Synopsis

When a Palm Beach widow dies, the dispute over her will turns deadly in this “breathlessly paced legal thriller” from a New York Times–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).

In the second title in the Suspicion series, Suspicion of Guilt, Gail has the biggest case of her life—a career maker and a guarantee that partnership will soon be hers—until she discovers that a suspected forgery is only the top layer of a cover-up for brutal murder and a step into deep conspiracy and deadly risk.

Suspicion of Guilt is the 2nd book in the Suspicion series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

From AudioFile:

SUSPICION OF GUILT transports the listener to a world of deceit, conspiracy, passion and murder. Barbara Rosenblat's no-nonsense portrayal of Gail Connor, a skillful sleuth and accomplished attorney in steamy South Miami, is excellent. She artfully depicts Connor as a considerate and concerned single parent; a passionate lover; and a terrified, yet capable, victim. Character transitions pose no problem for Rosenblat as she adeptly introduces the listener to many characters, including a street-wise detective, temperamental artists, narcissistic legal partners and a psychotic killer. As the suspense builds, Rosenblat manages to sustain the momentum, guaranteeing the listener a hair-raising adventure. This is an action-packed story enhanced by creative narration. B.J.P.
