I haven’t read a John Lescroart novel for a year and a half!  I used to love his legal thrillers and get the new onse in a series as they came out. But then after a half dozen books the reader changed but changed back and the books kept coming  David Colacci had such a distinctive voice and when different voices were tried it was too much to bear (lol). I just couldn’t put anyone else in there for a long time and then I tried one of the new guy but …  So I tried the non-Dismas Hardy and they worked okay but … and time passed until now I finally decided it was time for one of the few I hadn’t got to yet.

Rating:  A- / legal thriller 
(Book # 16 in the Dismas Hardy series

 A 17-year old Black girl falls or is pushed off a roof. The cops are being pressured to find the killer so they find a White boy who looks suspicious and they can put the finger on. Dismas Hardy gets the call to defend but his daughter, Rebecca, is on the case this time. . 

Rebecca Hardy, Dismas’ eldest daughter, just 2 years out of law school and working out of Dismas’ office, gets the case; her first murder case.  On these pages we also run into Abe Glitsky who has his own associated series. He’s with the police department and is Dismas’ very good friend.  Then comes Wyatt Hunt, from yet another series written by Lescroart and connected to the Dismas Hardy books, turns up here. He and Devin Juhle, his partner, are police homicide investigators.

It’s a fine legal thriller with a good amount of courtroom drama, some twists and turns etc. There are some hilarious moments in the dialogue. I really enjoyed it but it was nothing special.
