Lescroart's latest novel is a thrilling court drama that pits the accused Jennifer Witt, who is being tried for three murders, against a jury that believes she is guilty. Narrator David Colacci gives a rousing performance that draws listeners into the story with its emotional honesty and believable characters. Colacci taps into his feminine side for his role as Witt, relating her struggles, secrets, and emotions with a rawness that is at once empathetic and realistic. As Investigator/Defense Attorney Dismas Hardy, Colacci is firm and unwavering, reading with a solid voice that brings an air of the classic deep-throated detective and creates a noir atmosphere. -- AudioFile
