“Damage” is a San Francisco based detective novel by John Lescroart. It features newly elected District Attorney, former defense attorney, Wes Farrell, and Abe Glitsky. Farrell doesn’t even get his furniture in his office when he has to deal with a crime spree spread by the son of a rich and powerful San Francisco newspaper family who it happened were big contributors to his campaign.
Farrell has his hands full trying to deal with the situation while dealing with complicated San Franciso politics.
I found the political angle to be quite distracting while reading the book and never quite got into it. What kept me going though was uncertainties about who the bad guys really are and even then, did the bad guys do all the bad stuff? Maybe not?
I give the book 2.5 stars out of five. I mean it is worth reading but I’m glad I got it at the library instead of downloading on the Kindle. I’m intrigued enough though that I’ll be looking for more Lescroart books.
I’m not familiar with him, but I’ll give a look at the library, just because I do trust your “reviews” and haven’t been disappointed so far!! Have a great day!

I’ve read a couple of Lescroart’s books so I may pick this one up at my library.
I’m not familiar with this author. But I like the books to be rated 4 stars before I’ll consider them. Maybe I’m a book snob.
I’m reading a silly book right now and it’s not as good as the other two I’ve read. And it was my first purchase on my kindle. I’m so embarrassed that i’m reading this stupid book, I won’t even tell you what the title is! No, it’s not a smut book either!
Meh. I tried to read it I think and didn’t quite get into it. And I never ever force myself to read a book I don’t enjoy!
Sounds like too much detail got in the way of the basic plot. I’ll look for the author, though, if he’s at the local library.
I’m a bookseller, Lescroart is an author I haven’t gotten around to, yet. So many books, so little time.
Not read his books…
Your blog is just beautiful, explored a bit and the pics are awesome!!
Loved it..
Have a good day:)
I’ll mention your review to WP, he likes detective stories and mysteries a lot. In fact, devours three or four per week.
