Publisher's summary

A federal judge is murdered, found shot to death in his home - together with the body of his mistress. The crime grips San Francisco. To homicide inspector Devin Juhle, it first looks like a simple case of a wife's jealousy and rage. But Juhle's investigation reveals that the judge had powerful enemies...some of whom may have been willing to kill to prevent him from meddling in their affairs.

Meanwhile, private investigator Wyatt Hunt, Juhle's best friend, finds himself smitten with the beautiful and enigmatic Andrea Parisi. A lawyer who recently has become a celebrity as a commentator on Trial TV, Andrea has star power in spades, and seems bound for a national anchor job in New York City. Until Juhle discovers that Andrea, too, had a connection to the judge, along with a client that had everything to gain from the judge's death.

And then she suddenly disappears...

Andrea becomes Juhle's prime suspect. Wyatt Hunt thinks she may be a kidnap victim, or worse...another murder victim. And far more than that, she's someone with whom he believes he may have a future.

As the search for Andrea intensifies, Hunt gathers a loose band of friends and associates willing to bend and even break the rules, leading to a chilling confrontation from which none of them might escape.

The narrator sounds like a moron

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A narrator that didn't sound moronic. I love John lescoart & I've read & then listened to nearly all his books but this set my teeth on edge. The narrator maybe. Thinks its amusing but it's moronic - I just couldn't stand it. I persevered for 2 hours but that was it. Sorry

Not up to his usual excellence

I found this selection from one of my favorite authors to be a bit of a stretch. Still engaging but not at all up to the standard which I have come to look forward to in John Lescroart's excellent crime and legal thrillers. I also must admit I am partial to David Colacci's narrations.

Cartoon voice

The narrator should work for Hannah-Barberra...all the characters sounded like cartoons...especially the women and children...the men were only slightly better.

Hunting for a new Sandford series?

I liked Wyatt Hunt and the group he's gathered and calls The Hunt Club. They are clever and dedicated, and from a variety of law and order related professions. Wyatt Hunt is the heart of this group and I thought the book was at it's best when Wyatt was front and center.

Not as good as the usual Lescroart

I love this author's book, but this one wasn't quite up to snuff. The narrator was terrible, especially with women's voices.

This narrator is the worst I've ever encountered.

Wow. The narrator absolutely killed the story. The women and children all had the same high-pitched, infantalized voice. Male characters other than the protagonist were given a dopey voice that made them sound mentally-challenged. Awkward pauses, terrible accents, and staccato dialogue--this narrator had it all.

Normally I'm a fan of Lescroart's books, but the narrator really made this one unbearable. How does someone so terrible at it actually make narration their career?? I'll never listen to another book he reads again.

Could There Be a Worse Narrator?

I usually like John Lescroart audiobooks, but had to give up on this one because of the narrator. He completely ruined the characters and the plot. I wanted to follow the story...I really did... but all I could think about was how much the narrator was annoying me.

Narrator needs another profession

The story doesn’t compare to the Dismas Hardy series, but getting more depth and background for Wyatt Hunt gives a bit more meaning to his presence in that series. The narrator’s inability to create voices distracts from the story.

not good

The narration is the worst ever and I've heard of 20 of his books to date. The parts where he's just reading are fine but the characters voices are terrible.
