guilt

i have read many mystery novels but this book by john lescroart was one of the best. could not put it down, the suspense just built until the final page. his characters and story line were well developed and his descriptions were great.

NO SLEEP UNTIL THE END!!!

I AM USUALLY SO SUSPICIOUS ABOUT "PAGE TURNER" REVIEWS. A REVIEW ON THE BACK COVER OF "GUILT" WARNED ME THAT I SHOULD READ IT OVER A WEEKEND. OF COURSE I CHUCKLED AND WENT AHEAD. WELL, I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT...I WAS THE "PAGE TURNER" AND I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. THE ENDING IS KILLER, A COMPLETE SURPRISE AND SO SATISFYING. MY HUSBAND AND SON ARE FIGHTING OVER WHO GETS IT NEXT. THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR!!

not a who done it..but how and why he done it.

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!
