Guilt

By: John Lescroart

Narrated by: David Colacci

Mark Dooher is a prosperous San Francisco attorney and a prominent Catholic, the last person anyone would suspect of a brutal crime. But Dooher, a paragon of success and a master of all he touches, is about to be indicted for murder.

Charged with savagely killing his own wife, Dooher is fighting for his reputation and his life in a high-profile case that is drawing dozens of lives into its wake - from former spouses to former friends, from a beautiful, naïve young attorney to a defense lawyer whose own salvation depends on getting his client off.

Now, as the trial builds to a crescendo, as evidence is sifted and witnesses discredited, as a good cop tries to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and a D.A. risks her career, the truth about Mark Dooher is about to explode. For in a trial that will change the lives of everyone it touches, there is one thing that no one knows - until it is much too late...

Fast forward

I liked the premise but hated the pace. The narrators slow reading made it much worse. I decided to bump up the speed which made it almost enjoyable.

I really wanted to like this book. The beginning had some good character development and It had some interesting moments but I had to skip a lot as the story became obvious. The ending wrapped up loose ends in a quick and unsatisfying way.

Enthralling!

To me, Lescroart is the king of the legal thrillers and I have read/listened to almost all of his novels. And, in my opinion, this is his best. It wrapped me up from beginning to end. HIghly recommended!

Slow Starter - But Good Ending

Any additional comments?

I started to get impatient with the story; but stuck it out. Glad I did.

Great!!!

Great writing, plot, characters, twists and turns! One of the best legal/ police thrillers I’ve ever read!

Great back story

Fun to get Wes Farrell ' s back story. Many of the later novels refer to this. Dismas Hardy doesn't appear in this book. Abe Glitsky's wife Flo is in this story also.
