The Jury audiobook

A good courtroom drama that is a little choppy because, seemingly, every new chapter introduces a new witness or a new aspect to the case. Research scientist is accused of murdering his assistant and is not very forthcoming to his lawyers. I believe the title refers to the fact that Madriani acts as the jury towards his troubled friend at the surprise ending.

The Jury by Steve Martini.“The Jury,” a legal thriller, was the first novel I’ve read by Steve Martini, and I am planning to read more of his works. 😍.It was oddly titled The Jury despite the fact that it is not about the jury at all - they are barely mentioned). Like John Grisham, Martini needs to work on his "titles." 😂🙊 Regardless, this book is a sharp, tight legal thriller that has a neat little twist in the end. ⚖️ I loved it! ❤️

Solid legal thriller I know from my days in Bellingham Washington.

Surprise Ending to this bookI was surprised by the twists. Paul Madriani is defending a brilliant Medical researcher in charges he murdered a young PhD working under him. The secrets his client are keeping him and his superior attitude make it hard to like him. The legal maneuvering keeps you engaged and guessing to the end.

Classic "who done it". Will leave you guessing right until the end. I wondered why he titled the book, The Jury as there's very little interaction or story regarding the jury but more about the life and times of a defense attorney in a very high profile case. That aside, I really enjoyed it. Definitely gave me a an appetite for some more mystery...

One of an apparent series of novels featuring lawyer Paul Madriani finds him defending a research physician arrested for killing a coworker who apparently stole some important papers from him. Saga also twines around a sick child and her family and their relation to the accused. That's only the beginning.

Steve Martini’s Paul Madriani Series are fast paced legal thrillers with well crafted plots which will have you guessing until the end. Attorney Paul Madriani just seems to attract clients who draw him into mysterious situations that in turn draw Madriani into unraveling the threads to help his clients.

Another Martini masterpiece Steve Martini delivers yet another skillfully crafted legal work of art, keeping the suspense tight and the villain unknown until the end. Martini never disappoints.

This is my second Steve Martini book - I didn’t want to put it down! Great storyline, great characters. I don’t understand why he called it The Jury, though. Maybe that was the greatest twist of the book? I highly recommend this book. Awesome read!

Attorney Paul Madriani and his colleague Harry Hinds are defending the head of a research program accused of murdering a young researcher in his department. The case is not going well. The defendant does not seem to grasp the seriousness of the evidence against him.

Lawyer Paul Madriani is called upon to defend a brilliant research physician, Dr. David Crone, who just may be guilty. Crone, a respected medical researcher in mapping the human genome and some see a racial overtone in his work. He is charged with the murder of his assistant, twenty-six-year-old Kalista Jordan, an African-American research physician whose strangled and dismembered body washed up on a beach in San Diego Bay.Several motives suggest Crone as a suspect. Forensic evidence links her murder with material in Crone’s garage. Did he catch her trying to sabotage his research because he previously had conducted controversial studies about the intellectual capacities of the different races. Kalista had recently ended their affair, and may have been deserting him professionally as well, moving on to a rival genetic research facility.See more on this book and quotes from it at https://connectedeventsmatter.com/blo...The main witness who can shed light on motive is found dead the day before he is scheduled to testify leaving an incriminating note behind, Crone’s innocence seems confirmed – until Madriani hits upon a potentially damning loose end.”Author Steve Martini again proves he is the master of the courtroom and this well crafted book.

Another good one. Something to comment on, however, is the fact that sometimes the defendent, who is truly not guilty, gets off, and the guilty party while not actually getting caught by the authorities, gets his/her comeuppance. And the attorney has done his job.

this is the first book I've read by Steve Martini, I know, I know, I'm very late to the party. I don't know how I missed this well written court drama. The Jury won't be my last read by Mr. Martini. If you were like me and haven't 'discovered' his thrillers, now is the time.

A real page turner. Plenty of intrigue with twists and turns throughout. Wasn't sure how the Professor who was charged with murder was going to get off until almost the end. Almost had not figured out who was the murderer. Highly recommend this book.

Great plot, kept me guessing til the end. However the title has nothing to do with the book as “the jury” was hardly involved in the storyline. I guess they just needed a title that conveyed a courtroom drama….

Lots of courtroom drama but plenty of twists before we figure out The Jury ! I liked this book a lot

Excellent as always
