District Attorney Kathryn Mackay finds herself the prime murder suspect in this mesmerizing thriller by New York Times bestselling author and real-life prosecutor Christine McGuire. Judge Jemima Tucker has been brutally murdered in her chambers at the Santa Rita County courthouse -- and Kathryn Mackay vows to bring her friend's killer to justice. But when both Tucker's husband and another judge become suspects, Kathryn ends up walking a minefield of deadly accusations. Meanwhile, Kathryn and her newly reconciled lover, Sheriff Dave Granz, bring an old enemy, Robert Simmons, back into custody. But when Simmons dies unexpectedly under Kathryn's sole supervision -- and the cause of death is found to be homicide -- Kathryn finds herself fighting for her job, her family, and her life. A shocking novel of murder and betrayal, Until the Final Verdict is suspense at its finest.
This was another great book in the series. However, I think it is about time to close up to finish up the current storyline because new readers to the series will be totally lost. For those of us who have read all of the books its great. I was hooked from the middle of the book and couldn't put it down until I finished it.
GREAT Legal Thriller!

Until the Final Verdict is suspenseful, intense, very tightly written, and takes the reader on a unique twist in the search for justice. Christine McGuire, a successful prosecutor, writes legal-mystery thrillers like better-known wannabes only wish they could. Also, try the earlier novels in her UNTIL series.

A fine addition to this long-running series about District Attorney Kathryn Mackay. This time the tables are turned, and she is arrested as a murder suspect. Real life ADA McGuire presents a taut and chilling tale of an innocent person caught in the criminal justice system. Good summertime read. The other books in the series are well worth reading, too.
