Search - The Suspect

This is one of Lescroart's best tales. While it does not have the driving tenseness of some of his prior books, it provides a compelling need to keep reading. The protagonist is Gina Roake, partner to Dismas Hardy, and whom you may remember as the fiancee of David Freeman, who was killed in an earlier tale. Just good entertaining reading, set in San Francisco, as usual.

This appears to be the second in the Hunt Club series. Wyatt Hunt and Dismas Hardy is in it but Hardy's role is very slight.
It is a good legal suspense.

This is a great book. I kept thinking a different person did the killing. The author weaved the story very well ad it was easy to follow. Actually, this was an easy read as well.

Although the characters Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky are not the central characters in the book, it did not lack great characters or story. Gina Roake, former fiancee of David Freeman, is trying to get her life back together since David died. She decides she needs to start working again and receives a phone call from an old friend about a friend of his that may need her representation. Stuart Gorman is a murder suspect who didn't help himself by freely speaking to the police detective the day his wife was killed. Now the police are not looking anywhere else for a suspect. There are lots of twists in the book and possible perpetrators besides Stuart including their own daughter! I really enjoyed the book as I always do with Lescroart - I think I figured out who did it about the same time that Gina did. :)
