Christy Award-winning author Randy Singer delivers gripping legal thrillers.

As the Avenger of Blood systematically executes guilty rapists and the lawyers who finagled their freedom, a reporter has visions of this relentless vigilante in action. To her amazement, she soon finds herself in the slammer, accused of being the notorious serial killer. Deep in despair, she retains an attorney who specializes in the insanity plea.

Excellent. h

This was a nail-biting story right to the end. I would recommend any of the author's books.

Surprisingly Captivating

This Randy Singer novel follows a young rape survivor accused of going on a vengeance spree murdering freed rapists, their lawyers, and the children of the same. The book is well-written, well-paced, populated with interesting characters, and gives thoughtful takes on a number of issues (e.g. insanity defenses vs justifiable homicide).
Less fortunately, Singer tends towards excessive dramatics that occasionally had my eyes rolling and the twists at the end are overdone.

As to presentation: Reader Tom Stecheschulte turns in a professional narration with praiseworthy diction, timbre, cadence, and tone - but an annoying (if accurate) series of Virginia accents. The voice-acting is often over-the-top.. particularly among police officers & convicts in a women's prison.

Altogether, 'By Reason of Insanity' merits 7.5 stars out of 10. It was a more than serviceable 'Plus' selection to distract for a couple of quiet afternoons.. likely even worth a Credit.
