Publisher's summary

Edgar Award Winner, Best First Novel, 2002

Marty Kalish is a young man suffocating in the heat of an affair with a married woman named Rachel. When Rachel's husband disappears one night, Marty is one of the first to be questioned. With few likely suspects, the police arrest him for murder.

We know Marty was outside their home that night. We know he has a motive. We know he's guilty of something. But is it murder?

Everything we learn—about Marty as a man, his affair with Rachel, and the night in question—comes from Marty himself. We want him to be innocent, but the more he tells us, the more we fear he is guilty. And as the twists and turns of the plot unfold, we can't be completely sure.

ok

ok. kind of a predictable story. there were a few times where I doubted what was pretty much set up from the beginning. overall it was a good story. not great but engaging and worth listening too.

Five Stars!

Great story! Had me guessing right up till the end. At first I didn't like the spots where the reader sounded like he was in a long hall with all the echo but it helped draw a distinction between the present and a memory and made the flash backs easier to distinguish.

Brilliant mystery, read perfectly

The Dick Hill reading of this mystery is so good that I hesitate to try an Ellis read by anyone else --- I'll just read another one. This is an unreliable narrator story. What is with our guy? And what is really going on here? There are more than one unreliable characters. Deceit occurs. The reading is so transparent I see all the characters and all the actions and never think of the words read. I loved it.

Slow start but great finish

Good narration and overall story wished it could of been more captivating throughout but had a strong ending

Good book if you like court room dramas

Great book

At first I got bored. I almost stopped listening to it. THEN there was a twist, and I was hooked,
Even in the end, they kept adding info that made me want to hear more.
It did not end the way I expected.
VERY good book

Couldn't put it down- not even at work!

This book and narration is definitely one of the very best I've ever listened to! Worth every penny and every minute! A+++++++

Very Good Court Room Thriller

Took a little while to get going but once it did, it was great! The performance was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Pretty good.

Somewhat predictable towards the end but an overall good experience. I enjoyed the performance Very much. Pretty good book overall.

Outstanding!

Sometimes the old saying "you can't put it down" just happens to be true, and that certainly applies to this book. The plot is original, with plenty of twists and turns and a giant surprise at the end that is both startling and satisfying.

If you are really into classic murder mysteries or legal thrillers, you will love this book. It has everything you could ask for.

The narrator, Dick Hill, is fabulous! He is a master of suspense and his pacing is perfect.

gripping story

The author is excellent at creating believable courtroom strategy and testimony. This story kept pulling me toward its conclusion. Narrator Dick Hill does an excellent job!!!
