Description

Tough-as-nails criminal defense attorney Jane Smith has a terminal diagnosis, so she'll have to work fast to get to the truth of a murder in this thrill ride from the world's #1 bestselling author.

Jane Smith is hip-deep in the murder trial of the century. Actually, her charmless client might’ve committed several murders.

But Jane doesn’t have much time. She’s just been informed she has twelve months to live—unless she’s murdered before her expiration date.

"Patterson and Lupica make a great team."—Carl Hiassen, bestselling author of Bad Monkey

  • Another Series!

    5 Stars. What a fun read! Patterson is the greatest at these fun, quick, unputdownable books, the ones I think of as “Summer Reads” even though I enjoy them year round. I think this is my first exposure to Lupica. It did not disappoint. The cast of characters was top notch as was the mystery. Looks like we have another excellent series to read.
  • Page turner!

    Page turner for sure. Dialogue is bit stifled at times, combo of DeLuca and Patterson works very well.
  • At a loss

    For two experienced writers, this is a poor effort. The sentence structure is very choppy, I often had to reread sentences over and over. This writing reminded me of those old back and white detective movies where the lead detective narrated everything in a voice over. Just terrible
  • Fun quick reading whodunnit

    Fast paced whodunnit with likeable lead characters, including our female Defense Attorney and her crusty former NYPD detective as investigating sidekick…along with very distasteful defendant and bad guys. Fun quick read.

    Unless there will be a sequel, the ending was not good. A sequel could turn it around but as a whole, it was the first disappointing Patterson book I’ve read. A lot of little loose ends.
  • Disappointing at best

    This tome is overburdened by page filling text! The stories with the story are so overwritten that is was an obvious effort to simply make a marginal plot longer. And the ending, not to spoil anything, is frankly way below Patterson’s standards.
  • Good read

    It was a little slow to get going but then it was hard to put down.
