Title: Almost a contender
Product review: This book started well and had a good sense of place (San Francisco).The plot had some interesting twists. However many of the book's events seemed contrived just to further the plot and didn't seem like normal occurrences within the book's fictional world.It's another one of those mysteries where the case is eventually resolved in spite of the lawyer/detective rather than because of him.The reader did a creditable job, though his voicings for some of the Latino and Asian characters were highly stereotyped.In short the book had some merits but by the end it made for frustrating listening.
