"Courting Trouble" is about a newly hired attorney, Anne Murphy, in an all female law firm with a weakness for nice clothes and a tendency to put it all on her credit cards.
As a light and frothy read, this book is excellent. Ms. Scottoline is an exceptional storyteller, and any annoyance over the technical flaws is quickly undermined by the desire to find out what happens on the next page.

Another great Lisa Scottoline adventure in Philadelphia with the all-woman law firm that seems to always find adventure, not tomention a body or two, along the way. The author, who really is lawyer, seems to know her way around a law office and courtroom. Very entertaining repartee among the characters, even while they work to solve their problems.
Legal suspense novel, with biting humor, social satire, snappy dialogue, and surprising plot twists

Excellent story about a young female lawyer who goes away for a weekend to work in seclusion, and reads that she was found murdered in her own apartment. She goes on a quest to find out who killed the person sitting with her cat in her apartment and why she was the one meant to die.

This is more of a woman's book. It was a lot of fun to read. It's about a woman who reads she is dead in the newspaper and along with 3 other women starts to investigate her own death.
Great book.

This was a great introduction on Scottoline's part of a new character.
Very well written with fast paced action. Not a lot of dirty words or gore and that makes it easily enjoyed!

A really fast reading book. A real twist at the end.
An entertaining plot, fast read, and completely unexpected twist at the end. Well, almost at the end. She has to wrap things up, and that takes a couple pages. Learning about the stalker she thought she left in CA is really creepy.
It was fun to add a new character along with the old favorites.

Anne Murphy is smart,goureous, and young, the redheaded rookie at the Philadelphi law firm of Rosato & Associates. She leaves town for the Fourth of July weekend to prepare for a high-profile trial, but when she buys her morning newspaper her own photo is plastered all over the front page.
And the headline reads -LAWYER MURDERED- supposedly refers to her. Anne sets out to find her killer, playing dead to stay alive.
The investigation takes all of Anne's boldness and ingenuity, but her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others and fight her urge to sleep with the enemy. Then an unexpected event places her in lethal jeopardy and leaves her with everything to lose-including her life.
Really enjoyed this one.

In Courting Trouble, Lisa Scottoline is back with another fast-paced thriller, which sends a young woman lawyer racing to find out who's trying to kill er - after she's wrongly been reported murdered.
I generally like Lisa Scottoline's books but I don't think this is among the better ones. I often felt like I had come into it in the middle or as if there were a book before it I hadn't read.
I would not say "don't bother to read" by any means, but if there are others you haven't read, I'd go there first.

From Publishers Weekly
New York Times bestseller Scottoline's cast of beautiful female lawyers at Philadelphia's Rosato & Associates is augmented by red-headed bombshell Anne Murphy, a woman with a secret past, who's trying to make a go of it in a new city. An intriguing character jammed into a laborious plot, Murphy toils as a career-minded loner. On a much-needed weekend away from her heavy caseload, she picks up a newspaper to read that she has been murdered by an intruder who blasted her in the face with a shotgun. Murphy knows the real victim was the woman who had agreed to feed her cat; she also knows that the murderer was likely Kevin Satorno, the stalker who nearly killed her a year earlier while she was living in Los Angeles. Murphy figures that if Satorno discovers he actually killed the wrong person, he'll continue hunting her, so she decides to play dead and enlist the help of her new colleagues at Rosato & Associates to track him down. Scottoline (The Vendetta Defense; Moment of Truth) wraps up the far-fetched action in high style, with a few predictable twists, at Philly's big outdoor Fourth of July celebration. As in her eight previous women-in-peril legal thrillers, she tempers the plot's bloodshed with a bouncy tone that some readers may find cloying. But this doesn't bother the former lawyer's growing base of fans she's now translated into 25 languages and despite Murphy's occasional "you go, girl" silliness, she's the best character Scottoline has created in a while.

Another good Scottoline mystery. I'm from Philadelphia so I always enjoy reading about the city.
I love this author and once again she has written a fun, suspenseful book.
Extremly funny. Courting trouble is a gavel to gavel romp.
I've just discovered Lisa Scottoline and she is GOOD. I feel as if she should be more famous. Her plots have some nice surprises, her initial premises are above average interesting, her characters are original, whimsical, realistic, funny. I intend to read all her books!
