À propos de cet audio
From best-selling crime novelist (and deputy district attorney) William P. Wood... A killer so savage (and so sly) that the brutal frenzy of his crimes makes an unassailable insanity defense - such is the opponent facing Tony Fraser, a young district attorney willing to risk anything, everything, for a sentence of death. Plotted against by court psychiatrists, tormented by vanishing evidence and fugitive witnesses, his own wife a target, Fraser finds himself checkmated by the accused - until he seizes an opportunity to go beyond the letter of the law.
To experience the final, stunning climax of Rampage is to thrill to the tensions of a high-stakes capital case, to go behind the scenes of our justice system, and to find a dark and terrifying clockwork there.

Serviceable Option For "Free"
William P. Wood offers a well-conceived jurisprudence scenario where a killer tries to establish his innocence by reason of insanity while a driven District Attorney battles for a conviction. The crime investigation and courtroom strategies are intuitive and sound strikingly authentic (Wood - a practicing DA IRL when he wrote this book - clearly knows the system) - but the author gets bogged down in legal minutiae at times. Besides that deficiency, Wood is also preoccupied with Work-Life Balance considerations among the characters - as any hardworking lawyer would be - and becomes too-focussed on pathos (somewhat clumsily trying to *make* his readers feel something, rather than just telling the story and letting it happen organically). The book struck me as overwritten.
As to presentation: Reader John McLain turns in a "satisfactory" narration. His diction, cadence, and tone are creditable, but his baritone timbre and John Wayne-like voice-acting interpretations are ill-suited to the subject matter. Audible Studios Inc. did well in producing a quality recording.. but could have cast it better.
In toto, I give 'Rampage' 6.5 stars out of 10. It was an entertaining way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons.. but spend your Credit on something less emotionally manipulative should it leave the 'Plus' catalog.
[NOTE: There is no mention of the McNaughton Rule - the recognized standard for legal definitions of insanity - in this book. It's a glaringly odd omission]
