The Motive Audiobook

" This was a good one. My favorite characters (Abe and Dismas) involved in solving the crime of who murdered a man and his fiance and then burnt his house down around him. Good one about a mixed up family and a good twist at the end (although it wasn't too hard to guess the twist--girlfriend did it and framed daughter-in-law). Liked it, will keep it on my shelves. "

" Similar pace and style to the rest of the Dis Hardy series. Not the best, not the worst. "

" I like legal thrillers that have some historical background. "

" Really good. Kept we wondering if the bad guys might win or the somewhat tainted heroine may lose. Dismas and Abe at their finest. Its a good Idea to read past books cuz some of that info is required to keep up with this story. "

" Not a bad instalment to the long running Hardy / Glitsky series. This time sees the pair caught up in a high profile murder trial, intricate details aplenty concerning past incidents keep this entertaining for fans of the series. Decent read - 3.5 stars. "

" I like the lead up and legal case in this book from Lescroart but not the ending. The book starts when the home of a powerful patron of San Francisco politics home is burned to the ground and the bodies of both he and his fiance are found in the ashes. Further investigation reveals that they were both shot before the fire making it a murder investigation. Dismas hardy becomes involved when his ex-girlfriend the daughter-in-law of the deceased is charged with the crime. Nice investigation and court case back and forth but as I started off the ending comes of kind of unrealistic and flat. "

" One of my new favorite authors! "

" Yes, I like John Lescroart! "

" Added this review years after reading the book. Don't remember much other than what's in the description. "

" I'm liking Dismas Hardy more and more though Harry Bosche is still my favorite. In this book, Dismas has to defend the daughter-in-law of a wealthy man who was killed in a fire and who also happens to be an old girlfriend "

" One of my favorite authors "

" Like Lescroart but not my favorite slow read "

" It's one you don't like to put down. "

" This is the first of his books I have read but it won't be the last. A really good read. "

" I'm just discovering this author and really like the suspense in his novels. This was a good one. No violence; lots of mystery; lots of twists. "

" Yep - really liked this one. It moves fast, has Hardy and Glitsky who I find humorous characters and few story twists to keep you guessing. "

" This book was ok. Started slow just like most Lescroat books, but was still a good courtroom drama book. "

" Good mystery. Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitzky are friends in search of the killer of a prominent San Francisco attorney and his fiancee. Dismas is defending a friend accused of the murder but believes in her innocence. Abe is trying to check on some faulty police work. A very good who done it. "

" The book was ok - but if I'm going to read a "thrilling page turner" I will stick with Dean Koontz until I've read all of his books. "
