The 13th Juror Audiobook

" Most suspenseful book I've read in a long while, kept my interest throughout, was very hard to put down. Although the book seemed predictable in parts, unexpected twists show how unpredictable it really is. "

" Not the best Lescroart I've read but still intriguing. "

" This Dismas Hardy novel finds Dismas working in the private sector as a defense attorney. This case finds him acting as Keenan counsel for a battered wife accused of killing her husband and son while his friend and landlord David Freeman handles the initial case. After Freeman loses the trial can Hardy find enough evidence to keep her from being put to death or even enough to have the judge set aside the verdict and free her? Good effort from Lescroart with good courtroom action and investigation. "

" Dismiss Hardy mystery - Jennifer Witt accussed/convicted of murdering her husband and son. She refuses battered wife defense; maintains her innocence; and in twist at end actual murderer, her psychiatrist, is exposed. "

" I don't know about you, but I'm the type of person who has to keep a list of the books that I have read. Otherwise, I ended in a situation like this where I read a book over again. This book was just okay the second there wasn't in new surprises. I discovered that I had read this book before when I reached the halfway point. It was much better the first time. "

" Lescroart's books sometimes take a while to get into but I always enjoy them. "

" I liked this one -- very good for its genre. Pretty good pace; kept my attention. Basic story of woman accused of killing her husband and son, and the lawyers hired to defend her. Some twists and turns along the way. Could have been edited down a bit. "

" Move over John Grisham, you've got competition in my book. I look forward to reading more books about lawyer Dismas Hardy and am delighted to see there's a whole series of them. "

" Another good court room drama--we kept coming up with theories as to "whodunnit?" for the whole book. Stan and I really enjoy this series. "

" I enjoy all of John Lescroart's books especially the Dismas Hardy's Series. The books do follow a similar thread but in a legal/mystery series that is to be expected. "

" A legal thriller in which a housewife is accused of shooting both her young son and doctor husband who is a control freak. "

" This was one of those breathless, can't sleep legal thrillers. Best in show. "

" I had figured out who "did it" within the first 50-60 pages but was still surprised at the catch at the end. For those who like courtroom mystery books, the Dis Hardy books are all pretty solid. "

" Not bad. Contunuatio of the Dismus Hardy books. "

" I was about 1/3 of the way through before I got really interested. I will read him again, though. "

" Lescroart is one of my favourite authors. This was a great book, like everything he writes! "

" Lescroart, John Sandford, and Scott Turow are among my favorite novelists. I have liked every book they have written. "

" It was just ok. Too much irrelevant info makes for a long book. The epilogue was really good, but then it didn't pick up again until about chapter 50. Too many characters were introduced throughout the whole book. "

" I love the Dismus Hardy legal thrillers that John Lescroat writes. I can always tell about where in the series I am by the ages of Dismus' children. It is very easy to put myself in the book as I listen to it while driving to work. "

" first book I've read by John Lescroart - excellent! "

" This is one of my favorites of Lescroarts'. A great mystery told well. And, of course, all the usual characters interacting "

" Another great courtroom drna from John Lescroart. Love Dismas Hardy, and the other cast of characters. I love how deep the author get into the inner lives. Not just a cortroom case. I hope if I ever need a lawyer Disnas is the guy. "
