Summary: not a who done it..but how and why he done it.
Comment: Maybe I should not have read one of your readers reviews of this book before I read it myself, but I thought it might be good. Some your readers deadpaned the book through the first 300 pages. Most people assume who the killer is, but it is not enntirely certain until the last few chapters. I feel that GUILT is dealing with the loyalty of friendships and the trust broken...even by long time friends. Guilt is an excellent adventure into human relationships and how some people will use those relationships for their own selfishnefss. I love any type of courtroom novels, and there were some good ones here, but it was the mystery and well developed characters that kept me reading and turning the pages. This is one of the best "legal novels" written by a non lawyer. This is a must read for any serious legal, thrill reader!

Summary: This is a good read, but too slow in coming to a climax.
Comment: I've enjoyed all this author's previous books, and found this book not up to Lescroart's standard as I thought of him. "Guilt" was too loosely written, and in my opinion had too many characters. Glitsky and Dooher's characters were handled nicely, I thought, but Wes Farrell never developed, I could never figure out what kind of a guy he was. Further,the D.A. and officer Thieu had no depth.Thieu, in particular shuld have been developed more. At the end, the climax was not gripping like the author's previous books.I could, and did, put it down several time's during the last 50 to 100 pages, to do my chores. Lescroart's earlier books did not allow me to abandon them for any reason until it was finished.

Summary: Extremely interesting gimmick
Comment: I found the book interesting and a good read. I've been a Lescroart fan since "The 13th Juror," and truly feel like the San Francisco about which he writes actually exists.
But there's something more here, and if someone has brought it up already, then please forgive the redundancy.
In "Guilt," Lescroart has done something very clever. If you read the previous novel, "A Certain Justice," then you already know the identity of the killer in "Guilt." That's because most of "Guilt" takes place prior to "A Certain Justice."
Chronologically, "A Certain Justice" takes place within the pages of "Guilt," and the later novel gives a brief summary of the prior novel's events at the appropriate point.
It's an interesting approach. They're both terrific novels, and while I missed Dismas Hardy, it was good to spend time getting to know Glitsky. I highly recommend both books.
