About this audiobook
Judge Daniel Brennan is only days away from achieving a seat on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals bench when he's brutally stabbed to death in his garage. An army of media and law enforcement descend on the case, and thousands of tips pour in from the public. When one tip leads New Jersey policeman Luke Somers to Steven Gallagher, things quickly go wrong, but Luke is instantly glorified for solving the case.
But to one man, Luke is no hero. Chris Gallagher raised his brother, Steven, almost single-handedly, and, certain that Steven is innocent, he won't rest until he sets the record straight. Thanks to Luke's newfound fame, he's an easy man to find, and Chris quickly makes it clear that Luke's own brother will die if Luke refuses to help clear Steven's name.
So begins Luke's desperate attempt to find another suspect - and other suspect - in Judge Brennan's death. But Luke's investigation might open the door to powerful forces even more dangerous than Chris Gallagher.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Too many characters! And a bit slow, plot ok
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love mysteries and really good writers and I especially love really good writers who write mysteries. Airtight was the first of David Rosenfelt's books that I've read, and it was so well done that I can't imagine any sort of slippage in his other books, which means I've got a whole lot of fun ahead of me.
Airtight is smart and inevitable without being showoff-y or obvious.
And real people are witty and ironic and sarcastic and tender in just the way that Rosenfelt writes them.
That is all. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I actually really liked this book, action was fast-paced, and the plot was fairly well thought out. It was like a watered-down PG version of a Jack Reacher novel. I would recommend it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A judge about to rule on an important environmental case is murdered in his driveway and tips and clues all lead police to the home of down-and-out drug addict Stephen Gallagher. Not really believing Stephen is guilty, but feeling he may know something police pay him a visit and are greeted by the suspect pointing a gun. Detective Luke Somers wastes not time recognizing the fact that an unstable individual is pointing a gun at him threatening to shoot and pulls his trigger first. While the rest of the world considers it a justified reaction to the situation, ex-black ops Chris Gallagher, Stephen’s brother has a different opinion. Living by his an eye for an eye credo he subsequently kidnaps Luke’s brother to force Luke to reopen the investigation in order to prove his brother innocent. Keeping Luke’s brother in an AIRTIGHT room with a seven-day supply of oxygen keeps the investigation on track and this story moving along at a satisfactory clip.
It’s a mystery/thriller so as usual the reader must suspend reality for a little bit, but overall Mr. Rosenfelt keeps the action within reasonable bounds. The sub-story is about fracking and it’s impact on the environment (the case the judge was going to rule on) so I learned a little bit about a term I had heard but did not know much about. Overall it was a good read. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This isn't the usual Andy Carpenter mystery and doesn't have quite the same wise-guy attitude, but it's a definite page-turner. Lucas, who's a cop, has seven days to save his own brother, who's been kidnapped by a highly skilled special ops guy, who believes that Lucas has wrongly killed his brother. Setting off this turn of events is the murder of a judge, Lucas thinks by the guy he killed in self-defense when he attempted to question him. Is it possible that someone else murdered the judge? And can he get to the bottom of it before his own brother is dead?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received this ARC from Goodreads. Very good book and good mystery. I was not familiar with this author, but I would read his other books too.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent read from David Rosenfelt, but not one of the Andy Carpenter series. Good characters and a fast pace with plenty of twists and turns.
