Publication Information
When Dr. Caryn Dryden is found floating dead in her hot tub, homicide inspector Devin Juhle targets a suspect close to home: her husband, Stuart Gorman. After all, Stuart was recently asked for a divorce, and he stands to gain millions in insurance. His alibi - that he was at his cabin on Tamarack Lake that weekend - doesn't keep him out of hot water. But maybe a shrewd attorney will.
"Unremarkable courtroom scenes and a clumsy gimmick to uncover the real killer make for a less than compelling resolution." - PW.
"Lescroart cuts back on his trademark sociological sweep to deliver the mid-grade pleasures of the genre." - Kirkus.
"Stylistic flaws aside, this is a satisfying offering from an acknowledged brand name in the legal-thriller business." - Booklist.
