I really went through this one quickly. I enjoyed it a lot, and look forward to reading more of John Lescroart's books. This was the 2nd in the Abe Glitsky series, and kind of wrapped around the first one, including time before and after it. This was kind of the opposite of the first one, in that in this one, it shows how the guilty can go free as easily as the innocent can be screwed. Overall, his books make me think that I don't want to get involved with the police or judicial system at all, which isn't really surprising. ( )

Having recently found and enjoyed Lescroart, I was delighted to find this very fat one of his that I had not read. If you're interested in trying him, start with GUILT. It is an excellent example of my favorite kind of novel. In an organized, well paced plot, he fully develops more than a handful of really interesting characters. A powerful, well respected San Franciso attorney is arrested for a particularly grizzly murder and is suspected by the homicide detective and his team of being responsible for other equally horrible murders. But, there is a camp of also credible people who know that it is impossible for him to have done anything even remotely like this. This one is going to have to go on my best of the year list. ( )

Defense attorneys Wes Farrell and Christina Carrera, are certain Mark Dooher is being framed. I thought Christina was a fool. It was obvious that Mark was pursuing her. She had been burned by a married man before, she should have run. ( )

Good, but not quite 4 stars. ( )

good! ( )
