Falsely Accused

The Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi Series, Book 8

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Narrated by: Traber Burns

In the eighth story of the popular Butch Karp legal thriller series, Karp and his crime-fighting wife, Marlene, struggle to protect the abused and wrongly accused from powerful enemies.

This time, famed prosecutor Butch Karp is on the side of an unjustly accused plaintiff, the chief medical examiner of New York City, who was fired and accused of gross incompetence. Karp may be in private practice now, but he still knows the ins and outs of the New York City brass, and his investigation into the wrongful termination soon reveals rot that goes all the way to city hall. Meanwhile, Karp's fearless wife, Marlene, works to protect dozens of abused women. The two fight injustice everywhere they find it as the city spins madly out of control.

Superb

Had me from the first sentence. And I couldn't turn it off from start to the very last word. Tanenbaum is a master and Traber Burns does a magnificent job of narrating this series, and this one is no exception. He captures the essence of all the characters.

Bring on the next one.

Fascinating

This is an excellent story. The characters are amazing and the story is very unexpected. I really enjoyed this book.

Language miss use

There are several places in this and the previous story where the reader says nucular Instead of nuclear. He also says nuclear several times but there are at least three instances where he clearly says n-u-c-U-l-a-r. There are also two or three instances where he says “could care less”. This should be “couldn’t care less”, as in he cares the least amount. This is either miss written by the author or miss stated by the reader but in any case is incorrect and it’s surprising that this would even be there undergoing the level of editing required before publication. I’m surprised with both of these miss uses of language.

impeccable characterization and plotting

well, as close to impeccable as this world gets… taut writing with real humor and complex emotions

Some Sad

The author gets to decide who lives. I don’t think it moves a story along when certain people are sacrificed. That’s just me, though.

Well Done. Enjoyable.

Crisp writing, humorous, and completely compassionate as appropriate. I saw the end coming, but it even had an unforeseen twist.

A good book ruined by the narration

Couldn't finish it. I like Tanenbaum and his protagonist, Karp, but the narrator was unbearable.
