Guilt by Degrees was a well-written entertaining mystery. When I started the book I wasn't sure I would like it as I had not read anything by Ms. Clark, but it was a very good read. DA Rachel Knight takes over a case from another prosecutor who could.not care less about the case and so it would not be dismissed. Rachel is a member of the Special Trials Unit a department that is highly criticized due to the fact that they get all the high profile cases. She also has issues in her personal life from childhood. Her boyfriend Graden, does a background check and learns her secret and her two friends Bailey and Toni help her with the investigation. Rachel and company get shot at,beat up and were involved in a traffic accident meant to kill. This was a wonderfully developed story and I loved the way the characters were created. I highly recommend this book.
