Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Guilt and The 13th Juror comes an electrifying new thrillerâ??a novel in which San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy faces the case of his career. This time his family is involvedâ??and for Hardy, a devoted husband and father, the stakes have never been higher.

Dismas knows his wife, Frannie, is the most reliable of mothers. When she fails to pick up their children from school one afternoon, he's convinced something terrible has happened. It has: Frannie Hardy is in jail. Called before the grand jury in a murder investigation, she refused to reveal a secret entrusted to her by a man whose children attend the same school as hers, a friend who is accused of killing his wife. But now he has disappeared. Hardy knows there's only one way to get Frannie out of jail: clear her friend of murder. That is, if he can be found.

As he moves through a labyrinthine world of big business and San Francisco politics, looking for a man he half hopes never to find, a furious and frustrated Hardy is struggling to understand why his impeccably faithful wife is being so loyal to another man. What kind of truth could keep a wife from her husband, a mother from her childrenâ??could hold Hardy so powerless before the wrath of the law?

With an unparalleled ability to illuminate the complexities of relationships while weaving a story of breathtaking suspense, Lescroart has never been in finer form. And Nothing But the Truth is his fin

Another winner by John Lescroart. Lots of interaction between Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitzky, which is always entertaining. This one had a lot going on, a few surprises, and lots of generally good reading, or in my case, listening. By the way, the narrator of these audiobooks is very good, in my opinion, so if you want to try an audiobook, you can't go wrong with one in this series.

Sometimes I feel a bit guilty reading his books because so far, they all seem to have a happy ending. The good guys win, the bad guys lose. It makes things a little more predictable, but I don't know if that's really a bad thing if the story is entertaining. It doesn't matter, I'm going to keep reading his books and enjoying them, even if they aren't fine literature (whatever that is). ( )

John Lescroart's series with Dismas Hardy, wife Frannie, friend and Head Homicide Detective Abe Glitsky, and brother-in-law (Frannie's brother) Moses McGuire, are characters that the reader comes to know more intimately than in some legal thrillers. This novel accelerates the reader to the edge of their seat (and especially the series reader who knows that dedicated and loving Mother Frannie) would never miss picking up her children from school. Where is Frannie? For Dismas as husband, father, and particularly as defense attorney, it is the last place on earth that he would ever think to find his own wife and mother of his children. The legal venue of Nothing But the Truth takes the reader into the courtroom with a view of a grand jury setting, a corporate view of big oil industries, and the politics in the court house, the police department, and back to big oil companies for the political view. But between all those lines are the daily lives of the characters as they try to deal with the challenges of everyday life - work, family, friends - and always wondering if a work/home balance is even possible.

A long, basically silly book about (primarily) lawyers duking it out verbally in front of judges. A book with many industry facts for those who scare easily about carcinogenic fuel additives.
Tip: I read the first 100 pages (the first 80 are the best, but beware the cover has a spoiler for this section- I would rip cover off.) and then skipped to the last 100 pages reducing the word load by 400 (almost) pages. In doing so, I was not confused about plot or characters, and I had no problems filling in the middle chunk. You might try the same. ( )

I liked it, but it was a bit long and overly complicated. I did find it intriguing with some rather clever mystery-story twists and turns. It was a page-turner, as they say. Not his best, but readable! ( )

At the tail end of a dog of a morning, Dismas Hardy was beginning to fear that he would also be spending the whole stiflingly dull afternoon in municipal court on the second floor of the Hall of Justice in San Francisco.
