The Jury Master David Sloane Book 1 eBook Robert Dugoni
Like some other readers who've posted reviews of Robert Dugoni's books, I found him almost accidentally: Amazon offered the first of his Tracy Crosswhite series for free, and I was immediately hooked: I finished all of those (and pre-ordered the next one, due this September), then turned to the David Sloane books. I've now finished all of those, damn it. I spent 30 years lawyering, and I suppose that's part of the appeal of this series: Dugoni does a fine job accurately depicting the atmosphere of court rooms, good, and bad, judges, prosecutors and lawyers. But really, the true appeal here is his accurately depicting our human condition. I've lost a child, I've had troubled relationships with my children, all healed over time, thank God, and in general, I've experienced much of what Dugoni puts his characters through, and, just like his courtroom sketches, he nails it all.Your results may differ of course, but for me, I find these books to provide gripping plot lines, excellent writing, and a chance to emotionally connect with his characters, and even a few new perspectives that provide solace over some of the losses I've experienced over the decades. These are wise books, and they're fun as hell to read.

The Jury Master David Sloane Book 1 eBook Robert Dugoni Reviews
This book takes you from the east coast to the west coast, introducing new characters who seem to have no connection. However, each connection is a compelling story which keeps you reading. Literally all the loose ends don't come together until the end although they do start to merge which, again, keeps you reading. I only gave it four stars instead of five because of the difficulty in keeping the characters straight and yet this writing style is also what keeps you reading. I have only just discovered this writer and I will be reading more of his books.
I enjoyed meeting David Sloan. I have to confess I've read these books out of order so I already had a familiarity with him. But the later books did not strike me as entirely well rounded as the first. Dugoni tends to suck me in and I have a hard time putting his books down. He is the type of author I can definitely binge read.
I don't know why I had not heard of this author before now. I was recommended to another of his books with unlimited and now I'm hooked! I started at the beginning with this one and now on the fourth in the series.
Great stories and people you can care about. He also has a unique way of describing things that I really enjoy.
The author has created a compelling protagonist with David Sloane, and I enjoyed this book. The writing was good and the story moved along at a nice pace.
What I didn't like was that the author would move back and forth between scenes too often and too abruptly. The reader would just be getting into one scene, and all of a sudden we would have to adjust our thinking. I think Dugoni did this to create a sense of ending each chapter with a cliffhanger, but he didn't pull it off. It was disruptive rather than effective. He would also start each new chapter out of nowhere, and so the reader would be lost as to time and place and who for about a paragraph. Not sure what Dugoni was trying to accomplish with this technique, but it was a fail.
Even so, I would probably try this author again if he wrote true courtroom dramas. THE JURY MASTER, despite its title, was not--and, therefore, was a disappointment to this reader. This book was an espionage thriller, with little to no time spent in the courtroom or dealing with legal matters. If you like that kind of book, you'll enjoy this, but anyone expecting to delve into a courtroom drama will feel as led astray as I was.
Really intriguing. I was a bit hesitant as I prefer more of an investigation, rather than trial lawyer novel, but with David Sloane's character and his past, and then a persistent detective (nicknamed Mole) and even a reclusive CIA operative, which comes into the mix - It was well packed with mystery and action!
I had first read My Sister's Grave (by R.Dugoni), and as Tracey CrossWhite is a Detective, I thought I would much prefer that book / her character over the David Sloane character. And while I am eager for the 2nd in the CrossWhite series out in Sept, I will read through the books of Robert DuGoni's - David Sloane character! I was impressed.
When I read a thriller, I'm looking for several things. I hope the lead will grab me. I count on the author's ability to build tension and suspense steadily throughout the book. I look for settings and circumstances that engage my curiosity. And I expect the characters to bear a reasonable resemblance to credible human beings. Robert Dugoni's novel The Jury Master gets almost all of this right. But it comes up short in one crucial respect the story's conclusion is simply not believable. This is a thriller that thrills but falls flat in the end.
As of 2018, Robert Dugoni has published 18 books beginning in 2004. The Jury Master is the first entry of five novels to date in his David Sloane series. Sloane, the protagonist, is a trial attorney specializing in wrongful death defense in San Francisco as the novel opens. Dugoni himself practiced law in the courtrooms of the same city for 13 years. When The Jury Master concludes, Sloane has moved to Seattle, where Dugoni now makes his home.
The story in this novel involves several intertwining threads and a half-dozen principal characters. To say that it's complicated is an understatement. Dugoni does a fine job building suspense, and he manages to leave the resolution of the tale to the book's final chapters. In fact, the resolution is what some readers might call "shattering." I found it questionable. This is, indeed, a thriller that thrills only until the end.
If you read this book, be prepared to encounter an unnaturally gifted trial lawyer, a super-secret US military death squad, a right-wing Mexican revolutionary leader, and a White House Chief of Staff who is a heartless killer. In other words, I should have seen the ending coming.
