Guilt by Degrees by Marcia Clark
3.0
I gave this one a try as I was hoping it got better.. while the plot was a bit better this book had the same problems as book one. We're talking about a lot of food and clothing again and it doesn't help how things roll in my opinion. It makes it hard to focus on the plot and kept jumping around to different things. While we really didn't see Rachel in her office doing work, she was out of the office doing a lot of investigating. Which I can't help but to wonder about since the da's office has investigators so they don't have to get involved that deep or cops for the shoot outs that they had in the book.
Rachel's trying to figure out a murder of a homless person that leads to a cop previously killed. This is an interesting thing because the wife of the cop, is a suspect again and a lawyer who can get her way about anything. So I think that the plot is interesting but the subplot about Rachel's sister isn't exactly knee grabbing or the way the character acts about it. The way she acts seems childish and takes away from the character rather than build her up.
All in all this book is a 3 star, the writing jumps all over the place and focuses too much on clothing/food rather than the actual case and the character doesn't seem to have much development.
