The Laws of Our Fathers

By: Scott Turow

Narrated by: Dion Graham, Kevin T. Collins, Orlagh Cassidy, James Snyder

In Kindle County, a woman is killed in an apparent random drive-by shooting. The woman turns out to be the ex-wife of a prominent state senator and an old acquaintance of Judge Sonia Klonsky, on whose desk the case lands. As the pursuit of justice takes bizarre and unusual turns, Judge Klonsky is brought face-to-face with a host of extraordinary personalities and formidable enemies bent on her destruction.

Complicated read as it jumps time frames

Too many forward and back chapters. Hard to follow unless isolated. Performed by a variety of readers.

Great plot. AWFUL sound interludes.

Love the author, love the story, but at the beginning and end of every chapter is this suspenseful transition music that's just awful and it totally disrupts the flow of the story. But... Still a good listen if you can get past that.

The times rang true; clever; but...

too much philosophizing by the main characters. Story line was not predictable. Brought back memories of the times; rang true. But when listening, esp on the cheap device I have, I can't speed up or skip, and the Sunny/Seth angst near the end just seemed to drag on and on.

excellent

One of the best audio books I have listened to.
The characterizations were spot on, and as always, Scott Turows language is moving .

Wonderful but annoying music

The story is excellent and having several performers really helped to make it clear who was talking. I highly recommend the book but be prepared to be annoyed by the ridiculous music between the chapters
