In fact I slept most of the way home. If you were to read this book you'd know why. It took a long time to build up to anything and the trial (actually a preliminary hearing) was rather lame and totally lacking in the slightest trace of fireworks. Even the denouement (which took place out of court) was somewhat anticlimactic. And the identity and motive of the killer were rather week too. In a way, this was all probably quite realistic. Most cases are NOT resolved by courtroom fireworks. But this is supposed to be a thriller. This book just failed to thrill. (  ) litterate | Sep 9, 2008 | Kept me up at night. Great story. Suspenseful. (  ) Bonni208 | Mar 15, 2008 | I did not enjoy this book; it seemed pedantic,; there was no tension; frankly I missed Dismas and Abe! suzanjane | Jan 17, 2008 | Lescroart's 'normal' lawyer is Dismiss Hardy. Although he has a bit part, the main charter is Gina Roake, former fiance of Dismiss' partner, David. Yet again, we don't actually go to trial; instead, everything is settled at a preliminary hearing. Lescroart is recycling a tired plot. (  ) OneMorePage | Dec 13, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Gina Roake, a partner in Dismas Hardy’s firm, is eager to take on such a high-profile case, especially when the client’s innocence seems so easy to prove. Yet the more time she spends with Stuart, the more complicated her feelings become; she feels strangely drawn to him at first, then has to confront the possibility of a dark history lurking in his past. Desperate to know the truth, Gina calls in Wyatt Hunt to investigate. Before the facts are in, her client is on the lam; he’s already been tried in the press, and so he’s certain the courtroom won’t bring him any mercy either. Racing to a stunning conclusion as Gina uncovers disturbing answers, The Suspect is a chilling story of secrets, love, and lies.
Building on The Hunt Club’s phenomenal success, The Suspect showcases the writing of a master of suspense at the height of his art.

In this one defense attorney Gina Roake takes the case of writer accused of killing his doctor wife after she dumps him. Roake is the only one who thinks he's innocent, blah blah. Unless you're really into SF and legal thrillers like I am, you can skip it safely. Heck, even if you are. (
