Death Qualified

A Barbara Holloway Novel

De: Kate Wilhelm

Narrado por: Anna Fields

Five years ago Barbara Holloway gave up practicing law, disillusioned with a profession that put politics before justice. Then she receives a phone call, with a simple message: "I need you."

Nell Kendricks's husband disappeared seven years earlier, abandoning his young family. Nell hasn't seen him since, until the day Lucas Kendricks arrives at the edge of her property and is shot, instantly killed.

Accused of his murder, Nell turns to lawyer Frank Holloway for help. But Frank knows he cannot win this case alone. He calls upon his daughter Barbara, who remains "death qualified," legally able to defend clients who face the death penalty if convicted.

Barbara is determined to stay distanced from the case, but the more she learns, the more questions she finds herself asking. Is Nell innocent, as Frank attests? Where has Lucas Kendricks been for the past seven years? Despite her vow, Barbara finds herself drawn to the case and reclaims the search for truth that first led her to the law.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wilhelm is a masterful storyteller whose novels have just the right blend of solid plot, compelling mystery, and great courtroom drama." (Library Journal)

Not that good

The narration was awful, she kept repeating passages and the story drug on forever. I like long books and decided to listen to it anyway after reading the reviews. I wish I had not wasted my time.

Great listen

I think they story was good because it was different. Narrator was truly great and entertaining!

Took a while to get started. Good story.

Had problems with parts of the reading being repeated. It happened 6-8 times and repeated the last couple of minutes.

Oh HELL No!!!

This story caught my attention right off. I liked the characters, it kept me wondering and entertained… until it didn’t.

I gave e it 3 stars. I would have given it 5 right up to the end, except the story just stopped. No real satisfaction

Great Story, But Narration Repeats

Great story that leaves you wanting more. Unfortunately, the narration repeats a few times at the start of several chapters.
