Publisher's Summary:

The Court appoints attorney Peter Sharp to defend a man accused of capital murder, but there are just a few things that might make this defense a little more difficult than others, because the client's act of committing the crime was captured on security cameras, he freely confessed to the crime, he wants to plead guilty at his arraignment, and he refuses to talk to Peter Sharp, the attorney whose appointment he agreed to...but aside from those minor problems, it's just another criminal defense case that forces Sharp into an impossible predicament....

It seems to me that this should be called "Suzi Msyteries"

I can't say I didn't like the books (2 so far) but there seems to be a redundancy? I am wondering no matter what "Peter Sharp" does, Suzi will solve the case! I'm hesitant to pay for or even read any others. The "cutesy" juvenile teen and her Saint Bernard are a bit much. Also, her demeanor with Peter, considering her intelligence, rings false to me. His capitulation also comes off as phony.

Sorry about this because I do love legal mysteries.

By Reason of Sanity (Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries) by Gene Grossman

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-02-17

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Legal Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

The new series introducing Dan Grant - the lawyer you want in your corner.

When defence lawyer Dan Grant inherits a murder case just weeks away from trial, he's just expected to babysit it and take his fee. But Dan's not that kind of lawyer. If he takes on a case, then he investigates it his way - wherever the evidence takes him.

Investigator Jayne Brett is Dan's investigator and a woman with a terrible secret in her past - one that still haunts her today. Needing the money, she takes on the task of investigating the case that Dan's inherited. But has she taken on more than she can handle?

The case: Mary Kendricks was a pretty, smart 24-year-old teacher. Now Mary Kendricks is dead, and Robert Carter is in the dock, accused of her brutal murder. But as Dan and Jayne investigate, they discover that perhaps there is more to this case than meets the eye - but in order to do their jobs, they need to push the limits of the system, even if it means putting themselves in danger....

A gripping listen! Loved it!

I now off to search for more books by Neil White. The plot gripped me from the very beginning but I don't want to ruin it by telling all that happened. I hate spoilers! I will say that it's not just another DCI thriller. Instead, Dan Grant, the main character is a defence lawyer and this makes for a very different type of story, told from a different perspective. Loved it!

Jonathan Keeble really brought the story to life. I'd love to listen to more of his audiobook performances - he has gone up to my number one choice of narrators. He definitely needs to be kept on to read the next Dan Grant novel... I am obviously hoping we won't be waiting long for Dan's next case!

Brilliant story excellently narrated.

Gripping to the end. Hope there are more to follow. definitely a follower now. great.

Unrelentingly Northern

Story was fine, but even though I am northern myself the narration made every character unrelentingly northern which really grated by the end!

Good book but the narrator is annoying

The narrator is a heavy breather it's unbearable you can hear every breath. Very disappointing

Publisher's Summary:

Dolores is a grade school teacher married to Lawrence, a handsome, high school music teacher. She settled into the role of wife and mother, creating the picture perfect life in a small, Southern California town where everyone knows everyone else. Her world is shattered when Lawrence is accused of molesting his students. Dolores and her children become collateral damage as he is tried as a sex offender.

In order to assure a fair trial, the judge orders that she not talk to anyone about the trial. With no one to talk to, she struggles with conflicting emotions; she wants to believe her husband but finds that she has unsettling doubts. She knows that he is a narcissistic man who loves the accolades and admiration of his young (especially female) students, but would he go so far as to seduce his teenage charges?

The author takes us on an emotional whiplash of a ride as we feel Dolores anguish and wonder whether Lawrence is guilty of being a sex offender or is he the victim of malicious teenage gossip.

NOT IMPRESSED

Would you try another book from Edward A Dreyfus and/or Daniela Acitelli?

NO, THE READING WAS SLOW. BESIDES THE ADULT LIKE CONTENT, THE WRITING AND READING SOUNDED LIKE A CHILD'S BOOK

How could the performance have been better?

THE VOICE CHANGE FOR THE CHARACTERS WAS HORRIBLE. THE VOICE FOR THE WIFE WAS EXCESSIVELY WINY.

Do you think Gag Rule needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Title: An Element of Peril

Subtitle: Peter Sharp Legal Mystery, Book 10

Author: Gene Grossman

Narrator: Gene Grossman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-25-17

Publisher: Magic Lamp Productions

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Legal Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

In An Element of Peril, the 10th Peter Sharp legal mystery, Peter faces a unique triple task: First, he must defend a domestic servant who has been charged with the chainsaw-killing of her boss; second, if he can get the servant acquitted, he must then defend the insurance company from being forced to pay a five-million-dollar life insurance policy on the boss's life by proving that she was not murdered and is still alive; and third, he must discover how the alleged corpse of the servant's boss disappeared - and if murder was faked, who planned it - and where the alive missing victim is.

And somewhere behind the tangled mess of a downward-spiraling celebrity starlet, neighbor, a battling married couple of servants, a missing crooked currency trader and a disappearing corpse, attorney Peter Sharp and his legal ward Suzi must find where the truth lies...and what, if any, a bottle of booze has to do with anything - or everything.

While the murder case against Peter's client's trial nears, Peter, Suzi, and the entire staff of the district attorney's office has failed to come up with any workable solution that can save Peter from certain defeat and humiliation in court, and attorney Peter Sharp isn't alone as the clock ticks down to his defeat, because you're guaranteed to be sitting on the edge of your chair during the courtroom drama that takes place during the last few minutes of the trial, that's so exhilarating, when the most important person in the courtroom suddenly has trouble breathing.

Title: Two Perfect Crimes

Subtitle: Suzi B. Mystery, Book 3

Author: Gene Grossman

Narrator: B.J. Harrison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-25-17

Publisher: Magic Lamp Productions

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Legal Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

There's one attorney that rubs Peter and Suzi the wrong way most: Mister Morris Arthur, the most devious opponent they've ever faced in court, and one that they feel has been complicit in actions from murder to kidnapping - and getting away with it each time.

But this time he attempts what attorney Peter Sharp, his young legal ward Suzi, and even Peter's bitter ex-wife Myra feel is the worst offense: getting one of their small group of close associates in trouble with the law.

They draw their line in the sand, and as far apart as Peter and his ex-wife who is now the county's top prosecutor have become, they decide to join forces to put an end to this rogue lawyer's despicable behavior both inside and outside the courtroom.

His actions have gone unpunished for previous crimes, and he is now on the verge of succeeding in trying again in two other crimes, so it's unanimous: he must be stopped.

The only way they can succeed in stopping Morris Arthur is by tricking him and his clever attorney into painting themselves into a corner in trial, a position from which there is no favorable way out, and their success or failure may depend on a mistake made by Suzi while having a telephone conversation with the person soon to be the one that's framed.

You will enjoy the give-and-take dialogue and legal maneuvering of district attorney Myra Scot Sharp and Morris Arthur's attorney during a civil trial that Myra hopes will result in forcing Arthur to admit his committing of two recent crimes that he is framing someone else for, especially when the surprise witness of the century is called to the stand, a person whose appearance even shocks Peter.

If you enjoy shows like Law & Order you'll surely appreciate this book, especially because unlike the TV show, it hasn't been "ripped from the headlines". It's been crafted by a real trial attorney.

The girl is found beside the East River, strangled. She's in her late 20s - so why was she carrying a fake ID? The case should have nothing to do with Reuben Frost, retired Wall Street lawyer, but Frost has never been known to mind his own business. Not to mention, his wife, Cynthia, has been slowed down by arthritis, and his social calendar is barren for the first time in decades. It's the perfect time to find a murderer. The victim is Marina Courtland, and working alongside his dear friend Luis Bautista, the sharpest detective in the NYPD, Frost digs into Marina's past. But what he discovers is a web of plagiarism, infidelity, and emails that will put him face to face with Marina's killer.

A Billionaire, Murder, Intrigue, Deception and just plain moral decay all come together

This was a fun story to read. A retired lawyer happens to get involved in helping with a murder investigation when a friend of his is assigned a case for a "Jane Doe" who turns out to be the daughter of one of his former clients. The client is a billionaire a couple of times over and this is his only daughter whom he adored. Who killed her and why? That is the question.

Reuben Frost, the lawyer, gets involved and starts to uncover some startling facts. The girl was using a false name when searching for love on an Internet dating sight. But the guy she attracted happened to also be using a false name. Both of them did not want their true identities known at first because they didn't want gold diggers trying to get hooked up with them.

But what went wrong? Why did this young woman die? Oh, and then a second murder happens. One of the young associates at the law firm that Rebuen is retired from turns up dead. What happened to him? It looks like a home invasion gone wrong, but was it? But with one murder to solve already it doesn't seem like Reuben can get involved in a second murder.

The crimes are very realistic for today's culture. The issues are relevant to our new social media onslaught of dating sights and the dangers that could await someone who is using them.

What will the motive for the murder turn out to be? That is the question that plagues Reuben and his detective friend throughout the story. But their methods are solid and the leads give them just enough information to allow them to solve the murder.

While it seems a straight forward story, there are some things that will surprise you and thus make you question who, what, why, etc.

Enjoy!

Murder Is The Solution

Murder.com, featuring protagonist Reuben Frost, is a compelling mystery that involves retired lawyer Frost in the investigation of the death of the daughter of a billionaire client of his old law firm. Frost finds himself working with his good friend, Detective Luis Bautista of the NYPD. As they dig into the girl's background, we find a web of family relations, plagiarism, infidelity, telling e-mails, Internet dating sites and more. We also get a birds eye view of the legal world, as well as that of the publishing world. And we see how a second murder, that does not seem connected to the first, really is.

I thoroughly enjoyed the perspective of Frost as a seventy-something retiree who still has an office with his old firm, and who reflects not only on his firm and how it has changed, but on the world around him.

Title: ...Until Proven Innocent

Subtitle: A Peter Sharp Legal Mystery

Author: Gene Grossman

Narrator: Gene Grossman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-24-16

Publisher: Magic Lamp Productions

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Legal Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

It's tough enough defending innocent people, but attorney Peter Sharp's new client has a reputation for disliking any person of color, and is then arrested with a smoking gun, standing over the body of a dead black man he had recently been seen arguing with.

To make matters even worse, the district attorney (Peter's bitter ex-wife) has evidence proving that the defendant's gun is in fact the murder weapon, and that both the accused and deceased were in the building in which the crime took place alone when the shooting was done.

Peter has no defense for his client, and gets that sinking feeling every lawyer gets when forced to start a trial without having anything to say on behalf of a client who refuses to accept any plea bargain.

Suspense builds as the trial date approaches because if Peter's team doesn't come up with some facts for a viable defense, then his ex-wife's dream will finally come true and she will convict his client, humiliate her ex-husband in court, and make sure to gloat about it in the after-trial press conferences.

Peter's only hope is that his team will save him before it's time for him to put the defense's case in this high-profile trial in which a police sergeant is being charged with first-degree murder.

You'll be sitting on the edge of your seat until a surprise witness enters the court-room, and demands to be heard - to give testimony that nobody expected, and that affects the outcome of this entire case.

Fun Read

It was okay not a lot of depth to the story. Good if you like to do a bit of light reading.

Fun read that nicely ties together all loose ends in the climax

Until Proven Innocent, Peter Sharp Legal Mystery #5, ISBN: 1882629515, Magic Lamp Press, Paperback 276 pages by Gene Grossman.

This novel follows the activities of lawyer Peter Sharp, his ex-wife and District Attorney Myra Scot, his child ward, Suzi Braunstein, a computer wizard daughter of his deceased former partner, and her `assistant', a huge St Bernard called Bernie.

The plot follows his actions in preparing a defense for "Tony the Cop" , a racist "Dirty Harry" type character and Peter's neighbor in the boat marina where he lives. The problem is magnified by the fact that Tony's recently-fired S&W .50 caliber revolver is in his possession with an empty shell in the chamber when the police are called to the scene. The crime scene is a building empty of all but the victim and Tony and the time is late evening.

Along with Peter's attempts at developing a defense, are a series of contacts with others for rather diverse reasons. There are the producer of a motion picture and his associates who require a consultant, Olive, a former telephone sex operator who is being blackmailed, another grossly obese member of the same group with different problems, Stuart Schwartzman, an entrepreneurial friend, Evelyn, and her daughter who is a young starlet in the film production and assorted others.

The author has woven these various individuals and their activities into a well-tailored plot that involves not only the primary theme of a defense for Tony, but implicates a White Supremacy Group and a DVD pirating operation as well. All of the various stories are wrapped-up in a most interesting climax that very nicely ties together all loose ends in a most admiral fashion.
