Resumen del Editor

"A woman doesn't kill herself when she's losing weight," said the court reporter.

Or does she?

Seattle attorney Jack Hart is defending his client's refusal to pay on a life insurance policy. Everything points to suicide, except that the young woman lost 50 pounds in the six months before she jumped or fell 10 stories to her death. Suicide, accident - or murder?

This fourth installment of the Jack Hart mystery series takes Jack across charismatic Seattle neighborhoods in search of clues.

From Capitol Hill to Ballard, from Queen Anne to the University District, Jack learns of a young woman who seemed almost deliberately self-effacing, someone people couldn’t quite see. Someone that unobtrusive could overhear a lot of secrets - secrets that could get somebody killed.

Riveting!

Well-written. Held my attention throughout.

Noah DeBiase did a great job narrating and bringing the characters to life.

Excellent next book in the series!

In Jack's own words, he has a "tendency to wander into trouble.' This is the fourth book in the series and that tendency continues.

Working for an insurance company client, Jack and Harmony (now law partners) needs to confirm suicide, accident, or murder. This mystery had a lot of possible characters (hats off to the author) and the twists and turns kept me guessing. I will confess that I guessed wrong each and every time.

I don't know what it is about the narrator but he does not affect any real vocal changes in his characters and yet, I always, always, always know who's talking, male or female. It's a skill.

I hope the next book deals with Harmony's issue. I can't wait.

I really enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this legal thriller. The plot was twisted and kept me guessing (and I had it wrong) . I enjoyed the relationship between Jack and his fiance. Not knowing if it was murder or suicide made it even more interesting .
I will be reading more of this author.

Wonderful

Rosemary Reeve is a wonderful author. The Jack Hart series is one of the best series I have ever read. The characters are well developed and I love how they interact with each other. This is book 4 in the series and I have read them all. Rosemary has done it again making me wish the book would not end. Noah DeBaise is the narrator of this wonderful series and once again he does a great job. I can't imagine anyone else being the voice of Jack Hart. I was gifted this audiobook with the understanding that I would leave an honest review.

Captivating with great characters

Rosemary Reeve has done it again. This is another captivating mystery featuring some really great characters. And Noah DeBiase has definitely become the voice of Jack Hart. His performance is outstanding.

Always a good read

I love the Jack Hart series. It's different and entertaining. If you haven't tried this series you're missing out.

Very Good Legal Thriller Series...

This is the fourth book in the Jack Hart series. I’ve enjoyed the previous three books very much. Each book can be listened to as a stand alone however I would suggest listening to the series in order for continuity of of character development and relationships.
This is an excellent legal thriller. There are multiple plots going on with the two major cases coming together in the end. First a woman falls from her 10 story balcony. Murder or suicide? The insurance company would like to know because if it’s suicide they don’t have to pay. A few days later her sister is murdered and her body mutilated. Meanwhile another company is bilking Medicare out of millions and there’s a whistleblower wannabe who stands to make a large sum of he’s the first. And finally Jack Hart’s fiancé is being railroaded by an FBI agent with something to hide. There are a few red herrings and a surprise ending when the hero turns out to be the antagonist.
Noah DeBiase does a great job narrating.
This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Suicide? Murder?

Dead Weight is the fourth in the Jack Hart series , of which I have only listened to the first one. This book can be listened to without prior knowledge of the earlier books, however, I would have liked to have read the evolution of Jack and Harmony. Dead Weight is about the murder or suicide of a girl who has recently lost a lot of weight. Great characters, fast pace, good dialogue, very unexpected story with multiple twists. The narration by Noah DeBiase is good . A very enjoyable listen. I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
