This was a pretty good murder mystery with a surprise ending. First book by this author that I've read - I like it enough to read more.

The plot and characters are just so fascinatinng that it is easy to get caught up with this book. It is a very easy read and quite entertaining. Yes, their are parts that are unbelievable but this is entertainment. I thought the trip back home by the main character really brought nothing to the storyline and could have been left out. Although I enjoyed the book and was entertained I really hated the ending which is why I only gave the book a 3.

One of Scottoline's earlier books. The first couple of chapters were tough to get hold of, but I'm glad I hung in there. Solid book and good story. Interesting to see the world of supreme court justice through the eyes of a woman.

This wasn't my favorite Scottoline book, but once I got into it I enjoyed it more. She is really good at these legal mysteries and she lives in Philly so you know the settings are accurate.
