About this listen

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.

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.

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.

an exceptionally good read

I've always enjoyed Lescroart's books -- but this one is at the top of my list. All the characters are interestingly and insightfuly developed. The author's portrayal of a psychopathic/narcissistic character is especially well written.

the reader was also outstanding.

I couldn't stop listening once I started and wished it would keep on going, even though the ending was gratifying.

Great plot - really interesting book

This was my first John Lescroart book but it won't be my last! He develops interesting plotlines and characters and the book describes San Franscisco beautifully. It is a long book, but it kept my attention all the way through. I thought the narrator was excellent.

Interesting Twists

This was the first Lescroart book I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark Dooher is an attorney who has made it to the top. At first glance he has it all, but Lescroart, through other characters, gives very subtle indicators of Dooher's darker side. Dooher ends up indicted for murder of his long-time wife and Wes Farrell, his best friend as well as Christine, the new girlfriend, stand steadfastly by his side. The court room drama begins to unravel all that the characters have held to be true and the reader wants to jump in and save them all - but can't. If there is one criticism of the book it's the rather cardboard relationship between Sam and Wes, which actually continues on into other books (which I started to read after reading this one). But there is little doubt that Lescroart is a master of courtroom drama. Good read and credible narrator.

DOOHER

PRETTY GOOD READ. I FELT LIKE OKAY, ALRIGHT, LETS GET TO THE CONCLUSION, I KNOW THE ENDING. BUT THE CHARACTERS WERE GOOD, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS TOO MUCH TIME SPENT WITH EACH.

Too many words

Good story but way too many words. I understand the character development of Dooher and it was well done. But I do not want to believe people can be that gullible.
