About this listen
As he digs deeper into the investigation, Sloane confronts a law called the Feres Doctrine which prohibits a soldier's family from suing the government for his death. Contested nearly 3,000 times in the past 50 years, the Feres Doctrine has yet to be amended or overturned. Now Sloane is desperate to find a loophole. But as he examines the events that led to James Ford's death, he uncovers disturbing evidence of a powerful enemy playing a very deadly game - one that may put him and his family in dire jeopardy.
Compelling characters, jaw-dropping twists, and a dangerous hunger for justice make Wrongful Death an edge-of-your-seat audio full of hot-button issues and searing courtroom drama.

Amazing
Loved this book. It had everything and a whole lot more. Edge of your seat, mystery, emotion and a good “arse kicking” too.

a really gripping mystery
I really enjoyed this book!
I listened to the audio edition, performed by Dan John Miller. Miller did an excellent job in translating Dugoni's written word into the realm of the spoken.
An attorney is asked by a woman to investigate the death of her husband while on deployment in Iraq and is drawn into a ever-deepening web of lies and deceit... Sounds pretty run-of-the-mill, right? This was good though! Dugoni takes the characters on some interesting adventures, none of which turn out to be red herrings thankfully.
Miller expertly performed a myriad of complex characters interacting in every scene, and I particularly liked the 'telephone-effect' used when a character was talking to another on the phone - it really helped to keep me in touch with who was where.
Dugoni's plot was well-crafted with suspense, flashbacks and multiple characters slowly moving toward an inevitable collision. The way Dugoni explained all the contexts of the characters' actions (and left some mysteriously unsaid) all helped to create a clear picture in the mind of what was going on and built tension in nearly every scene.
Talking about that tension, I know that it's standard procedure to keep readers guessing and end scenes before resolving them... BUT it felt like this was being written as a TV series. In the middle of the book, there was so much darting around with mysterious people walking into houses or phones ringing that I started to get a little annoyed. I'm already reading the book - just advance the plot already! As the storylines converged toward the end it trailed off thankfully and we got down to resolving the story.
I liked that Dugoni kept it all pretty straight (no trips to Paris and murders under the sea) and doesn't mess around. Short of the quick-fire scene changes in the middle this book gets a glowing recommendation.
