Judge & Jury

De: James Patterson, Andrew Gross

Narrado por: Joe Mantegna

Senior FBI agent Nick Pellisante is closing in on the notorious mob boss "The Electrician", when the scheduled sting goes spectacularly awry. Two FBI agents are dead, the boss is wounded, and Pellisante vows the Electrician's next move will be from a jail cell.

Andie Echeverra, a part-time actress and a single, full-time mom, is assigned her next role as Juror #11 in the landmark trial against Mafia Don Dominic Cavello. Everybody is on edge. No one has ever crossed the man whose orders have made entire families disappear.

Though Cavello's influence extends across blue uniforms and black robes, the case should be open-and-shut. But the legal system fails with devastating results, and Nick and Andie are the only ones left to seek justice. To stop the Electrician, they must take matters into their own hands. They are the judge and jury now.

James Patterson spins an all-out heart-pounding legal thriller that pits two people against the most vicious and powerful mobster since John Gotti.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A compelling hero and a truly evil villain distinguish this exciting read." (Booklist)

Thank You Joe Mantegna

This is a good story with typical Patterson energy and excitement. The award, however, goes to Joe Mantegna who narrated so effectively that after a chapter or two I forgot there was only one person reading! Characters stood out and their individual feelings and personalities became familiar. Mantegna never seemed to forget which character was speaking. It made me chuckle at the thought of him changing costumes for each one.

All in all, Patterson seldom disappoints and in the case of Judge & Jury, Joe Mantegna makes sure of it.

Surprisingly good

This book surprised me. Patterson's latest books have been good beach reads but that was about it. They were slightly predictable ... not really surprising ... but nice to read when you did not want to think. "Judge & Jury" was a pleasant surprise. It really held my attention with the plot twists and surprises. It actually kept me in my drive way a couple times. I wanted to finish the chapter before getting out of the car. To me, that is the test of a good listen.

Awesome

I found this book on par with Black Friday (aka Black Market) as the best of the non-Alex Cross and non-Woman's Murder Club books. Considering how many books fit into that category, this is an absolute MUST READ.

Bring on the Chase
