John Lescroart, Guilty, audio book. ISBN 04402222818, Island Books, August 10, 1998.
A Thomas Hollyday book review, published 10/18/09 in Solar Sipper Sense at solarsippers.com and in Puddles Weblog.com.
From the start you wonder about the main character Mark. He’s too good and the way he is read by the audio artist, he comes off as a pretty nice guy. Short for suspect him. Then you immediately see him rigging the situation because of his love for a woman. Pretty contrived and I spent the rest of the book wondering how he would get caught. Of course
Abe Glitsky is very interesting as a character who chases him as a cop. H8is story overwhelms that of the bad guy. The rest of the book seems very unlikely to have happened this way, too much that begs the question of how stupid are the onlookers.
Lescroart is better at legal stories, courtroom dramas with some meat. This one is too predictable for his talent.
My overall rating is 2 of 5 stars.
