Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
He is obsessed with her innocence. He will be destroyed by her guilt.
The walls were champagne. The house was immaculate. A prosperous doctor lived there with his son and his beautiful wife. But the elegant walls hid a family's secret, a wife's shame. And one day shots rang out in the doctor's house. Suddenly Jennifer Witt was in jail, facing the death penalty.
Jennifer insisted that she had not killed her abusive husband -- and she could never have killed her own son. Dismas Hardy believed her. But Hardy was only part of the defense team, and the only lawyer who continued to believe her...even as her story was torn to pieces, even as her lies came out, even as she was found guilty of murder.
Now there's only one thing Jennifer can do to save her life...and she refuses to do it. So Hardy must do it for her. And in a shocking case of violence, betrayal, and lies, his only weapon is the truth...
The 13th Juror...When innocence is not enough.

I haven't read the Dismas Hardy novels in order and perhaps that would be the best way to do them. But I thought this novel stood on its own quite well.
I kept trying to guess how it would end and was mostly wrong every time! Lescroart has written some really interesting characters and a plot that brings the reader through the long process of a capital murder trial.
If you like courtroom dramas, you will definitely like this book. I think even readers who aren't big fans of legal thrillers will also enjoy it because much of the book takes place outside the courtroom.

Not his best book but way above so many authors. Worth your time to read.

In fiction, genius lies in great characters. John Lescroart's characters are three dimensional. They laugh, they cry, they fail, they triumph; and they move the story along through complicated twists and turns of the plot. I read this the very first of my John Lescroart's (pronounced Less-kwah)books in one sitting. I began on a Tuesday around 6:00 a.m. Nothing got done in my house. No cooking, no cleaning, no answering the telephone. When I finished THE 13TH JUROR around 12 midnight, I finally went to sleep only to awaken early to call my friend of 55 years, Rheta; made a beeline for her house, made a gift of THE 13TH JUROR; returned home, and ordered all the rest of Lescroart's books still in print along with another copy of THE 13TH JUROR for my private library.
The story line is carried by the characters. There is a tender and romantic love story between Dismas Hardy and his wife. There is a surpise ending, but I can guarantee JUSTICE. Rheta loved it too.

Lescroart is one of the best popular writers out there -- certainly equal to if not better than my those in my short pantheon of writing wizards: Michael Connelly, Crais, Griffen, and a few others. Not only is this a gripping legal procedural, it gives sharp insight into the mind of domestic abusers and abusees. His courtroom dialogs especially are unsurpassed and reek of realism. Lescroart's plots are usually fairly predictible -- he always pulls something out of his sleeve at the end of the story -- and this is no exception. But that does not take away one iota from the enjoyment and excitement of his work. This is one of his best, and I've read them all.
