Her Deadly Game

Keera Duggan, Book 1

De: Robert Dugoni

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

A defense attorney is prepared to play. But is she a pawn in a master’s deadly match? A twisting novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.

Keera Duggan was building a solid reputation as a Seattle prosecutor, until her romantic relationship with a senior colleague ended badly. For the competitive former chess prodigy, returning to her family’s failing criminal defense law firm to work for her father is the best shot she has. With the right moves, she hopes to restore the family’s reputation, her relationship with her father, and her career.

Keera’s chance to play in the big leagues comes when she’s retained by Vince LaRussa, an investment adviser accused of murdering his wealthy wife. There’s little hard evidence against him, but considering the couple’s impending and potentially nasty divorce, LaRussa faces life in prison. The prosecutor is equally challenging: Miller Ambrose, Keera’s former lover, who’s eager to destroy her in court on her first homicide defense.

As Keera and her team follow the evidence, they uncover a complicated and deadly game that’s more than Keera bargained for. When shocking information turns the case upside down, Keera must decide between her duty to her client, her family’s legacy, and her own future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Fast-paced legal-intrigue gold that could be improved only by kicking off a new series.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Twist-filled.…John Grisham fans will be pleased.”—Publishers Weekly

“One of the best puzzle books ever! I raced through the pages, which are packed full of compelling characters and taut gamesmanship, desperate to learn the answer to this extraordinary thriller, which is both whodunit and how-dunit. I would follow Robert Dugoni anywhere.”—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Classic Dugoni

I so thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this novel. The narrator of excellent and the story did not lack in anything. There were the characters that I rooted for and the ones I wished to smack across the face. I did not give it 5 stars because I just don’t usually do it unless the book just compels me to do nothing less. This was close to that… but not quite that.

I hope to meet these characters again. SOON!

Terrific courtroom thrills

This is the best well written crime fiction novel since Presumed Innocent. Dugoni can write! The plot is clever, the courtroom scenes shine with accuracy. As a lawyer myself, I knew the writer had to be one. And a smart one.! Comparing a chess game to trying a case is spot on. An extremely entertaining addition to the genre.

One of the best yet!

I’ve read several books by Robert Dugoni and thoroughly enjoyed each one. This book however is in another league! I could not put out down! I hope so much that there is a book 2 coming.

Get it-you won’t be sorry!

Really enjoyable. As well written as it is performed. I hope he does more with these characters and makes them a part of a series.

Great Story and Characters

Listened to the Audible version which grabbed my interest immediately, kept me wanting to learn more and now wishing for more for another book with these characters. Awesome book!
