Publisher's summary
"A genuine whodunnit" (Kirkus Reviews) - Phillip Margolin, the master of the courtroom thriller, returns with A Matter of Life and Death, a classic mind-bending puzzle, as attorney Robin Lockwood must face her most challenging case yet, with everything stacked against her client and death on the line.
Joe Lattimore, homeless and trying desperately to provide for his young family, agrees to fight in a no-holds-barred illegal bout, only to have his opponent die. Lattimore now finds himself at the mercy of the fight's organizers who blackmail him into burglarizing a house. However, when he breaks in, he finds a murdered woman on the floor and the police have received an anonymous tip naming him the murderer.
Robin Lockwood, an increasingly prominent young attorney and former MMA fighter, agrees to take on his defense. But the case is seemingly airtight - the murdered woman's husband, Judge Anthony Carasco, has an alibi and Lattimore's fingerprints are discovered at the scene. But everything about the case is too easy, too pat, and Lockwood is convinced that her client has been framed. The only problem is that she has no way of proving it and since this is a death case, if she fails then another innocent will die.

After his first grisly crime, Harvey Louis Carignan beat a death sentence and continued to manipulate, rape, and bludgeon women to death - using want ads to lure his young female victims. And time after time, justice was thwarted by a killer whose twisted legal genius was matched only by his sick savagery. Here, complete with the testimony of women who suffered his unspeakable sexual abuses and barely escaped with their lives and of the police who at last put him behind bars, is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

Good book and narration!
Wow I really liked this book. I was worried it was going to be boring like book 3 was. I was not!
Very good story and characters. I really liked the twists and turns in this story. Lots of things happening and melding together.
I like Robin Lockwood's character, she gets better and better.
As for the narration, it was great I really like Therese Plummer's narrations. She does a really good job on all the voices and the men sound like men. She has a nice reading voice and reads with emotion when called for. Very good narrator.

Wrapped up way too many loose ends
Two unrelated side stories in the beginning that set up author’s agenda. It got way too preachy for me. The ending went on and on outside the realm of probability. I don’t recommend.
