Beyond Suspicion
Summary
Miami lawyer Jack Swyteck is in trouble. With more than a decade of experience in the criminal courts, Jack doesn't handle many civil cases. But this one is different. His ex-girlfriend is being sued because she thought she was going to die.
When Jessie Merrill was diagnosed with a deadly disease, she worked a deal with an insurance company to get cash fast. In exchange, a group of wealthy investors were supposed to collect on the policy at her death. But Jessie was misdiagnosed, and the investors want their money back. Now.
At the trial, Jack pulls off a brilliant victory and Jessie gets to keep the $1.5 million from the investors. Two days later, her body turns up in Jack's bathtub. As the evidence mounts against him, Jack finds himself on a collision course with dark secrets from the past and a possible killer who is beyond suspicion.
Critic reviews
"This is a top-notch adventure with plenty of supercharged excitement....The novel is chock-full of legal-thriller atmosphere and local color, and it's easily a match for anything written by big names such as Grisham or Margolin or Lescroart." ( Booklist)

one star for the SPOILER
Talk about putting people off, man after reading what happens in the book there's not much point in buying it, is there? I really didn't need to know what happened to the lassie, I'd much rather have found that out while listening to the book, know what I mean? No more big spoilers in the reviews please.

Bad plot, unsympathetic characters
Even at five and a half hours this book dragged on and on, with preposterous plot twists, a foray into the Russian mob with a mysterious government informant, and the main character going around accusing half the characters of murder before getting it right. What are supposed to be stunning relevations at the end come out dry and unbelievable. Don't waste your time or money.
