Publisher's summary

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...

Don't miss this one!

I have many, many legal thrillers in my library and I put this one in the five-star category. Listened to GUILT over a weekend; didn't want it to end. Narrator David Colacci a five-star as well.

Lousy!

What disappointed you about Guilt?

Everything.

What was most disappointing about John Lescroart’s story?

So slow that I couldn't get through enough to say much about the plot. I had to quit wasting my time after the 3rd or 4th chapter.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator voice could put you to sleep. His voice doesn't provide for the distinction of characters like many others I've experienced.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not in my opinion.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste your money and\or time. I'm sorry I did!

Dissapointing

Another story with a good rich characters that plummet at the end. If the author had taken another direction or ending then perhaps it would have been worth the time and money. I would not recommend this book. Maybe I have high expectations but this book just didn't have the substance to sustain it.

Thoroughly Disappointing

What disappointed you about Guilt?

The story was flat and predictable. I suppose even a writer as reliable as Lescroat has to drop the ball once in a while. However, this book is an aberration in Lescroat's otherwise satisfying efforts.
