Degree of Guilt Audiobook

" I'm a fan of Richard North Patterson. Not only are his books well-written, but they often incorporate ethical challenges faced by his characters. This particular book was beautifully written, had well-developed characters whom I cared about and who intrigued me, and had an elegant plot that came together in the end. "

" A reasonably good read. I sometimes found the characters far fetched, and I'm not quite sure that I bought into the ending ...but entertaining and distracting which is what I look for in a "page turner". "

" Great murder mystery. I love Patterson's hero, Christopher Paget. He's endearing, smart, likable. For mature readers given the specifics of the murder. "

" I started this book in March. It started off with a lot of promise. Unfortunately, about 1/3 of the way through I realized I simply didn't like any of the characters so it was hard to care what became of them. At that point Degree of Guilt became my back up book, to be read when nothing better was on my night stand. After a couple months so I started skipping through. I probably read the first third, a few short middle sections and the final 5% so maybe I inadvertently skipped over some great parts that would have drawn me back in, but I don't think so. Time to put it on my did-not-finish shelf. "

" It kept you guessing almost to the end, not whether she killed her adversary, but what was her motivation to kill him. Was she guilty of murder or was it self-defense? "

" Very good book. Great character development, like able and realistic. "

" older book, sounded very 90's, materialistic "

" I really liked this book...it kept me guessing about what really happened. "

" Very good legal thriller, looking forward to reading "Eyes of a child" "

" Good story but seemed too long for the action. "

" A true mystery by a gifted author. A screenplay of this book has aired several times on Lifetime or an affiliate station. James David Elliott of JAG fame stars. Very good read, and very good movie. "

" Good page-turner. Also thoughtful about various contexts of sexual violence towards women - within and without marriage. Do we make the word rape work too hard to cover these - or not hard enough? "

" Mary Carelli is one fine character and it was written so well, loved it thank you for keeping me so intrigued "

" This was a readable effort, but really it offered no suprises and if you couldn't figure out what was what in the first few pages, you must not have been paying attention. However Patterson does create believable characters and catch your interests. "

" I would like to say that I enjoyed this book, but enjoy is the wrong word as some of the writing was very graphic (I now know that I have led a very sheltered life), but I was gripped by the book and quite literally couldn't put it down. "

" one of the best of his books "

" Great read 3rd person Om to follow. Enjoyed. An early court case and acquittal of a woman then lost scope of where this story was going, however over all, the personal relationship of son being raised by a friend and not the real father. "
