Thought provoking, well developed characters and a full storyline make this one of the better Patterson books I’ve read in a while. When it popped up as available in my list, I wasn’t even excited as I’d gotten so disheartened with his books. Glad I picked it up. Well worth it. I was a bit disappointed with this novel. It started well, and I enjoyed following Ruby as she tried her first cast in court, but then it moved onto a totally different case, with a very weak link between the two at the end. The first storyline was far more interesting than the second one - I thought Lee Green, Ruby's second client, was a spoilt, rich jackass. Ruby Bozarth was, by far, the best thing about "Juror #3". I liked her tough, no-frills attitude and her determination to be successful despite her humble beginnings. I also liked Suzanne, Lee's aunt, but the other characters were flat and uninspiring. "Juror #3". was an okay novel, but I have certainly read better by Patterson. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Ruby Bozarth, a newcomer to Rosedale, Mississippi, is also fresh to the Mississippi Bar--and to the docket of Circuit Judge Baylor, who taps Ruby as defense counsel in a racially charged felony. The murder of a woman from one of the town's oldest families has Rosedale's upper crust howling for blood, and the prosecutor is counting on Ruby's inexperience to help him deliver a swift conviction. Ruby's client is a college football star who has returned home after a career-ending injury, and she is determined to build a defense that will stick. She finds help in unexpected quarters from Suzanne, a hard-charging attorney armed to the teeth, and Shorty, a diner cook who knows more than he lets on. Ruby never belonged to the country-club set, but once she nearly married into it. As news breaks of a second murder, Ruby's ex-fiancé, Lee Greene, shows up on her doorstep--a Southern gentleman in need of a savior. As lurid, intertwining investigations unfold, no one in Rosedale can be trusted, especially the twelve men and women impaneled on the jury. They may be hiding the most incendiary secret of all.
