Quite good.

Moment of Truth (2000) is 5th in the entertaining Rosato & Associates series.

The central hook of the story revolves around a striking premise: a man frames himself for murder to protect his daughter.

When attorney Jack Newlin comes home to find his wife, Honor, murdered in their elegant dining room, he is instantly convinced he knows who committed the crime. Desperate to shield the real killer, Jack makes a split-second decision to doctor the crime scene so all the physical evidence points directly to him before calling the police to confess.

To guarantee his own conviction, Jack purposefully hires Mary DiNunzio, the most inexperienced rookie associate at the hot Philadelphia law firm Rosato & Associates.

Jack’s plan hits a major snag when Mary’s sharp legal instincts kick in. She quickly realizes she isn’t defending a guilty person trying to look innocent, but rather an innocent man trying to prove he is guilty. Refusing to let her client sabotage his own life, Mary risks everything to investigate the real conspiracy behind the murder.
