Shadow of Power: A Paul Madriani Novel Audiobook

" It's a little slower and not really what I remember his books to be. Maybe it's been awhile since I read him but it's not blowing up my skirt. "

" Not the best Steve Martini book but I still think that reliably his lawyer type books are better than most John Grisham. "

" Very good! I forgot how much I enjoyed this series. I went to Powell's and bought the whole series as used pbooks. Screw Apple and the agency model. Publishers want to get greedy? They won't get any of my money! "

" Terry Scarborough, the author of Perpetual Slaves, is found murdered in his hotel suite. A worker at the hotel is charged because his fingerprints are discovered at the scene. He had been delivering an order of food. Paul Madriani is defending him and must find the J-letter (for Jefferson, former president) which is believed to be part of the answer to who really killed Terry. "

" I read 200 pages and I still wasn't getting it, I guess it's lawyer type book with the long drawn out trail which was boring, to me at least. Sad since I read that many pages I should finish but I had taken over two weeks to get there. "

" Not one of Martini's better ones. "

" a 3.5 - very riveting, but the ending, while twisting & unexpected, was somehow anticlimactic "

" Good story. Sentence structure was awkward, which at times made it difficult to read. Didn't flow smoothly. I stuck with it due to the story line. "

" good court room and legal analysis of complicated case "

" I do love a good mystery/thriller once in a while, and the No Fear Book Club "forced" me to find one for our next gathering. Martini continues the Paul Madriani series with this one about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the Supreme Court. WHEW! "

" I think I am done with Steve Martini. His books are predictable and boring. I gave them a good try though. "

" This is an excellent mystery, one of the latest in an excellent series of books featuring trial lawyer Paul Madriani. I urge to read this or any of the series. "

" A trial story featuring the author's main character, Paul Madriani. A better than average story but clogged at times with too much of the minutiae and details of which lawyers are so fond. Stripped of about half of this, the book would be an engrossing story throughout, instead of only occasionally. "

" A good read (a four from a fun book perspective, not classic literature), switches gears and pace a few times, liked the ending, and the strategic chess play of the attorneys on both sides. "

" More like 4 1/2 stars. I really enjoyed his writing, will have to try some more. "

" My first read of this author. He writes tightly, no over abundance of description, just what you need to get the picture. It was a fairly quick read, it keeps your attention. Storyline was intersting, but became predictable about 3/4 of the way. Would read his books in the future. "

" not stellar but a good read! "

" Not a bad book, but by the time I got to the end I was kinda lost. I had forgotten what had happened to a certain character to make him do what he did, and after I went back and reread parts of it, it still didn't make a whole lot of sense. But maybe that was just me. "

" This book disappointed me. I didn't like the premise of the book and therefore, didn't really like the book. "

" The book peaked my interest toward the end. "

" An author is killed, a man is accused of the crime, and some dudes go to trial over it. I really enjoyed this book more than the Lincoln Lawyer, which I also just finished. But unfortunately reading back to back courtroom dramas made this fall a little flat. "

" a paul madriani mystery and a good read "

" With most suspense/thriller novels, very slow in the beginning. Hard to put down once you want to know the conclusion to the plot. Average. "

" Not bad, but a disappointing ending. "

" After reading "World Without End" I needed something light and I enjoy Steve Martini books. It was an easy, minimal-thinking book. "

" I don't usually read murder mysteries but I had heard about Steve Martini's novels and thought I'd try one. I found it interesting and learned some things about our Constitution that were interesting too. "

" I don't usually read murder mysteries but I had heard about Steve Martini's novels and thought I'd try one. I found it interesting and learned some things about our Constitution that were interesting too. "

" Martini's books become more improbable as time goes by. "

" Disappointing. I have read (listened to) others in this serious and they have been great, but this one was lacking. I think I only stuck it out because the reader, George Guidall is quite pleasurable to listen to and I wanted to see how it ended. "

" I like his books, but they are pretty far-fetched. "

" Good enough for an airplane novel. "

" It might be just me, but it was a bit hard to follow. It was ok, but not the great page-turner I expected. "

" Pretty good murder mystery with Paul Madriani defending a tough case "

" My first read of this author. He writes tightly, no over abundance of description, just what you need to get the picture. It was a fairly quick read, it keeps your attention. Storyline was intersting, but became predictable about 3/4 of the way. Would read his books in the future. "

" This story just seemed too mechanical for me. I enjoyed previous books featuring Paul Madriani but this one felt too procedural. "

" Honestly don't remember a ton of this one - somewhat typical Martini story of intrigue and suspense, but seemed to rally around a pretty baseless core. He's written much better books. "

" I'm really struggling reading this, and I normally like his books. It never grabbed me and held on like most of his books have. It will be one of those that is easily forgotten. "

" The story part was good, but I hate that Steve Martini writes in first person present tense for the majority of the book. It was very distracting to me. "
