In Jury of One, Shelly Trotter, an able and determined lawyer and a children's rights advocate, is thrust into a world in which she's completely unschooled - the criminal court. Her client is a seventeen-year-old accused of killing a policeman, and she begins to suspect that he may have been involved in an undercover operation to entrap dirty cops, though his role in the scheme remains unclear. Was he the target or the bait - and what does the prosecution really have against him?

Then comes the shocker: Shelly fears that she has a connection to this boy, something she has kept secret for years, knowledge that she has hidden from her family and friends for most of her adult life. And as the evidence against the boy mounts, she finds that nothing - not legal ethics, not a statewide political campaign that could swing in the balance - will stop her from keeping him off death row. For with this client, she is truly a jury of one.

I really enjoyed this book especially when it got into the court scene.
There was some very interesting twists an exciting turns throughout the story

Excellent court scene and thinking on the fly

I've read/listen to many books by David Ellis and this is one of my favorites. I was caught up immediately and could stop listening. I didn't think I would like the narration by a woman but Sandra Burr did an excellent job. Good story Good performance.

One of David Ellis' best.

First, the narrator. Such an irritating voice! Marked on my list so I don’t pick her again. Next, the story line. It wasn’t great BUT I didn’t see the ending coming so I was generous with a 3. The characters were not well thought out, not natural, and not believable. As I said … a generous 3. I got this because I like the author (check out “The best lies” and “Look closer”) and I wanted to read one of his earlier works. I can see glimpses of what David Ellis would one day become in this book, but he wasn’t yet there.

Just meh

Don't bother with this book. I only got through the first 25 minutes before giving up, largely because of the narrator.

Bad narration
