This was an okay read. The first 80% of the story was not stellar. I wasn't really drawn into the plot and felt no connection with any of the characters. The ending was good, however, with some action and surprises. Would recommend to fans of the author who don't mind a slow-moving mystery.
3.75Nominally this is a series. The connecting thread is Det. Max Rupert and he does appear here but his participation is almost tangential? The story centers on the murder of an heiress and who killed her. While the story serves to further the ongoing story of Max's wife's murder the bulk of it has to do with the murder and the trial.If you don't know much about the criminal justice system you'll have a good time. sentences are not handed down directly after verdicts [a:Allen Eskens 7832387 Allen Eskens https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1402189882p2/7832387.jpg] delivers a good story for the crime neophytes and the AB will keep your ears happy. However if like myself you've trod this ground via RL, other murder mysteries, or even movies like Primal Fear then you'll be in known territory. Not a bad thing. But no surprises either. Hopefully the next book will have Det. Rupert more center stage as he seems to be good cop but a flawed individual. I'm intrigued.
