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

Legal thriller filled with twists!

Author Robert Dugoni is best known for his Tracy Crosswhite crime fiction series (Book 10 will be released in October) but he also has an espionage fiction series, one non-fiction book, his Sam Hell standalone novel, his David Sloane legal thrillers and now this standalone legal thriller titled Her Deadly Game with Keera Dugan. Dugan has just given up her prosecutor job and is joining the legal defense firm of her legendary criminal lawyer dad where she is working with her dad and her two sisters. The publisher's summary of this novel is outstanding so I suggest that you read it. Her Deadly Game is a wonderful novel about an apparent murder and the murder trial with Keera Dugan being the defense attorney. It is filled with twists and turns. It is Robert Dugoni at his best, but Dugoni is always at his best. Narration is stellar. I highly recommend Her Deadly Game.

Fast paced court thriller

Felt like I was watching a movie length episode of law and order. Loved it! Like most of his other books this one hooked me in and kept me wanting to read for hours after I needed to go to bed!

Excellent, hoping this is beginning of a series!

I absolutely loved this book! The storyline, characters and narration were topnotch. Hopefully this will be start of series. Definitely 5 stars from me!!!

It was okay

I like a good thriller, but this wasn’t it for me. Also, I don’t like how breathy the narrator was. Just talk, you don’t have to sound like you’re whispering, unless you’re supposed to be. Yikes! I think the narrator ruined it mostly for me.

Performance Not The Best

As is usually the case for Robert Dugoni, great book!!! I hope to see more!! The narrator left a lot to be desired. If you’re going to narrate books, you should at least be able to pronounce words correctly. Common words and phrases that you should know, or at least research, if you don’t.

Never saw it coming!

As we always expect from Mr. Dugoni , brilliant, sleep depriving, hard to catch your breath at times, magnificent writing. Then you'll add a narrator who has the ability to take the reader anywhere she wants them to go and I truly felt the oppressive Seattle heatwave! Or it could be I just forgot where I was because by Easter weekend in South Louisiana the heat's been making us sweat for several weeks already!

Fast read

I finished in a few days. That's usually a very good sign that the book is good.

Fantastic book!!!

im a very critical listener and I can say this with all seriousness this was a fantastic read AND listen. I highly recommend it. This book definitely keeps you guessing especially when you think you know how it turns out. Can't wait for more

Loved it

A very good story and one of the best performances I have heard. A good solid ending. Going to get his next book tonight.

Really enjoyed about Robert dugoni book

Took me a while to get used to the narrator but once I did, it was a great story! Thanks
