Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fast moving and tightly written...boasts a gripping story and characters who will make the reader care. All in all, a stylish and engaging novel." (Richard North Patterson)

Great story and narration

Really enjoyed the narrator. The story was well written and executed. Nice plot twist at the end though I did see it coming.

Guessing Game

Just enough mystery to hold the reader's attention - and some good suspense.

Good listen

This was a good book. Lots of action, lots going on to keep one interested. Kept me guessing till the end.

it was ok. (THIS BOOK IS PART OF A SERIES)

Disclaimer: I listened to this book through Audible’s Plus catalog, which makes no mention of it being part of any series, and I did not find this out until the book mentions it some hours in.


I don't know how to describe it. The book ranges from 'ehh' on some occasions, to 'okay' most of the time, to 'damn, that was pretty good' every now and then.

James Sheehan is the best!!

I love all of his books!! I own all his books in hardcover and if available in ebook I have those also.

Character study

Narration not great but ok. story rather interesting how authoe weaved it together. Recommend for anyone interested in mysteries

Enjoying the Narrator

I am really enjoying this book - the writing is engaging and the narrator excellent. The "choppy" parts are when the character and his wife are jogging and is quite good in creating an image. His ability to change his voice with the characters is EXCELLENT! No "he said" "she said" with each sentence and you can really follow the conversations.

Descriptions are clear and really create a picture. Good so far (I am about 2 hours in).

Unexpected

Did not expect much but surprisingly The Law of Second Chance is above my expectation. The story is quite slow but it did help with character building and understanding each of them more. The best part is the courtroom battle that’s entertaining without being too much drama or cliche. This one really feel realistic and while the twist isn’t so surprise it is quite a good one.

I’m hooked!

I am SO excited to continue enjoying this series! Great plot, character development, narrator and suspenseful

Always a good read!

I have read or listened to all of John Sheehan’s books. Every book has an interesting plot and twist. They keep you engaged. Love the characters and the courtroom drama. The narrator does an amazing job!
