About this listen

 In The 13th Juror, Dismas Hardy, lawyer/investigator, undertakes the defense of Jennifer Witt, accused of murdering her husband and their eight-year-old son as well as her first husband, who had died nine years earlier from an apparent drug overdose. While preparing his case, Hardy learns that both of Jennifer's husbands had physically abused her. But Jennifer refuses to allow a defense that presumes her guilt. She is not guilty, she claims.

Hardy is now driven to seek an alternative truth a jury can believe. As the trial progresses, the complex truth itself begins to change, to bend, to fade in and out of focus as the clock keeps ticking on Jennifer's fate, until there seems only one person left to convince, and she is "the 13th juror" - the judge.

I have listened to a few of the previous titles in Lescroart's Dismiss Hardy series and with each book they just get better and better. It is well Narrated, the characters each given their own unique, individual voice. The story is compelling, and leaves you both sympathetic to the defendant and questioning her motives. With plot twists and shocking revaltions, the story is not only told in the courtroom but tells the tale of a young lawyer trying to battle his conscience with trying to save a woman from the death sentence even though he is not sure of her innocence, and spending time with his new family, his wife having just given birth to a new baby. With a child's death in question it hits close to the Dismiss who has also lost a child which was the cause of the breakdown from his previous marriage. I am now a huge fan of this series and can't wait to buy the next one.
