Synopsis

Book 17 of the nationally bestselling Joanne Kilbourn series is classic Gail Bowen: masterfully compelling storytelling that combines a modern, urban family with a gripping, satisfying mystery.As Joanne Kilbourn-Shreve, her husband, Zack, and their soon-to-be seventeen-year-old daughter, Taylor, rush through the rain from their cottage to their car, the Thanksgiving weekend they just spent at the lake with Zack’s law partners is already slipping away, burnished into memory as pleasantly as the hundreds of other weekends the Falconer-Shreve families have shared at Lawyers’ Bay. Thoughts of the weekend past will now focus on the future and be prefaced by the words “next time.”Within weeks, a triple homicide will rip apart the lives of those related to the lawyers who, at the end of their first year in law school, only half-jokingly styled themselves “The Winners’ Circle.” Dazed by grief, Joanne will seek answers to an impossible question: “Why did they die?”The facts behind the suicide of Christopher Altieri, known by his law partners as “the conscience of The Winners’ Circle,” appear to provide insights, but for Joanne those insights raise new, unsettling questions. Knitting this powerful narrative together is Joanne’s unshakeable belief that the only thing worse than knowing is not knowing. Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country’s greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.

Having read all the previous books in the Joanne Kilbourn (Shreve) series, I enjoyed catching up with The Winner’s Circle. The plot centres on the lives of husband Zack Shreve’s law partners—the eponymous “Winner’s Circle”—a group of five brilliant young lawyers who rose to the highest levels in the......more

Another great Joanne Kilbourn mystery. Although there will not be many characters left if they keep getting killed off......more

Goodreads review by Pennie on January 26, 2022

Again, I will start with saying I have not read all of the previous books in this series, just the last one and I really enjoyed that one. This one is really different from that one. This one concentrates on the law practice of Falconer-Shreve. Joanne and Zack always have all the partners to their c......more

Goodreads review by Beverly on October 27, 2020

This was the first book I've read in this series. So many names! Everyone interrelated, and with a back story. I see that others who have been reading the series found it repetitive, while I found it all a muddle for some time. And then boom, something happens, everyone closes their eyes to the most......more
