Breach of Trust

By: David Ellis

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Length: 12 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Jason Kolarich has spent the past year struggling to recover from the horrific deaths of his wife and baby daughter. On the night of their deaths, Kolarich was at the office, awaiting a call from a confidential informant named Ernesto Ramirez — a call that never came. Kolarich blames himself not only for the deaths of his wife and child, but for the informant’s murder as well. He can’t bring back his family, but he can find out who killed Ramirez and bring the killer to justice.

Unfortunately, Kolarich’s guns-blazing approach to justice lands him smack in the middle of an FBI probe of a deeply corrupt governor and his cronies. To avoid jail, Kolarich must enter a world of wiretaps, double-dealing, and kickbacks, where he soon discovers that the murder of his informant was only the tip of the iceberg. This breach of trust runs up to the highest levels of power, and exposing it may drag Kolarich into the fight of his life.

Good and interesting read.

Where does Breach of Trust rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I liked it and would purchase another book by David Ellis.

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

Yes. While there was a lot of reference to case law and government, it was made interesting, and the plot was always moving into different directions.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. I like Luke Daniel's performance.

Any additional comments?

I'm ready to buy another audio book and would difinitely look at purchasing another book in this series (if there is one), or another book by author and narrator.

it is a big yawn

hard to keep up with the many characters
I got to chapter 31 and had to stop the agony.

Can't get into this book

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I'm at chapter 20 and I can't imagine 10 more hours of this. I'm going to have to skip out on this book. Lots of details. Lots of names. No suspense. If you like legal or government procedures, then this book is for you. Better legal mysteries are the Brady Coyne series by William Tapply.

What didn’t you like about Luke Daniels’s performance?

The narrator is fine.

Not worth it

Sounds like computer generated voices

I am disappointed in this series! It's a jumbled mess. Jason is inconsistent in his beliefs, actions, temperament....everything! It feels like 4 books written by the same guy about different guys that happened to be a lawyer at the same firm. Then after they were written the names were changed to Jason and the background shoved down the readers throat. Did I mention a million and one times that his wife and baby daughter were killed in a car accident? Insulting to the intelligence of the reader that its bashed over our head every 15 pages.
All of the other characters are consistent and I fell like I know and care about those people more than Jason.

I'm about 3 hours into this book and it's not very good. The plot is interesting but Ellis is simply not a very talented writer. Dialogues are often ham-handed and his attempts at humor are groan-inducing. Not sure if I will even finish this one.

This book not so good

the authors are great this story not so good if I read this book first I wouldn't of done his other books so I started with number 4 and work my way back thank God I did that because all the other books were great too long too confusing too much information
