Beginning:
Prologue

He stood still, listening as the car pulled out of the driveway

Chapter One

He moved with purpose. That alone might have drawn attention to the man in the soiled wool overcoat, but the postlunch crowd was a briskly flowing river of bodies.
Friday 56:
I tried to keep the triumphant note out of my voice. "You've got my word, Walter. I'll be so civilzed, you won't even believe it's me."
This week I am reading Guilt by Degrees by Marcia Clark. This book has been on my TBR mountain since July 23, 2014. Here is the description from Amazon:
Someone has been watching D.A. Rachel Knight--someone who's Rachel's equal in brains, but with more malicious intentions. It began when a near-impossible case fell into Rachel's lap, the suspectless homicide of a homeless man. In the face of courthouse backbiting and a gauzy web of clues, Rachel is determined to deliver justice. She's got back-up: tough-as-nails Detective Bailey Keller. As Rachel and Bailey stir things up, they're shocked to uncover a connection with the vicious murder of an LAPD cop a year earlier. Something tells Rachel someone knows the truth, someone who'd kill to keep it secret.

Harrowing, smart, and riotously entertaining, GUILT BY DEGREES is a thrilling ride through the world of LA courts with the unforgettable Rachel Knight.

  8. Wow - that must be a big TBR pile, if it's still got books from 2014. I cleaned mine out the other day - removing some, and reading others, and I feel so much better. I like the look of this one, though...
