I loved this book and having it read by Viola Davis made it even better. I'm a Democrat from Alabama and while I'm not a lawyer, it all rang true. The problems with sewage and rape and vengeful people is familiar. I don't know that Mary would have won but I sure hope Doug Jones does. He's worth googling if you're not familiar with our current politics. Well done!

I loved Davis narration and enjoyed the book

Good story, and Viola Davis just nails the narration

Excellent!

Highly recommend

Absolutely a 5 star book!

If you liked To Kill A Mockingbird and A Time to Kill, you will like this book.

Outstanding!!

Excellent story line. Page turner with narration drawing you in like never before.

Enjoyed this book as a good story which incorporated old outrageous practices against blacks with a current picture of the evolution of life in the Deep South.

Great book and so worthy of your time to listen. Having Viola Davis narrate the book was genius. She did a great job (not surprised).

I really liked the book. The narrator’s voice was a bit too gravelly for me, but overall I liked the book

Viola Davis’ reading held me spell bound.

Nice read/listen. Viola Davis is wonderful.

One of those books that you want to know what happens but you don’t want to listen to all the drama to get there?

enfin un peu de justice!

Great story and timely topic . Viola narration makes it even more compelling and inspiring!

Great narration by Viola Davis.

I thought it was a lovely story about the times we are in with states going backwards. It was written very well, and read exceptionally well. Heart catching story

Loved the book and the story is compelling. Viola Davis nails the narration, making the story that more enjoyable.

I completely loved everything about this book! My only complaint was that it was over too soon!

so awesome enjoyed listening to violates voice

Well good listen!

Excellent! I enjoyed the story and Ms. Davis was a great Narrator! Felt as if I was a part of this story although it was set in Alabama, it could have happened in Texas, Mississippi or any of the southern states. Great work Mr. Patterson Excellent!

I didn’t want this one to end! Such a powerful story, especially given the latest issues surrounding abortion rights, politics, race, justice, and the pressure of divided communities. It doesn’t shy away from the difficult conversations, which made it feel so timely and important right now. Viola Davis brings so much life to the story! You could feel her emotional insight the whole way through. As soon as I finished, I looked to see what else she’s narrated that I haven’t already listened to! I really hope this one is made into a movie, with Viola, of course!

The book was great! I love Viola Davis’ voice! Well written and suspenseful! I hope they make it into a movie.

This is a very provocative story. Perfect for our times. It is my favorite read in a long time

Loved the plot. Narration style fit perfectly with the storyline!

If Viola Davis were a judge she would be Judge Mary Stone. Judge Mary Stone is passionate, driven, fearless but also human. Couldn't stop listening.... captivating story and absolutely perfect narration. Viola Davis nailed this one in both the writing and the narration.

This was an outstanding story and Viola was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Loved the narration y Viola Davis ! I could hear the desperation and anguish in her voice. The story was compelling and multi layered. Well done authors!

Excellent book. Really enjoyed I! Highly recommend.

Good story great read by Viola Davis

Loved this book! Such a controversial situation is exposed and portrayed, as is the divisions of our society.

Magnificent

I loved Davis narration and enjoyed the book

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long while!! The characters were well developed and true in nature. The narration was amazing and added so much to the story! I would love to meet Judge Mary Stone…I rarely feel such a genuine connection to a character. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved the book and Viola Davis's narration.

Excellent story

Good Read

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook narrated by Viola Davis. The storyline kept me wanting for more.

This book was excellent! I loved Viola reading and pictured her as the character the whole time. I’m sure she will star in a movie made from this

I almost turned it off upon discovering it was going to be a left vs right political hot button issue book. I don’t want to hear about anyone’s political opinions, I want to be entertained. Wow, am I glad I didn’t! Viola Davis is magic as the narrator. The characters are engaging and relatable, the story, while political in nature is presented in a way to make you see things from both prospectives. I sincerely hope Patterson/Davis continue their partnership. The world needs more Judge Stone.

So good

Perfect narration and a story that exceeded expectations!

Awesome story

Couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next. Had lots of surprise secrets revealed.

Best book My favorite of all books I’ve read Viola took it to another level. Congratulations on a fabulous book!!

What a stellar debut for Viola Davis. I hope she writes another book. It was very engaging and the 11 hours went quickly. I’d highly recommend.

Bad language- couldn’t stay engaged because of it.
