À propos de cet audio
“Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci.” – People
The young attorneys who clerk for Supreme Court justices wield extraordinary power—privy to sensitive material that could prove disastrous in unscrupulous hands, making decisions that could change lives… or destroy them. They are…
THE TENTH JUSTICE
Landing a prestigious position as a Supreme Court clerk fresh out of Yale Law, Ben Addison is on the ultrafast track to success—until he inadvertently shares a classified secret with the wrong listener. And now the anonymous blackmailer who made a killing with Ben’s information is demanding more. Guilty of a criminal act, his golden future suddenly in jeopardy, Ben turns for help to his roommates—three close friends from childhood, each strategically placed near the seats of Washington power—and to his beautiful, whip-smart fellow clerk, Lisa Schulman. But trust is a dangerous commodity in the nation’s capital. And when lives, careers, and power are at stake, loyalties can shatter like glass… and betrayals can be lethal.

Tough slog
I've listened to several hundred audible books. I've read Brad Meltzer before, and while he's not one of my ''go to' fave authors, I don't recall being disappointed with his stories before. With the memorable exception of The Tenth Justice. Thank goodness for Scott Brick's narration, or I wouldn't have made it this far (1/3 of the way through)..it's questionable whether I'll make it through the next 5 hours of it. The storyline is implausible to say the very least, but hey, I've been listeing to a bunch of totally implausible androids in space stories with delight, so I can live with implausible. But this book is slow going. Excruciatingly slow. What bugs me the most though is the character development - an interesting group of characters with lots of potential, but the protagoist is thoroughly unlikeable and unrelable from the start, and the more antagonistic he gets (and that's not the only "A" word to describe him), the more dislikeable he becomes. Bottom line, I don't care what happens to him, but I"m kinda interested in how the rest of the characters make out, so I 'might' make it to the end of the book. However, even if everything works out for the protagonist (and by rights it shouldn't), you're not going to like him any better either way. Without a narrator as good as Scott Brick, I would have garbaged this book.
