Review: Guilt by Degrees by Marcia Clark

Publish Date: May 8, 2012
Publisher: Mulholland Books
Series: Rachel Knight #2

Synopsis: 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.

Review: Another home run with this book, the second in the Rachel Knight series. This book was a page turner from beginning to end. It was more suspenseful than the first in the series, especially when it came to the protagonist. She was a lot more involved in the drama and the action with this case. In terms of the plot, it was a bit confusing that the story was alternating between two characters, one of which you really didn't know. But once you find out who they are and how they connect to the rest of the story/case, it makes a lot more sense to the story. 

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I am looking forward to continuing read about Rachel Knight!
