About this listen

‘’We the Jury has what most legal thrillers lack—total authenticity, which is spellbinding.'’ —James Patterson

On the day before his twenty-first wedding anniversary, David Sullinger buried an ax in his wife’s skull. Now, eight jurors must retire to the deliberation room and decide whether David committed premeditated murder—or whether he was a battered spouse who killed his wife in self-defense.

Told from the perspective of over a dozen participants in a murder trial, We, the Jury examines how public perception can mask the ghastliest nightmares. As the jurors stagger toward a verdict, they must sift through contradictory testimony from the Sullingers’ children, who disagree on which parent was Satan; sort out conflicting allegations of severe physical abuse, adultery, and incest; and overcome personal animosities and biases that threaten a fair and just verdict. Ultimately, the central figures in We, the Jury must navigate the blurred boundaries between bias and objectivity, fiction and truth.

I am a lawyer, and I have to say this book was intriguing! I loved the narrative from so many perspectives. Unlike others, I do not think this story lacks a conclusion (although I would like to know the fate of Judge Quinn-Gilbert)

I will sorely miss the vibrant characters on this jury duty of humanity and psychology.

Heartfelt performance of a thought-provoking work

If you enjoy hearing from every single point of view during a trial then this could be for you. Driving while listening to this almost put me to sleep when listening to some of the dry point of views like the court reporter.

Struggled to listen

A story with a narrative flow that is endlessly and repeatedly interrupted by digressions into the petty first-person ruminations of its many, many cardboard characters. 'We, the Jury' might work better as an amateur theater production with no budgetary concerns about the 20 or so voices required to produce it. Money concerns may have contributed to this audio books producer / director's apparent slapdash approach to the story's editing and the actors' unconvincing voice characterizations and eclectic pronunciations. The actor portraying the deaf retired school teacher sounds as though she acquired her old-lady voice chops listening to 1930s radio. Annoying in an audiobook were the repeated character self-introductions, particularly that of the "certified shorthand reporter" who included the long court document header in legalese each time she contributed. Blame the author for the generally odd and sometimes out-of-character internal monologues that sound as though they might have all come from from the same person. Glad this one was on sale.

I didn’t enjoy this story at all. I felt like I was just listening to the mundane stories/personalities of various everyday people who happened to be part of a jury. I didn’t find it at all suspenseful, or feel any investment in whether the character David was found guilty or not guilty. If I had been reading it as a paperback, I wouldn’t have bothered to finish it.

Disjointed and not engaging
