A tightly woven spiderweb of plot and a rich cast of characters make this a truly gripping read." --Jeffery Deaver, author of "The Bodies Left Behind" It should be an open-and-shut case. Canada's leading radio-show host, Kevin Brace, has confessed to killing his young wife. He had come to the door of his luxury condominium with his hands covered in blood and told the newspaper deliveryman: "I killed her." His wife's body lay in the bathtub of their suite, fatal knife wound just below the sternum. Now all that should remain is legal procedure: document the crime scene, prosecute the case, and be done with it. The trouble is, Brace refuses to talk to anyone--including his own lawyer--after muttering those incriminating words. With the discovery that the victim was actually a self-destructive alcoholic, the appearance of strange fingerprints at the crime scene, and a revealing courtroom cross-examination, the seemingly simple case begins to take on all the complexities of a hotly-contested murder trial. In the tradition of defense lawyers-turned-authors such as Scott Turow and John Grisham, Toronto-based defense counsel Robert Rotenberg delivers a debut legal thriller rich with his forensic skill. Firmly rooted in Toronto, from the ancient Don Jail to the sterile morgue and the shadowy corridors of the historic courthouse, "Old City Hall" takes the reader inside clattering Italian restaurants and late-night greasy spoons--and outside, to open-air skating rinks and parade-filled streets. Rotenberg leads us on a fascinating tour of a city as exciting and vital as the motley ensemble populating his story: there's Awotwe Amankwah, the only black reporter covering the crime; Judge Johnathan Summers, an old navy captain who runs his courtroom like he's still standing astride the foredeck; Edna Wingate, an eighty-three year old British war bride who just loves hot yoga; and Daniel Kennicott, a former big-firm lawyer who became a cop after his brother was murdered and the investigation hit a dead end. Douglas Preston rejoices that Rotenberg's Toronto settings "make this most multicultural city in North America come alive." Elmore Leonard has Florida; John Lescroart, San Francisco; Robert B. Parker, Boston; Scott Turow, Chicago; George Pelecanos, D.C. And now, with "Old"" City Hall," Rotenberg offers us a page-turning legal thriller set in a diverse and surprising Toronto filled with unexpected characters and plot twists that keep you guessing until the very end.(less)

Feb 11, 2012 Teena in Toronto rated it 3 of 5 stars

I was attracted to this book because it is a murder mystery set in downtown Toronto.

I enjoyed the writing style. Though there are lots of pages, I found the book moved at a quick pace. As the characters were cluing in on things, I got some at the same time and others I had to wait for them to be revealed.

Since I live in Toronto, I knew most of the places he referred to in the story such as Old City Hall, the Vesta Lunch, etc. You can see them all here. At times, he went into a lot of detail abou...more

Set in Toronto, third- person narrator, jumping from a variety of characters in the story, starting with a minor character, Mr. Singh, a 74-yer-old Indian who now delivers papers. He is delivering papers in an upscale condo apartment building, when the owner of one of the two top=floor apts. tells him he has killed his wife.

It is impossible to do OLD CITY HALL justice in a review. It is unusual in every way.

Each morning, Gurdial Singh, formerly the chief engineer for Indian Railways and approaching his 74th birthday, delivers newspapers to the condominiums at the luxury Market Place Towers in Toronto. He begins at exactly 5:05 am and exactly 25 minutes later, Mr Singh reaches the 12th floor apartment of Kevin Brace, the most famous radio host in Canada. Mr. Kevin would be waiting at the half-opened door with a cigarette in one hand and a mug of tea in the other. Their ritual conversation never varied. Mr. Kevin would say, “Good morning, Mr. Singh” and Mr. Singh would reply, “Good morning, Mr. Kevin. And how is your beautiful wife?” Then Mr. Kevin would say, “More beautiful than ever, Mr. Singh.” Their routine never changed and each looked forward to their few minutes of conversation about gardening or other mundane matters until the morning in December when Mr. Singh arrived at the apartment and Mr. Kevin was not at the door. It was half way open but there was no sign of anyone until Mr. Kevin appeared, without cigarette and tea. Mr. Kevin said nothing until he whispered, “Mr. Singh, I killed her.” Thus begins OLD CITY HALL, the first of what I hope will be a series by Robert Rotenberg. Kevin Brace has the most recognized voice in Canada but after the whispered confession to Mr. Singh, he refuses to speak another word, not even to his attorney. There are great characters in this story. The first officer to arrive at the scene, Daniel Kennicot, joined the police after the unsolved murder of his brother. Kennicot had been a member of a prestigious law firm but felt compelled to try to find the killer by working in the police department. Detective Ari Greene, the chief investigator, realizes that Kennicot will be invaluable to the investigation of what will be a very high profile case. Albert Fernandez, a young prosecutor, is next in line for a homicide case, his first, and he has no idea who Kevin Brace is. Nancy Parrish is a solo practioner, trying to get her law practice off the ground. When she receives a call from Detective Greene telling her that Kevin Brace has indicated that she is his attorney, she is definitely puzzled. She had met Brace at a Christmas party and had done a short interview on his show, but she knew she was not in that class of attorneys who would eagerly jump in to defend a man like Kevin Brace. Her puzzlement deepens when her client tells her that he will not speak to her or to anyone else, that he will only communicate with her in writing, and that she must never mention to anyone that he is silent.

OLD CITY HALL is a love story wrapped in an absorbing mystery. It is written beautifully, not poetic, but with every word crafted to move the story along and to move the reader. Kevin Brace is an intriguing character.(less)

When the man who delivers his newspaper is met by the man at his door with the sentence: “I killed her, I killed my wife,” it would seem to be a slam-dunk case. The defense lawyer and the a...more

I was looking for a Canadian mystery writer, and Robert Rotenberg was recommended to me, forget by whom. Even better for me as a Torontonian, he sets Old City Hall in Toronto. Unfortunately, that meant as a Torontonian, I got tossed out of the flow of the book when he used strange-to-monikers for common place, like "bay" for the "inner harbour" (or at least I think that's the body of water he was referring to). The strange terms may be because of his publisher as the book didn't seem to know whe...more

This is the first book by Robert Rotenberg that I have read in my ongoing project to read mystery novels/series by Canadian authors and I most assuredly intend to read the rest in the series. Of course "Old City Hall" bears quite a resemblance to William Deverell's "Arthur Beauchamp" series which is to be expected as they are both, primarily, courtroom dramas. In my opinion Deverell's books are much more humourous than this one although the situations created by the unlikely, and probably imposs...more

The police arrive, the homicide detective turns up, the lawyers for defence and prosecution and a number of other interested parties.

I began reading Mr. Rotenberg's Stray Bullets which was won as a Goodread's First-reads and it captured my attention much like Old City Hall. Once again Mr. Rotenberg captures the spirit of Toronto as well as the Canadian justice system in this suspenseful thriller novel. One thing that I love is Rotenberg's devotion to representing the population of Toronto and Canada as it is a multicultural cooking pot. The diversity and backgrounds of characters range to every extreme which makes them just that much more believable. The story was a good one with quite a few "Ah-ha!" or "I didn't see that one coming." type moments though most of these were left to the end as is expected. The story didn't quite flow the same as his latest novel but perhaps this is purely just writing experience coming into play. I found that the way many chapters ended were incomplete, obviously they were meant to be cliffhangers but the execution was poor. It always seemed that as one of the characters whether it be Crown, detectives, defense lawyers or whomever else, everyone seem to be coming to these grand conclusions then running out of the scene with little to no explanation to the reader what exactly the conclusion was then leaving you guessing for many chapters. There wasn't overly much of "street level" criminal type dialogue or action in this novel which I really enjoyed in his other works, more court and lawyer drama this time around. This seems novel seems just a bit more "John Grisham-ey" but still very entertaining. If you haven't read Rotenberg yet I'd HIGHLY suggest you give him a shot, especially if you are Canadian! **SPOILER** If I haven't sold you yet on him, THE LEAFS WIN THE CUP! Nice touch but sadly I am reminded this is fiction.

"Old City Hall" by Rober Rotenberg, took me a while to read.
It has a good story line about a murder, but the story is not told well enough to hold your attention.
There was only brief discussion on the murder and then it went on about the Police station and investigators until about page 210 then it picked up on the true story line again.

This is a fabulously detailed, realistic and entertaining view of Toronto's criminal justice system, and litigation more generally.

This book took me a minute to get into, it is one of those books where each chapter is about a new character so it takes a while to figure out who everyone is. Once I got past that, it was pretty darn good. The female lawyer had a potty mouth, but everyone else was pretty well-behaved. When the book began to unravel and the crime investigation and court case came together, it was really well done. I was thrown for a loop a few times, which I like!!

It's a celebration of Toronto as much as it is a mystery. Definitely created some nostalgia for me (having lived there most my life and recently moved across country). And the courtroom tactics are accurate, if dramatized. The characters are fun, though a bit two-dimensional. And there are some real implausibilities in the plot. But the plot, assuming you're willing to roll with it, trips along very nicely. I'm not a fan of the genre in particular, but it was a fun read overall. Probably the per...more

An extremely intelligent legal/procedural by a Toronto lawyer turned mystery novelist.

There are a few minor baddies but their role is so small, they're just a blip.

Starts off strong, with lots of Canadian flavor. I liked the way the multiple characters' narratives weaved together in separate chapters, leading you through the plot from different directions. Unfortunately, some mystery conventions took over in the second half, and characters make "Ah ha!" discoveries without sharing them. It's not a puzzle that the reader can figure out, and so you just have to plug along and wait for the reveal, which felt strung out in this case.

OLD CITY HALL starts off in a decidedly disarming manner, with polite, proper and very Indian Mr Singh going about his daily job of distributing newspapers which always involves a chat with Mr Kevin in Suite 12A. On this particular morning the door is open as usual, but there is no sign of Kevin Brace. When he eventually appears in the hallway of his apartment, Mr Singh is the only person to hear him confess to killing his wife. Kevin Brace refuses to speak again. He doesn't speak to the police who investigate the crime, to his cellmate as he awaits trial, or even to his own defence counsel.

The case of Kevin Brace is the reason a number of characters all come together, although Brace himself is almost a bit player in the entire book. Partly this is because of the use of the Counsel viewpoints, partly because of Brace's decision not to speak. I have to admit I found other characters failure to deduce the reasons behind his speechlessness somewhat inexplicable at the end of the book, although this aspect is really difficult to talk about in a review without giving the game away - suffice to say, there were aspects that made clanging noises for quite a while after I finished reading.

Whilst there is a crime at the centre of the book, it does take a slightly lower profile in this book. An odd thing to conclude as ultimately the story is about the trial of that crime. Possibly this is because this isn't the sort of book where a crime is committed and a guilty party must be identified, rather this is book concentrates on "post arrest". Whilst there is definitely still some investigating going on, mostly it's not about the who, but more concentrating on the why of the crime, it's also the story of the trial and the characters involved in that trial. The crime itself is over and the investigation has a slightly different focus, and therefore intensity, once preparations for, and the trial itself, commences. Having said that, the trial even takes a slightly lower profile as well. Perhaps it's partly this difference that made OLD CITY HALL compelling, possibly it's partly because the lawyer characterisations are really very strong. The book slowly builds the story of the two counsel, aspects of their private lives and their involvement in the trial, at the same time as the facts behind the case are revealed. The lives of the perpetrator and victim are gradually drawn out, the motivation behind the death of Kevin Brace's wife is explained, and Mr Singh goes back to delivering his papers.
