[Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading]

This is suspense filled legal thriller set in the city of San Francisco. This is my first taste of a John Lescroart novel and I must say I enjoyed it. The characters were well developed and throughout the story the reader is able to see how each of them grows. They each had something to hide and this helped to add to the the intrigue of the whole story. This story is filled with a lot of questions but the most important one is who is the murderer?There were so many suspects even though the evidence pointed to one particular person. The story started it out with a bang, but it tapered of somewhat eventually picking up back the pace during the trial. I enjoyed how the author portrayed the the trial. It had me wondering what the defense team would be willing to do to get their client off. I was disappointed with the ending as I am still wondering who the actual murderer is.
I would recommend this book to lovers of mystery and legal thrillers.
