Representaion Conducive To Books Judge & Jury
Andie DeGrasse, an aspiring actress and single mom, is not your typical juror. Hoping to get dismissed from the pool, she tells the judge that most of her legal knowledge comes from a bit part curling around the stripper's pole in The Sopranos. But she still ends up as juror number 11 in a landmark trial against a notorious mob boss.The judge is terrified of the defendant.
The case quickly becomes the new Trial of the Century. Mafia don Dominic Cavello, known as the Electrician, is linked to hundreds of gruesome, unspeakable crimes. Senior FBI agent Nick Pellisante has been tracking him for years. He knows Cavello's power reaches far beyond the courtroom but the FBI's evidence against the ruthless killer is ironclad. Conviction is sure thing.
So is the jury.
As the jury is about to reach a verdict, the Electrician makes one devastating move that no one could have predicted. The entire nation is reeling, and Andie's world is shattered. For her, the hunt for the Electrician becomes personal, and she and Pellisante come together in an unbreakable bond: they exact justice - at any cost.
The verdict: Run for your life.

A truly amazing and suspenseful book, especially for those with interest in organized crime and/or law. The character's are interesting and the resolution leaves you wanting to go back and read it all again.! This truly is my favorite novel.*** This review contains spoilers ***With Patterson it's either hit or miss. This one is a miss. The story revolves around an FBI agent, a juror, a mafia don on trial and a whole lot of bad writing. I tried to get into the story, but it was neither an interesting courtroom drama (like Grisham's) nor an action packet mystery thriller like some of Harlan Coben's stories. While the FBI agent is desperately trying to see a convicted don, he indirectly becomes the reason for the death of juror number
I listened to the unabridged audio of this book. Give it a few chapters before you give up on it. It starts out slow. I put the CD in and was hooked from the very beginning. I didn't think it started slow, and I listened to the entire thing in just over a day. Some parts of the story were predictable, while others caught me by surprise. It was a fun guessing game to see how many pieces of the plot I could guess correctly. The twists and turns were awesome, and well thought out. The two
My biggest complaint is that the second to last chapter of Judge & Jury had a weird, unnecessary twist to it where two characters behaved very out of character. Its painfully obvious that Patterson and Gross were trying to tie up loose ends and disguise it with contrived badassery, hence the three-star rating.Other than that, Judge & Jury is an okay book. Its the literature version of junk food - quick, easy, and relatively satisfying. Its also nice that Judge & Jury is just a
4.5 oh this was fun, it's been ages since I read a page turning suspense novel, forty years ago i read them all, now I just get them for my husband. We started this as an audio book in the car, it sounded like a play with real gunshots, sirens, music and other sound effects, which would have totally unnerved me if I was driving! I have never read Patterson, but was so thrilled with gross' s the one man I wanted to give this a go. For me, is was a fast paced Saturday matinee kind of feeling, over
James Patterson book written by Andrew Gross.Another decent read straight out of the James Patterson book factory, usual formula, fast paced, short chapters and in this case it works.
Judge and Jury is obsession, greed and revenge. Single mum Andie DeGrasse did not want to be on jury duty and tried everything in her power to get out of it. Nothing work and Andie became a juror. An event happens that rock Andie DeGrasse world and this when Nic Pellisante become involved with Andie. The readers of Judge & Jury will continue to follow Andie and Nic to find out what happens. Also, the readers of Juge & Jury would be surprised with the ending of Judge & Jury.I enjoy
