The Arraignment (Abridged) Audiobook

" I really like Mr. Martini's books since they are not filled with gratuitous sex and foul language and are well written. The ending is definitely a surprise. "

" I enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book but I found the ending to be quite disappointing. I love a good conspiracy but this was just a disappointment. I'll continue to read this series but this was not one of my favorites. "

" Another Paul Madriani/Henry Hinds novel involving the drive by shooting of another attorney and a trip to Mexico... "

" I found this to be a very good and interesting book. There are times when I just wanted to shout out. Very good book. Paul Madriani is an interesting character. "

" I loved how even though the death of the character was very early in the book, you still got to know him enough before that that you were sad when he died. The plot was intriguing and left me very satisfied. "

" This book was better than the first two I read. No courtroom drama. Not as tedious as 'The Jury' or 'The Attorney'. I probably won't search out any more of his books. "

" Good mystery read on a quiet day off. "

" I did not care for this book. It took me a long time to read it, which set me back on my goal for 2013. It did not catch my interest and I often found myself re-reading pages over and over again because my mind would wonder to other things "

" Not one of my favorites of his, but good enough that I am still going to read the rest of his books as there are only three more to go. "

" The Arraignment by Steve Martini (2003) "

" Had a hard time getting into this one. "

" pretty good novel to read. not much characters, so easily to remember where the story is going. "

" Excellent attorney mystery. Set in and around San Diego. "

" I like Steve Martini, his legal situation novels make for an interesting read. This one has enough legalize to make it authentic mixed with the suspense of a Mexican connection and an interesting twist. He also adds humor to keep it not too serious. Quick read and one most would enjoy. "

" Maybe my favorite Martini book. At the end it kind of seemed he was trying to convince himself that the murder was justified. "

" A pretty good read, but not up to the standards of 'The Judge' by the same author. Good characterization, but the plot is a tad unlikely. "

" Loved it! This book was very full of action and suspense and unexpected plot turns. I would definitely read more Steve Martini just based on this book! "

" The book did had some points where the material, but the ending was great. Martini dud an excellent job of keeping you on your toes throughout and finally let things unravel in the last few pages. I will definitely be picking up some more of the Paul Mandrini series soon. "

" if you like lawyer/courtroom drama, you'll enjoy this. I do like courtroom but this was just a little too slow for me. "

" My husband and I listened to this book on CD while riding in the car. I liked the narrator : Joe Mantegna. A good lawyer/detective story, unfortunately a lot of bad language that could have been left out. "

" I had an idea of the "mystery" was about half way through the book. Martini ends with an epilogue that is too insightful and too perfect without any reference of repercussions to crimes committed by the lawyer Madriani. "

" This was a well written and enjoyable book. Complex story, so much so that I did not catch on to the real villain until the end. Lots of action and strong characters. "

" Great story, good writing, liked the characters. "

" A pretty good read, but not up to the standards of 'The Judge' by the same author. Good characterization, but the plot is a tad unlikely. "

" A little slower than some of Martini's other tomes. I still like the San Diego locale since I know some of the areas he desribes. "

" I like Steve Martini, his legal situation novels make for an interesting read. This one has enough legalize to make it authentic mixed with the suspense of a Mexican connection and an interesting twist. He also adds humor to keep it not too serious. Quick read and one most would enjoy. "

" Maybe my favorite Martini book. At the end it kind of seemed he was trying to convince himself that the murder was justified. "

" Pretty good- better than the average legal crime thriller. It is not so great that I am going to go out & purchase the book to see what I missed (I listened to the abridged audio version), but it was good enough for me to keep an eye out for other books by this author. "

" Had a hard time getting into this one. "

" if you like lawyer/courtroom drama, you'll enjoy this. I do like courtroom but this was just a little too slow for me. "

" Until near the end I had a hard time getting into it. "

" The Paul Madriani novels are delicious. Dry wit, expert lawyering and damn good writing. A speedy tale of drugs and intrigue in Mexico. "He looks at me to see if I am offering any sympathy. That particular bank is closed at the moment". "
