The Two-Witness Rule

A Novel

By: William Eleazer

Narrated by: Bob Johnson

Length: 7 hrs

Publisher's summary

Assistant District Attorney Scott Marino has been assigned a tough case: the prosecution of Max Gordon, one of the nation's most prominent and successful defense attorneys, who was accused of paying witnesses to commit perjury in a Savannah criminal trial.

Some crimes are just different. Murder is the most serious crime committed on an individual, but perjury is the most dangerous to the criminal justice system. While one witness is legally sufficient to prove murder, for perjury, the two-witness rule applies. But the young prosecutor is challenged by more than this unique rule. He must prosecute a cunning lawyer who is defended by another just as crafty. He wants this dishonest attorney disbarred and put away for 10 years. With the stakes so high, Marino faces threats to both his integrity and his life as he prepares for the biggest trial of his young career.

This is the third novel by William Eleazer. All of his novels - Savannah Law, The Indictments, and now, The Two-Witness Rule - share the same locale: beautiful and quaint Savannah, Georgia.

Good, but a little slow

Yes, because I like the stories and the characters.

Once. Great stuff and I would continue to listen.

Do you think The Two-Witness Rule needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, there should be a series.

Disappointing

The Two-Witness Rule
: William Eleazer

I probably should have read / listened to the previous books in this series. This book didn't hold my attention. It felt like the author was talking down to his audience. The characters were flat, no real plot. I will try the previous books then re-listen to this and see if my opinion changes.

Well after reading Savannah Law, I have to say it was much better than this installment.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Bob Johnson. He was able to add a bit of life to this sad follow up.

Witness Rule

I loved Savannah Law and did not know about the follow up book “The Indictments” I would have loved to read it before reading the “Two Witness Rule “. This book however can be read as a standalone and has continued the story line of assistant DA Scott Marino. Scott prosecutes defense lawyer Max Gordon, whom he had gone up against in “Savanah Law” Max is charged with paying off witnesses to commit perjury and influencing witnesses.

The Two-Witness Rule is once again set Savannah Georgia. I listened to the audio book version and once again enjoyed the narration and story line.

Enjoyable!!!

Would you try another book from William Eleazer and/or Bob Johnson?

I would! I enjoyed the plot. I liked the characters.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not really. I felt part of the plot moved too fast, while other aspects were a bit slow. It didn't keep me guessing, but I did the story line

What aspect of Bob Johnson’s performance would you have changed?

I had to get use to Mr. Johnson's cadence. At first, I had difficulty telling the difference between him reading the plot versus when a character was talking. Once I figured out how he spoke, it was all good & I had no issues.

Do you think The Two-Witness Rule needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I do. There were some unanswered questions. I believe this book is in a series. I did not listen to the other books first. I am going to. I will also be looking for any future books with these characters.

Any additional comments?

Overall, it was good. Not the best I've listened to, but good. I would recommend it. It was really a nice & easy book.

Character-driven legal suspense

This is a continuation of the story begun in the previous books in this series. Again, it's very much a character-driven legal suspense story with much courtroom drama and a twist at the end that may surprise you. Unfortunately, it ended rather abruptly with a few loose ends, although it's not quite a cliffhanger.

I've come to appreciate Bob Johnson's narration of this series. He gives distinctive and appropriate voices to the characters and seems to have made this series his own.

a very complicated book

this book intrigued me long time ago, I heard it now in audio and I'm glad I did it .
it is a very complex book.... so much elements to remember .you have to hear it while you alone and nobody bothers you.
I liked the cases very much... I don't have much to say about this book because everything I will say will be a spoiler or something that will confuse you.. I think if you like complicated and complex books this is the one for you it's not a simple book but very enjoyable
the narrator was nice I liked his voice

Engrossing

William Eleazer is a new author for me as is the narrator, Bob Johnson. The story takes place in Savannah, Georgia. Our protagonist is Assistant District Attorney Scott Marino. He is trying a well-known defense attorney for witness tampering. They want Marino off the case. They frame him for a crime so the DA will remove him.

The book is well written. The story grabbed my attention immediately. The next thing I knew it is one a.m. I could hardly put the book down. The characters are interesting and well developed. Enjoyed the courtroom action. I understand this is Eleazer’s third book. I will go now go back and read his other two books.

The book is seven hours long. Bob Johnson does a good job narrating the book. Johnson is a voice artist and audiobook narrator.

Tricky Lawyers!

I really enjoyed listening to this original book! The author did great with the various twists and highlighting how some lawyers do despicable maneuvers around the law. I thought the narrator did great with his performance and added much to the book. The suspense was great in this story. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I have listened to several books by both this author and narrator and enjoy their style and will continue to listen to more of their works.

Great legal suspense novel

I love the tension of a good legal thriller. Eleazer holds your attention throughout!

Bob Johnson did an excellent job bringing the characters to life.
