A Mysterious Review of Fatal by John Lescroart. A Novel of Suspense.
Review summary: This is an intense thriller with many facets. The large cast of characters are well-drawn and have unique identities. The lead detective is sharply written, who balances her professional and personal lives all while investigating a puzzling murder that involves a long-time friend. Her return would be most welcome to readers of this terrific novel. (Click here for text of full review.)

Publisher synopsis: Kate loves her life. At forty-four, she’s happily married to her kind husband, Ron, blessed with two wonderful children, and has a beautiful home in San Francisco. Everything changes, however, when she and Ron attend a dinner party and meet another couple, Peter and Jill. Kate and Peter only exchange a few pleasant words but that night, in bed with her husband, Kate is suddenly overcome with a burning desire for Peter.
What begins as an innocent crush soon develops into a dangerous obsession and Kate’s fixation on Peter results in one intense, passionate encounter between the two. Confident that her life can now go back to normal, Kate never considers that Peter may not be so willing to move on.
Not long after their affair, a masked man barges into the café Kate is sitting in with her best friend, firing an assault weapon indiscriminately into the crowd. This tragedy is the first in a series of horrifying events that will show Kate just how grave the consequences of one mistake can be.
