About this listen

First published by St. Martin's in 1958, Robert Traver's Anatomy of a Murder immediately became the number one best seller in America, and was subsequently turned into the successful and now classic Otto Preminger film. It is is not only the most popular courtroom drama in American fiction, but one of the most popular novels of our time.

A gripping tale of deceit, murder, and a sensational trial, Anatomy of a Murder is unmatched in the authenticity of its settings, events, and characters.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin

"The characters are as fresh as when they were first created, the tension high, and the cross- examinations and legal chicanery full of suspense. The novel is simply what it says on the cover. A classic." (Tangled Web)

Critic Reviews

"For the lay reader, the entertainment lies in the action...but for the lawyer, undoubtedly the greatest pleasure stems from the author's obvious competence in, and love for, the law." (University of Miami Law Review)

Must Read for Law Lovers

Absolutely glued to my seat. If you're into TV court drama, this may bore you to tears. But true enthusiasts of Court process will adore the parry and lunge of skilled attorneys at work.

Longwinded and self-congratulatory

Started out ok but nothing to write home about. I've witnessed many court cases and the protagonist's jury address was pretty pathetic and melodramatic with no real teeth. Way too drawn out and in the end quite dull.
