No Lesser Plea

Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, Book 1

De: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Narrado por: Traber Burns

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Roger "Butch" Karp has been around New York long enough to realize that the judicial system can be dirty and cynical. But he still believes in justice. So when a vicious sociopath tries to dodge a brutal murder charge by convincing the court he is incompetent to stand trial, Karp teams up with firecracker Assistant DA Marlene Ciampi to unleash the full force of their relentless energy, hardboiled wit, and passion for the truth to put the killer away for good. They will accept no lesser plea.

This Blew My Socks Off

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard and so often while listening to a book that is a mystery/thriller. And then, to be brought to tears.

Such extreme emotions and it's all part of a terrific legal thriller.

5-stars all the way. Now, I'm going to look for more books by the author.

Too much information, you lost jest of story. His books are better read than listened to. Word word word.

See sbove. Nothing else to say, so word, words, word, word, and words. And more word!

A FAVORUTE SERIES, THIRD READING

Ghostwriter Michael Gruber left after RESOLVED. Ten volumes brethtakingly complex. Post-Gruber, complexity disappears. Sad loss.

OK story

Any additional comments?

The crude dialogue is masking the authors weakness in writing 3d characters. I honestly don't know people that speak in this juvenile and vulgar manner. The vulgarity of the characters prevents them from being fully developed. Women are sleazy, men obnoxious. This author can do better. Noir does not mean crude. In many instances the criminals are more refined than the lawyers.

Great Listen

I'm a new fan of the author and the reader. Great job. Being a fan of fiction Grisham, I find it hard to switch authors. This was a shot in the dark, and worth it.
