Amazon.com Review
Even though the excellent thrillers by John Lescroart--The 13th Juror, A Certain Justice, Dead Irish, and Hard Evidence are out in paperback--usually feature stirring courtroom scenes, where they really shine is out in the real world. His latest is no exception, as Mark Dooher, a high-profile attorney with links to the Catholic hierarchy of San Francisco, is charged with the brutal murder of the wife he had come to hate. Did Dooher do her? Lt. Abe Glitsky, whose own beloved wife is dying of cancer, is sure of it, but defense attorneys Wes Farrell and Christina Carrera--for different but equally hidden reasons--are certain he's being framed. You'll enjoy the tension and appreciate the intricate plotting.
Product Description
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, naive 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....

 Not a good mystery August 10, 2007

This book is too hard to follow. The plot is more into personal relationships than crime and would be better served in the romance novel section of a bookstore. It is one of the worst mysteries I have ever read. The crime part doesn't begin to happen until halfway through the book
This book is not worth the noney.
 Good first read April 8, 2007
Iles Fan (Boston, MA USA)
This is my first Lescroart novel. Despite an awareness as to the identity of the culprit in the early stages of the novel, the book was a fairly quick read. About half way through you will be absolutely sure of the creep's identity. The creep is a murderous sociopath who has taken big chances in life, always at the expense of others, not himself. Hence, an extremely selfish individual at that.
One of the main characters is a tough cop who has to deal with personal life pains in addition to capturing the scum who has been perpetrating horrendous crimes in San Francisco.
Although not my favorite crime novel by far, I will definitely read more of Lescroart in the future

Despite good experience with Lescroart in the past, despite the rave reviews on this site and despite the rave reviews on the back cover and a dozen rave reviews inside the front cover, I found myself only caring about what happened to Abe Glitsky. The slow-moving, plodding plotline only reinforced the fact that I did not care what happened to the Mark Dooher. Did he kill his wife? I don't know - it's mentioned in the first sentence in the plot synopsis on the back cover and 200 pages into the book she's still alive and I'm getting irritated at reading about Dooher's connivings to sleep with one of his young employees.
So, anyway, I read exactly 200 pages of this book. It was not easy. I was forcing myself to continue on, much like I would do with a college textbook. Then I came across the new Tony Hillerman book and I gladly dropped this one into the box of books that I'm dropping off at the Goodwill. Thank goodness I am now "Guilt" free!
I give this one a grade of F.
Keeps you reading July 21, 2006

GUILT is one of those books that keeps pushing you to read "just one more chapter."
If you read the back cover, it is about a murder, but we don't get THAT murder until page 300. The set up is worth the read. Lescroart populates his novels with plenty of interesting characters and motives.
The gist if the book is a successful lawyer is indicted for murdering his wife. You know the book is heading in this direction, but when you get to that point you are still wondering if he did or didn't kill her.
I won't spoil anything, except to say run don't walk to your nearest browser and add this one to your shopping cart.
Good but not his best April 17, 2006

Abe Glitsky and Dismas Hardy are hardy mentioned in this latest legal thriller by Lescroart, but none the less, it is an excellent read. You can guess whodunnit early on, but it is still a good read, especially for a plane, train or the beach.
