Julia Valenciano is a young, ambitious Miami prosecutor. Assigned to a hectic trial division with an ornery judge, just getting through the day can be a challenge. When Julia is asked to second chair a case that could very well make or break her career, she doesn't hesitate to jump on board. The defendant: a successful Miami surgeon. The victims: his own wife and small children. The plea: Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity. The perfect father. The perfect husband. Dr. David Marquette seemingly just snapped one night. Or did he? His defense team claims paranoid delusions caused by schizophrenia drove him to slaughter his entire family. But the state suspects that Marquette's insanity defense is being fabricated to disguise murders that were cold-blooded and calculated. And the evidence appears to be mounting that Marquette may be responsible for other unsolved murders around the state as well---murders that bear the frightening signature of a serial killer. It's Julia's first murder trial and her first insanity defense, and the stakes are incredibly high. If convicted, Marquette faces the ultimate penalty---death. If found insane, he could walk free. To bring a killer to justice, Julia will have to journey into the mind of madness herself. For her, the trial of Dr. David Marquette will mean more than just disarming a legal defense; it will take her on a personal journey back into her own past---a past she has struggled for fifteen years to forget. And it will bring her face to face with a future that is so frightening, she's not sure she ever wants to see it.©2007 Jilliane Hoffman (P)2009 Tantor Thrillery

Opinie krytyków

"[A] gripping legal thriller." ( Publishers Weekly)
Wszystkie gwiazdki
Najtrafniejsze
- good, gripping story
- not just another crime story/ thriller
- characters very well painted
- the speaker is great

I personally did not really like the many untied knots throughout the story and at the end though, leaving me with quite some open questions...
But a great audiobook anyways

Good Story with relatable characters

Was hat Ihnen am allerbesten an Plea of Insanity gefallen?

Die Story ist vielseitig. Die Erkrankung des Mörders, Schizophrenie, wird in vielen Aspekten beschrieben und verkommt dadurch nicht zu einem "bloßen Story-Lieferanten". Natürlich hätte man die Love Stories auch weglassen können, aber sie bringen noch ein Tüpfelchen Abwechslung in das ganze, ohne sich dabei in den Vordergrund zu drängen.

Hätten Sie das Hörbuch am liebsten in einem Rutsch durchgehört?

Nein, aber das sehe ich nicht als Mangel. Die Geschichte fesselt durchaus, bietet aber auch gute Stellen für eine Pause, an denen man gut wieder einsteigen kann.

Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

Für mich mit guten, aber nicht perfekten Englisch-Kenntnissen macht die Vorleserin ihren Job sehr gut, lebhaft, ohne dies zu übertreiben. Die (amerikansiche) Aussprache finde ich gut verständlich. Allerdings ist es doch gut gefüllt mit Vokabular (und Abkürzungen) aus dem amerkanischen Gerichts- und Rechtswesen. Am Anfang hilft ein Blick ins (Wörter-) Buch.

Knowing Jillian Hoffmann I was expecting a gripping thriller with a major twist at the end. However, it was quite foreseeable and not as thrilling as hoped

Bit disappointed

An interesting story of a murderer who claimes insanity in order to escape death penalty. The prosecutor is a young woman who had to deal with mental health issues in her family before. Slowly the stories unfold, there are some twists and turns and even some romance (quite well placed, not cheesy). A good read! I will look for other books of this author. I also really liked the speaker. She did a flawless performance.

Really well written and spoken!!
