About this listen

Mark Dooher is a prosperous San Francisco attorney and a prominent Catholic, the last person anyone would suspect of a brutal crime. But Dooher, a paragon of success and a master of all he touches, is about to be indicted for murder.

Charged with savagely killing his own wife, Dooher is fighting for his reputation and his life in a high-profile case that is drawing dozens of lives into its wake - from former spouses to former friends, from a beautiful, naïve young attorney to a defense lawyer whose own salvation depends on getting his client off.

Now, as the trial builds to a crescendo, as evidence is sifted and witnesses discredited, as a good cop tries to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and a D.A. risks her career, the truth about Mark Dooher is about to explode. For in a trial that will change the lives of everyone it touches, there is one thing that no one knows - until it is much too late...

A Little Heavy on the Sexual Content

I have to wonder what was going on in John Lescroart's life when he wrote this entry in the 'Abe Glitsky' Crime Thriller series. The book has mid-life dalliances, erotic encounters, and explicit description after explicit description of female after female.
The writing is capable, the plotting is twisty-turny, and the story is engrossing, but Lescroart writes like a horny undersexed middle-aged husband. To be fair, the story is about rape (and the murder of a wife to escape a sexless marriage), but wow. While not overwhelming, the innuendo is glaringly noticeable.

On the more positive side, reader David Colacci does a better job of presenting serious subject matter in this audiobook than he has in others in the series. His female voice interpretations continue to be subpar, but the performance is solid on this project.

Altogether, I rate 'Guilt' 8 stars out of 10. Despite some deficiencies, it's likely the best of the 'Glitsky' series. Can recommend.

[Note: This book displays Lescroart's strongest writing feature: unparalleled courtroom drama]
