Search - The Hearing (Dismas Hardy, Bk 7)

Having read and enjoyed Lescroart's more recent novels featuring Dismas Hardy and Abe Glisky, I went back in search of some of his earlier works. I picked up "The Hearing" in hopes of getting some vintage Lescroart. I was not disappointed. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lescroart built his usual compelling, page-turning work. For me though, taking this out of order allowed for Lescroart's introduction of a number of characters that I grew to know in subsequent books. This certainly was an unexpected added dimension and source of enjoyment as I went quickly through the book. As might be expected, Lescroart does a great job of bringing out raw human emotion in the characters in a way that adds complexity and depth to the story. All in all, I'm very glad I went back to "The Hearing". It was well worth the time.

You can learn a lot about the law from this book. Very interesting how the law can get in the way of politics. Great Read!!

When Abe Glitsky realizes the accussed is innocent, no one will help him and Dismas discover who really did it! Sets the scene for Abe's marraige to Tia

Overall a good book, it has kind of a slow start to get into, but Lescroart does not disappoint and the last 200 pages goes amazingly quickly!
