Dan Cuneo, the officer already working the case, is immediately wary of Glitsky and doesn't hide his distrust. Matters are made worse when Cuneo starts to focus on his primary suspect - who also happens to be an old girlfriend of Dismas Hardy. For Hardy and Glitsky, this is an awkward and uncomfortable coincidence. But for Cuneo, it's proof positive of collusion, and yet another instance of Glitsky cheating with his insider friends and cronies.
Convinced that Hardy's client is the wrong suspect, Glitsky breaks ranks within the police department to continue his own investigation. As Hardy's murder trial builds to its stunning conclusion, Glitsky's search for the truth does more than fuel suspicion against the two men. It reveals a trail of deception that leads beyond San Francisco, where exposing desperate secrets can be the most deadly offense.

Colacci does his usual excellent work as narrator. Highly recommended.
One of the best of the great Hardy-Glitsky series.

I think I would have liked more integration of the various story lines rather than what felt like discrete parts. Glitsky played a stronger role, which I do like, and Franny fell into the same old "perfect wife" role that Trea also does.
Not my favorite, but not the least liked either.
Pretty good ... with reservation

This particular book is divided into three parts. The first part, as I recall it, is more of an introduction to the characters and situation than anything else. The second part is a trial, and the third part sort of ties up loose ends and gives motivation and the reason for the whole situation. It was done well, but original alliances and character likes and dislikes are muddied, and in the end, the reader's not sure whether or not to agree with the actions and outcomes around the main character of the third part!
Not wanting to spoil the book or the plot with this review, I really can't be more specific, but Lescroart weaves a complex and satisfying plot with several characters whose personalities are mixed. Excellent book!

There are plenty of interacdtions between characters. The story pits Glitsky against the detective assigned to the case and the main suspect is one of Hardy's old girlfriends. Glitsky and Hardy are also worried about the spectre of their role in a police shooting that they were involved in many years ago. The courtroom scenes are good with Hardy doing an excellent and clever job of cross examining the prosecution witnesses.
The story is very entertaining but it lags in two areas. Unfortunately, it starts with a note all the interesting, VERY detailed of the burning of a house...although this is when the bodies are discovered, I was getting very impatient with the speed of the story. The other place was in some personal, non crime related, issues that came up for Glitsky...although I'm sure there are some fans who liked getting to know Glitsky in a deeper way, this side story had nothing to do with the main story (near as I could tell) other than to distract Glitsky. I estimate the book could have been 10% or more shorter if there was less detail about the fire and Glitsky's personal traumas without harming the story.
However, don't let that take away from the story. I loved it and would recommend it highly. Enjoy.
Another good SF murder mystery

I was particularly interested in learning more about the crisis and struggles in Algérie between the French supported FNL and Islamic resistance.
My favorite book in the Hardy/ Glitsky series so far

What did you like best about The Motive? What did you like least?
Not finished with book yet.What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Not finished with book yet.What three words best describe David Colacci’s voice?
I usually like Colacci's narration a lot, but this time he doesn't seem to be into it. The Abe Glitsky voice is only marginally similar to the voice Colacci has used for Abe in all of the other Lescroart books I've listened to in the past. Had I listened to this one first, I might feel differently, but since I've come to expect that gravely, sarcastic tone when Abe speaks, I'm a little disappointed in this reading.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
