About this listen

A doctor in love with his patient's wife...
A fatal mistake during surgery...
Accident? Malpractice? Or murder?

Defending a surgeon in a malpractice case, Jake Lassiter begins to suspect that his client is innocent of negligence...but guilty of murder. Add a sexy widow, a deadly drug, and a grave robbery to the stew, and you have Miami's trial of the century.

"Move over Scott Turow. To Speak for the Dead is courtroom drama at its very best." - Larry King, USA Today

I think I've found my new series. Listened to this book in one stretch just could not put it down. Luke Daniels is of course an amazing narrator and the reason I stumbled on this gem. Can't wait to listen to the next in series.

What a brilliant surprise!

I've loved listening to Luke Daniels narrated books (especially in the legal thrillers genres). He does really good character voices and when he's not in character, his voice is quite soothing somehow. I've listened to his Jason Kolarich series and was a huge fan since. So I did not pass up the opportunity when I came across this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will continue with the series. I seriously thought I got the who done it - just needed to know the why. And I was wrong and that's what I like about reading legal/crime thrillers - not being able to predict who the killer is.
