THE FIRST COUNSEL

by Brad Meltzer | Read by D.B. Sweeney

Mystery & Suspense • 6 hrs. • Abridged • © 2001

D.B. Sweeney gives an excellent performance, creating a distinctive voice for each of the characters. Unfortunately, the story loses its luster and concludes unbelievably. While readers of legal thrillers expect the unusual, this ending goes too far and even top narration can't improve it. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 01]
