Race riots ... in San Francisco?
- By Snoodely on 02-10-10
By: John Lescroart
Publisher's summary
With her unique blend of courtroom drama and feverish suspense, critically acclaimed author Jonnie Jacobs has won a legion of fans for her Kali O'Brien thrillers. Now the edgy San Francisco attorney is back to handle a simple adoption - and winds up defending her client for murder....
Straightforward and short term: that's precisely the kind of case Kali O'Brien needs at the moment. Yet the Harper adoption makes her uneasy from the start. Maybe it's because psychologist Steven Cross - a man whose path hasn't crossed hers since the tragedy that shattered his life and their forbidden relationship years ago - unexpectedly referred the couple to her. Or could it be that Ted and Terri Harper's previous brush with parenthood ended in heartache when the birth mother changed her mind?
This time around, the former star quarterback and his lovely blonde wife aren't taking any chances. They've even moved pregnant Melissa Burke into their lavish Pacific Heights home. As Kali watches her determined clients shower the lonesome teenager with love and attention, she can't help wondering just how desperate they are to claim the unborn child. When Melissa delivers a healthy baby girl and promptly signs the final adoption papers, Kali breathes a sigh of relief...until Bram Weaver surfaces.
The controversial, chauvinistic radio talk show host announces he's the baby's father - a claim Melissa can't dispute. With a sinking heart, Kali prepares to defend the Harpers in a bitter custody battle that's certain to end in the birth father's favor - until the case takes a shocking turn when somebody murders Weaver. Despite Terri Harper's staunch denial, the police have compelling evidence linking her to the crime, leaving Kali to wonder how far an emotionally fraught new mother will go to protect her child.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic.

Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be. So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

Story
Mackenzie "Mack" Dalton is a Milwaukee bar owner with a nose for trouble - literally. A neurological glitch has left her with extra-perceptive senses. So when she stumbles upon a dead body in the alley behind the bar - the same spot where her own father was shot eight months earlier - she can tell right away there's something fishy in the air. The lead detective thinks there's a link between the two deaths, and he'll need Mack's help to sniff out the murderer. But when all the evidence points to her as the most likely culprit, it could be an early last call for Mack.

Didn't see that coming
Any additional comments?
Even though this is the 4th book in the series, you do not need to read the other books to enjoy this story.
What should be a simple adoption case turns into a murder mystery legal drama of who did it. Enjoyable and entertaining story.
I thought I had it all figured out pretty early into the story. I was wrong. Did not see that ending coming. That doesn't happen to often. While there is some suspense and drama it is pretty mild. Not overly graphic or gruesome. Really good plot that keeps you guessing.
This is my first Jonnie Jacobs book and I need to go back and read the rest
.
This is the first time I have listened to Cindy Piller narrate a book. She did a good job. She has a nice pleasant voice, easy on the ears. Although there is not really any difference between her male and female voices. This makes it difficult at times to tell who is speaking right away. But I would definitely listen to her again.

Gritty Sweet Suspense
This installment of Witness of the Defense is a nice round up of courtroom procedural, complex relationships, glimmers of romance, and plenty of suspense. Some things are fairly predictable, but there is no easy answer to the ultimate “whodunit,” at least not for me. Author Jonnie Jacobs gives us a first person account of attorney Kali O’Brien’s defense investigation into a murder of an unlikable character. Jacobs does a great job developing a variety of personalities, from angry young adults to bitter mid-lifers. There’s even a sweet newborn, around whom the story evolves. No one character stands out as outrageous or super exceptional, but each of their respective subtle idiosyncrasies works well to hold the story in an engaging light.
Narrator Cindy Pillar has a crisp, articulate voice. She did not differentiate much between male and female characters, which IMHO is a nice to have that would have upped the enjoyment factor. More distracting was the fact that her voice sounds significantly older than the thirty-something main character, Kali O’Brien, as well as other characters.

Decent
When Kali says yes to a simple adoption case, she has no idea that it will drag her back into the life of Steven Cross. The adoption soon turns sour and Steven's sister is accused of the murder. Kali agrees to represent Terry Harper against her better judgment.
I was kept interested and enjoyed a lot of this book. There were some areas where there could have been more foreshadowing and the wrap up could have definitely been done better but for the most part it was a good legal thriller.
The narration was done well by Cindy Piller. I enjoyed her male and female voices and her delivery was above average. I did listen on 1.5 speed.
I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom! and am leaving honest feedback about the quality of the material.

Another great story in this series
If you could sum up Witness for the Defense in three words, what would they be?
WTF
What did you like best about this story?
I love the suspense and drama associated with an attorney mystery because they don't have the limits that police do when it comes to gathering information. I also enjoy listening to this narrator she makes it easy to. Rawl inside a book.

Enjoyed every moment of it
If you like court room drama, suspense mystery and love stories all in one then this book is for you. Even if you haven't read any other books in the series you won't be lost. Great storyline that brings several mysteries into one. While giving away the suspect and seeing the evil done through his eyes the author keeps you guessing with other suspects before tying it all in together. Truly awesome! Narrators make the book when listening to audio books and I can honestly say in my opinion I found Cindy Piller perfect for giving all characters their own personality.

What did you like best about this story?
I totally enjoyed this audio book. I thought I had predicted the ending fairly early on and it turned out that for all my smugness Jacobs had tricked me with a surprising conclusion I never saw coming.

Somewhat predictable ending
Would you try another book from Jonnie Jacobs and/or Cindy Piller?
Possibly
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The general idea was fine and there were ample mis-directs sprinkled throughout the narrative, but the plot was wildly convoluted and the major factors of the story wrap-up were largely predictable.
What about Cindy Piller’s performance did you like?
Piller has a good narrator's voice and is pleasing to listen to.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Probably not.

I never saw that coming!
Would you listen to Witness for the Defense again? Why?
Yes, now that I know the ending I can look for clearer clues.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Twists and turns held me spellbound.
Which character – as performed by Cindy Piller – was your favorite?
Steven was charming and disarming. Who knew his dark side?!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was shocked when Rudd's mom was beaten.
Any additional comments?
Jonnie Jacobs never fails to deliver a suspenseful mystery!
