The Oath by John Lescroart

4.0

This is a well written mystery that starts out as a hit and run but turns into a murder mystery. There is a also a medical malpractice investigation tied into the case. This is book 8 in the series but it read ok as a stand alone. Dismas Hardy is a lawyer hired by Dr.Eric Kensing, a prime suspect in the murder. Abe Glitsky is Hardy's friend and head of the San Francisco homicide squad. There are other characters who evidently have recurring roles in the series, but Hardy and Glitsky are the main characters and on opposite sides of this case.
This book started off slow but held my interest throughout. I was not sure who the murderer was until almost the end. This book was lent to me by a relative who enjoys Lescroart's books.
I like his ability to describe body language: "She smiled with all the warmth of a cobra."
