Story4.5 out of 5 stars 18,850
We expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity and impartiality are the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the orderly and efficient flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe? It’s rare, but it happens. Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. She is a lawyer, not a cop, and it is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 99
For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins when a shocking act of negligence results in homicide. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and the DA is listening. It is Butch Karp's unpleasant job to give the public what it wants - a thorough administration of hard-line justice - by prosecuting a poor, Hispanic, fifteen-year-old mother for murder. Complicating matters further is Butch's wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, who has decided to return to law.

The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the “New Germany,” she has one affair after another....

Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their 16-year-old son, Adam, has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate, Spencer Hill they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: "Just stay quiet and all safe."
Meanwhile, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son's death...and he wasn't alone.

- Hold Tight
- By: Harlan Coben
- Narrated by: Scott Brick
Typically Terrific Coben
Reviewed: 12-16-14
Would you listen to Hold Tight again? Why?
I wouldn't get the kick out of it the second time
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes..it was just good story telling and eventful
What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
Constant, even, well acted and clear.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, both laugh and tear up a little but for personal reasons
Any additional comments?
Coben has the touch...he makes me think of myself as a teen and raising my kids as well..
His Sports references are on the money and his grasp of the events of the day around all of us just makes for "can't put it down" value.
Loved the listen!

Shortchanged
Reviewed: 12-02-13
Would you try another book from James Patterson and/or Michael Boatman and Tom Wopat ?
Not unless he guarantees a complete book...beginning, middle and ENDING....I didn't pay for a book that doesn't finish!
Has Cross My Heart turned you off from other books in this genre?
No,just books that have no ending....if it is serial book, then state so!
Did Michael Boatman and Tom Wopat do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Soemtimes
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes I likes the idea but was sorely disappointed at the end.
Any additional comments?
Please ! I am so annoyed I want my money back!

Destination Zero
Reviewed: 12-26-11
What disappointed you about You're Next?
The plot never stood still long en0ugh to get fleshed out and understood
Was his search for his mother and father primary? Was the misuse of construction material the
plot? Was his fear for his daughter the plot?
WAs his relationship with child primary?
And on and on....it just rambled without purpose or understandable explanation.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Patterson, Alex Cross
What didn’t you like about Scott Brick’s performance?
Again, a reader with no variance of emotion...
What character would you cut from You're Next?
THE AUTHOR
Any additional comments?
THOSE AREN'T ENOUGH?
I FEEL LIKE I SPENT MONEY WITHOUT GETTING A RETURN IN ENJOYMENT!
