hard to follow

Hard to follow! kept listening because it was free.
I would not recommend this book.

Poor ending.

Good intense, story though out most of the book. solid characters, relevant details, but the ending lacked finality.

Fabulous narrator

John McLain has a deep, masculine, and confident voice. His narration makes the book very captivating and interesting. I have really enjoyed reading several of James P. Wood’s books. They have been written with such creativity and intelligence. John McLain is an awesome addition to the stories.

Very good story

Loved this book it kept me up for hours listening to it. Couldn’t wait for the ending so I listened for hours! You will love the story line

most excellent read- tense & dramatic

Its hard to predict the wins if any in this intense court case drama.
Riveting.
George Keegan is not a perfect man and finds himself rethinking his ways.
I loved that character. I fought with him. Believed in him.Applauded him. Condemned him. Admired him.

Is it time to redefine himself?
Is it the right time to take risk?
only at the end will know ....

Performer’s voice made it hard to appreciate the story line

Overall the story was decent, but I found it hard to like the narcissistic protagonist.

The performer’s voice drones on in a deep, monotonous tone that also made it hard to engage in the story.

STAY OF EXECUTION IS A SOLID STORY...

Well-written story about a principled D.A. who has lost part of himself to his vital career, and his handling of an important case during his campaign for reelection. Good narration and action - Well done!

GRADE: B+/ A-

Oh my

Every time I choose a book to read, I treat it with an open mind. I don’t sample before downloading - I want to be surprised. Of the 475+plus Audible books I have listened to there have been maybe 3 I have returned unfinished because of the narration. This will be #4.

Nothing outstanding

I can’t say I would recommend this book on tape. I seriously stopped listening at a third of the way through it. It’s terribly boring.

Hard to stay engaged.

this story was hard to stay engaged in. struggled to not fast forward to end.
