One is personal; my love for this series is in a large part due to the interactions between Hardy and Abe Glitsky, and there wasn't much of that in this book. But there were a couple of technical things that bothered me. These might be considered spoilers, somewhat, so I'll put spoiler tags around the rest of the review just in case. I don't know that it's really a major spoiler, but read at your own risk. The first problem I had was when Hardy's wife, Frannie, came down hard on him because she thought he was putting their son, Vincent's life at risk due to his involvement in the murder case Hardy was handling. But in my opinion, this wasn't happening at all. Vincent got involved because a friend of his was murdered. Nobody suspected it was related to Hardy's case. In fact, Hardy's family became aware of the involvement only because they later suspected it was related, so if Hardy had not been handling the murder case, they may never had even known of the danger. Nevertheless, it would have happened whether Hardy was handling the case or not. Another problem was when they had a suspect, but no proof, so his investigator, Wyatt Hunt, was to follow the suspect hoping he would walk into a trap, which involved trying to kill someone using the same gun as he used in two other shootings. The gun was the only link, and was very important. Yet Hunt was following him alone, and in fact almost lost him once. It seems like for something as important as this, there should have been more than just one person following him. As a fan of legal thriller books, I would classify this one as a let down. I felt the story line was too predictable. As soon as Joey’s financial problems were mentioned I had him pegged as the killer. I think the author could have done a better job of having additional twists and turns in the plot specifically around the family owned business. Or even, further developing the story of Abby in jail. Maybe something actually happening to Vincent other than hey he knew two of the people that were killed. Something, anything to add some excitement. I really wanted to like this book as I’m always looking for new lawyer books/series, but it just wasn’t exciting and creative enough. I don’t think I’ll be going out of my way to read other books by this author. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieDismas Hardy (17)
"Dismas Hardy is looking forward to cutting back his work hours and easing into retirement after recovering from two gunshot wounds. He is determined to spend more time with his family and even reconnect with his distant son, Vincent. But Dismas just can't stay away from the courtroom for long and soon he is pulled into an intense family drama with fatal consequences. Grant Wagner, the vigorous patriarch of the Wagner family and its four-generations owned family business, has been murdered. His bookkeeper Abby Jarvis, whom Hardy had defended on a DUI charge eleven years prior, is the prime suspect after police discover she's been embezzling funds from the company--but she insists she did not kill her boss. As he prepares to defend her, Dismas investigates the Wagner clan and discovers the dark, twisted secrets within the family. It seems that Abby was not the only one who stood to profit from the company's $25 million dollar market value. From jealous children to gold-digging girlfriends, Dismas has his work cut out for him in sifting through mud flinging, backstabbing, and accusations of blackmail. But Dismas not only has to save his client's life but his own, as it soon becomes clear that someone has painted a target on his back, too."--Amazon.com.
