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I don't write many reviews, but this is a MUST READ/LISTEN! Adam is an amazingly gifted writer. He hooks you in minutes. His other book was excellent as well.

AWESOME BOOK!!!!

GREAT STORY!!! AWESOME NARRATOR!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ADAM MITZNER BOOK! HE IS AN INCREDIBLE WRITER!

Good

I enjoyed this book. For a while I thought it would turn out too smoochy but that wasn't the case. The narrator was ok and the storyline kept me interested.

Somewhat Predictable But Well Written

While this book has been seen as Grisham-esque, I find almost all fictional legal thrillers to be in that category. This book is about flawed characters hoping to redeem themselves professionally and/or personally and to grow from that redemption. Any failure to do that is part of the charm of this book. The plot is simple but a nice ride and the twist is just that a twist. Although it is lengthy it is an easy listen and the time spent with the characters is well worth it.

Sensational twists and turns and spellbinding plot

Where does A Case of Redemption rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right at the top

What did you like best about this story?

The total surprise at the end.

What does Kevin T. Collins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His ability to define characters, mood, were outstanding. This was more like being a fly on the wall than "reading"

Any additional comments?

I hope Adam Mitzner writes more and Kevin Collins is his reader. A dynamite combination!
Wish I'd read his first book before his 2nd but I'll certainly keep him as a favorite author.

Surprise Ending

I don't normally get taken by surprise at the ending of books. Normally I can figure out which direction the story will go. This was a surprise to me which I enjoyed very much.

John Grisham w a better ending

If you like John Grisham you will like this author. In depth discussion of law. Unlike Grisham though the ending is well thought out. Narrator is very good too

It was OK

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Did I enjoy listening to the book? For the most part. It was entertaining. But plot turns are abrupt and the ending was unsatisfying. The most interesting moments are spent in the courtroom. Mitzner should spend more time there in his next book.

Would you recommend A Case of Redemption to your friends? Why or why not?

Not really. There are better books out there.

Which character – as performed by Kevin T. Collins – was your favorite?

The main character is the only fully developed character - easily the best one.

Was A Case of Redemption worth the listening time?

Yes. But not memorable.

Any additional comments?

Mitzner's courtroom descriptions were good. Spend more time there.

Average

It was okay. Not something I'd pick again or re-listen. Seems the story line was short so there was a lot of fill.
