REVIEW

Beyond Reasonable Doubt by Robert Dugoni

Keera Duggan #2

Twisted tricky thought-provoking legal thriller that drew me in, made me care, and kept me intrigued till the final page.

What I liked:

* Keera Duggan: brilliant, strategic thinker, responsible, dealing with moving from state prosecutor to private practice defense law, loves her family, chess prodigy, sister, has personal-family-work issues to deal with, competitive, learned and grew in this book

* The Duggan Family’s dynamics and learning more about the impact of alcohol on all of them

* Detective Frank Rossi: bright, professional, honest, diligent, mathematical, wants to have a family someday, could see him with Keera in the future…maybe

* P. J. Harrison: ex-detective now private eye used by the Duggan law firm, wise, steadying, intriguing

* The police procedural aspects and how the process was similar and different for the police and Keera – prosecution vs defense

* The plot, pacing, setting, writing

* The backstory of interactions between Keera and her client Jenna

* A quote I wrote down that Rossi’s father liked to say: “If you take sh*t to heart, you die with a heart full of sh*t.

* The way the whodunnit played out with clues offered, followed, and the way the puzzle pieces slotted together – and – the big surprise(s) toward the end

* Knowing that there will be another book in the series

* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about the negative impact alcohol can have

* Trying to figure out how some of the characters in this book could end up so warped and evil

Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

A master manipulator accused of murder. An attorney sworn to defend her. Keera Duggan returns in a riveting novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni. When Jenna Bernstein, disgraced wunderkind CEO of a controversial biotech company, is accused of murdering her former partner and lover, she turns to Seattle attorney Keera Duggan to defend her. Keera is more than a master chess player who brings her intuitive moves into court—she’s Jenna’s childhood friend. But considering their history, Keera knows that where Jenna goes, trouble follows. Three years earlier, Keera’s father successfully defended Jenna when she was tried for the killing of her company’s chief medical scientist who threatened to go public with allegations of corporate fraud. Keera knows Jenna too well. When she was a kid, Keera saw Jenna for what she a manipulative and frighteningly controlling sociopath. Now, with only circumstantial evidence against Jenna, Keera is willing to bury any trepidation she might have to defend a woman she believes, this time, to be innocent. As the investigation gets underway and disturbing questions arise, Keera puts her trust in a client who swears nothing but the truth. If this is all just another devious game, Keera might be working to set a murderer free.

REVIEW

One Last Kill by Robert Dugoni

Tracy Crosswhite #10

Okay…being honest…on the fence on this one. I still like Tracy, loved seeing a negative colleague emerge less of a douche, and am still curious about what will happen next. I just checked and missed out on many of the books in the series…seven of them…and wonder how that would impact my take on this book. That said…easily a read-a-lone book and no previous books needed.

So…this book…after of a day of gluttonous pre-thanksgiving potluck  feasting in Lebanon, I came home to finish this book. Yes, I am behind in my reading commitments BUT I take those commitments seriously. And…the story flows easily and well till one point about page 230 on my copy that had one of the main characters willingly handing off information to a colleague rather than processing it themselves. Not easy to give credence to but, I did move on.

I came away wondering what would warp a character enough in a book like this to have the decisions made…made. Would it be the childhood lived, seeing a parent disparaged and left behind, and knowing wanting vengeance is a real thing but…not sure the vehicle of vengeance in this story was…looking for a term…commensurate with the actions that occurred and needed to be addressed.

That said, Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

Detective Tracy Crosswhite draws a long-dormant serial killer out of hiding in a nerve-shattering novel by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni. Tracy Crosswhite is reopening the investigation into Seattle’s Route 99 serial killer. After thirteen victims, he stopped hunting and the trail went cold, stirring public outrage. Now, nearly three decades after his first kill, Tracy is expected to finally bring closure to the victims’ families and redeem the Seattle PD’s reputation. Even if it means working with her nemesis, Captain Johnny Nolasco. Lead detective of the original task force, Nolasco dares Tracy to do what he failed to: close the case. Forming an uneasy alliance, Tracy and Nolasco revisit old leads and pursue new evidence only to unearth high-level corruption and cover-ups as dangerous as the elusive killer himself. At the risk of being exposed, such deadly and powerful forces will go to extremes to stay in the shadows. That’s just where Tracy and Nolasco are headed—to find the twisted truth behind a killer’s motives, his disappearance, and his chilling comeback.

[andallthatmerrymishigas]

what was the best book you read in 2022. i need recommendations for ‘23. i’ll hang up and let you answer.

So I catalog all the books I read on instagram (same handle if anyone else wants to follow me, I'm fun). I read 41 books in 2022 and some were fantastic. Here's some of the standouts:

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I love old Hollywood kind of stuff and female-focused stories. Ava Gardner is one of my personal heroes and I've read a lot about her and this book is VERY much based on her. Bit of Ava and Elizabeth Taylor (another favorite of mine), and I found the journey so compelling. Not perfect. Some of it bothered me a lot. Some of it pissed me off. BUT it was an amazing ride and I've thought about that look like every day since I read it.

The Bartender's Tale by Ivan Doig. This was a magical book. Just the way I got to read it and the story of a boy coming of age in the 1950s in a bar in Montana, and it's just so lovely. I really love stories of just like. A person's life. And this one was really well done and really lovely.

'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. I LOVE Stephen King. And this one is such a classic. And it's spooky and compelling and perfect. Not my absolute favorite Stephen King (Carrie and Pet Semetery, if you were interested), but it was such a great read. The storytelling and the prose of this man, I swear.

And honorable mention to a couple books from 2021 I loved: The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni, Before the Rain Falls by Camille de Maio, and Meet Me at the Museum by Anne Youngson.
