The topic of this legal thriller provided considerable potential for a great story. Unfortunately, the opportunity was squandered. It was way, way too preachy and the gratuitous romance was far too sappy. This had the effect of overwhelming what might have been an interesting case. Although the characters were likable enough, they were rather flat and predictable, as was the outcome of the story.
Mark Kamish put forth a strong effort, giving the characters distinctive voices and accents, although they weren’t always consistent and his delivery sometimes bordered on overly dramatic.
Overall, this was a very disappointing listen. More than once, I wanted to skip over some of the overly preachy or romantic sections, but I managed to finish the book. There just wasn’t enough content to this story to allow me to recommend it.
