Wrongful Conviction

Southern California Legal Thriller

By: Rachel Sinclair

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A young black boy serving life in prison...

A city on fire...

One man stands between a life behind bars and total exoneration...

Christian Davis, a former big-firm lawyer turned social justice warrior, has just been assigned the case of his life by the State of California. Jamel Jackson, a 16-year-old black boy, has just been convicted for the brutal rape of a prominent movie star.

Christian digs into the case with gusto, as he examines the trial court transcript for any hint that the trial court might have erred in Jamel's case. As he gets into the investigation of the case, he's shocked at what he has found. Corruption at the highest level is staring him in the face.

The problem is, the person who Christian suspects was actually behind the rape is somebody who is powerful and connected. And this person will stop at anything to make sure that young Jamel stays in prison for the crime.

Christian soon finds himself not only fighting the system, but also trying to stay one step ahead of the man who Christian knows was the one who raped the actress.

Because Christian knows that Jamel will not remain in prison for this rich bastard's crime.

And he will risk all, even his life, to make that doesn't happen.

With the lightning pace and twists and turns you've come to expect from a Rachel Sinclair thriller, Wrongful Conviction is a book that you will not want to miss!!!!

Okay Story / Bad Narration

The storyline was interesting; but I felt it could have been further developed. It was written as if someone you knew was just “relaying” a story they heard and “re-describing” the characters, sometimes with a litany of descriptors, e.g., “her high cheek bones, green eyes, full potty lips, perfectly symmetrical features, all set against her olive skin, along with her mane of thick dark hair…”
Geez, there’s something about characterizing a female this way that seems a little unoriginal.

The virtual narrator mispronounced several words which distracted from my following and enjoying the story, e.g., taco is pronounced “tay-ko.” Jamel is pronounced two different ways: “Jay-Mel” and “Jah-Mel.”

Great story, horrible narration

The story was good enough for me to ignore the utterly gyrating AI narration. Horrible narration aside, the story was gripping. I love legal thrillers and this one didn’t disappoint. Think I will physically read the rest in the series though. I can’t with the narration.

Great story!

This was a great listen! I usually stick to true crime but this was believable enough to keep me listening!

Read by AI…AWFUL!!

Being read by AI did the story injustice! The sentences were choppy and there were pauses in the middle of sentences making it hard to follow at times. One of the main characters names was pronounced three different ways by the same character in the same sentence!
I will never again listen to a book read by AI!
Do your authors a favorite and not use AI .

Don’t waste your time!

First- AI is NOT a narrator! This was close to impossible to follow with the AI narration. No emotion, no character voice changes-you can’t distinguish which character is speaking.
Second-because of AI, the storyline got lost.
No real clue of what this book is about.
Couldn’t even finish it.
