Resumen del Editor

You can pick your friends, they say, but you can't pick your family. And lately, Mike Daley's family has been keeping him very busy. An ex-priest, ex-public defender, and ex-corporate lawyer, Daley and his former wife, Rosie Fernandez, now run their own San Francisco criminal defense firm. Most of their cases are fairly small-time, which is why it would be surprising that the person accused of murdering movie director Richard (Big Dick) MacArthur is calling them - except that the accused is Rosie's own niece, Angelina. That case is bad enough, but the family problems don't end there: Rosie's brother, Tony, may be on the wrong end of a strong-arm graft proposal; the son of one of the firm's lawyers has just been busted on a drug charge; Mike is having a clandestine affair with a woman judge... and Rosie herself has a dark secret that may make all of it seem irrelevant.

An intricate plot, immensely likeable characters, powerful suspense, and more than a touch of humor-these have already become Siegel's hallmarks. Criminal Intent will keep you turning pages until its final, surprising end.

Narrator so awful, I had to return it.

I love the series and this book promised to be another good story, but I could not listen to this narrator a minute longer. I will need to finish the story by reading a hard copy. On to book 4, with a different narrator. I’m hoping they learned from this experience.

love the story and the way it develops

love it. One of the best . Clear voice . very very interesting. thank you

Loved the story

The story flowed well and though I was skeptical of the multiple storylines at first, it followed through easily. I loved Michael and Rosita!

Criminal Intent IS NOT The Great American Novel. It is a legal/murder mystery. Mike Daley & Rosie Fernandez have had fine chemistry since Special Circumstances -the first novel in Sheldon Siegel's series. In fact, you'd do well starting with that book and enjoying their growth through Criminal Intent.

Here they wrestle with movie moguls, real estate developers, community organizers, and shabby politicians in San Fransisco. Apparently neither Bill Godfrey nor any of the production staff have ever visited that city or they'd pronounce place names accurately. The mispronouncing is repetitive and ripped my attention away from the narrative. Still, even with this irritant, it's the sort of book that makes cleaning the dishes, or mowing the lawn totally bearable.

Who is Jack O'Brien.

The police detective Roosevelt in the ebook version of this book is referred to as Jack O'Brien, Jack, or O'Brien throughput the Audiobook version. Which is it?

Poor quality recording of a decent story

The story was decent as was the performance, but there were many distracting sounds in the background throughout the recording. Frequently sounded like doors closing or objects dropping-- at times enough so that it pulled me out of the story and reminded me I was sitting in traffic.

Could have been better

The narration was awful! It really was hard hard to listen when the reading mispronounced words and the affect was flat. The story was ok, but not engaging!

Narration is low quality but good story

Another good book but the narration was low quality with background noises etc. Enjoying the series

Too much motion with the mic

You can hear every time the reader turns the mic on and off and when he moves. Very annoying and a great distraction

Attention getter

I enjoyed this book. It was interesting how you would think it was this way or that and it was not at all. I am going to get next one in series.
