Recently read: John Lescroart’s The Suspect

I’ve been reading Lescroart’s legal thrillers steadily for years. He’s fortunately a prolific writer and he never disappoints. Most of the books are focused on San Francisco lawyer Dismas Hardy. In this one, Hardy only pops up in what is barely even a cameo role, but the book is still an excellent read. Attorney Gina Roake decides to get back to the courtroom when a high-profile case triggers her to offer her services. A dead wife by the hot tub, an eye witness, and a disturbed daughter are all trouble for popular outdoor writer Stuart Gorman. Roake’s first order of business is to get him to keep his mouth shut when the police are around. Well worth reading, even though the coincidental fishing scenes are a bit of a stretch in Chapter 1.
