Dismas Hardy/David Freerman defend "difficult" wife caused of murdering her husband and son. (

I've now read several of his books recently, and it seems they have a pattern where things progress/regress to a seemingly hopeless situation, then some miracle comes along at the end to solve the problem, often in a pretty surprising way. But perhaps that's common with a lot of mysteries.

This was one of those stories where I began to think she should just be abandoned - she was so self-destructive and uncooperative, even dumb, that at times I thought she didn't deserve so much help. But that was the point, I think. She was driven to this state from her childhood, and acted the way she did because she felt the same way about herself. Everything was her fault, the men were always right, and she deserved to be punished. And the worst part was that these feelings frustrated people to the point where they felt like knocking some sense into her head, which a few seemed to succumb to doing. Fortunately, I was unable to do this, as she was protected by being inside a book. (

This is another Dismis Hardy story - the ex-policeman, kind of lawyer guy. It's long - in fact, I picked it up off the used bookshelf because it was fat and I needed a nice long read. This one fit the bill perfectly. Dismis is trying to decide what to do with his life. He's had good offers from real law firms but he can't bring himself to do it. So he rents space from the best, most odious defense lawyer in town. And while his landlord is tied up in court, Dismis gets the case that propels him through this book. Did Jennifer Witt kill her doctor husband and small son or not? A fine read. (
