DESCRIPTION:
wendy jacobs said Another brilliant book from this author. Another brilliant book from this author. It holds your attention from beginning to end with an intriguing plot and very real characters.. A Customer said Brutal and disappointing. I'm a fan of his books, but I found this one very painful. I couldn't finish it. At a certain point, I skipped to the end to confirm that who I thought actually did it, actually did do it! I had the person pegged very early on. What's so painful about this particular book is the child abuse angle. I work with child sexual abuse victims and this is a very disturbing book to read through. I just couldn't stand it anymore, but I wanted to see how it would end. I liked the main characters (Paget and Terri) much more in the e. I do not recommend this book. A Customer A thoroughly dislikable book, with thoroughly dislikable characters, which made me thoroughly dislike the author. It is badly-written, with a contrived plot, and characters with totally unconvincing motives for example, a woman who professes great concern that her ex-husband may be mistreating their 5-year-old daughter, nevertheless leaves her daughter with her father so that she can go to Italy with her lover for two weeks to "decide on their future". The protagonists are unpleasant, selfish and self-centred, hypocritic
Or that Paget's own teenage son is the one who's accused of abusing Elena. The police investigation turns up all sorts of troubling data—a bitter estrangement between Ricardo and his wife, Terri; an ugly custody battle over their six-year-old daughter, Elena; charges of child molestation. But a series of long-hidden secrets—on both sides of the case—are slowly rising to the surface…and threaten to explode in the courtroom, where the final verdict will be delivered. A man has been found dead, a gun still wedged in his mouth. Where the truth about what really happened to Ricardo Arias will either be revealed—or buried for good. And before long there's a murder suspect: San Francisco defense attorney and political hopeful Christopher Paget.But where's the motive? It could be that Paget is Terri's new lover. It looks like Ricardo Arias killed himself…but the physical evidence tells a different story
