Enjoyable legal thriller. Great female characters with the lead involved in a pro bono case she's become too close to. A page turner.

I enjoyed this book, because it is another mystery for Lawyer Mary DiNunzio and also because it was part of the authors family history and she has in the back of the book the photo cards of her parents Registration Cards as 'enemy aliens' as part of the WWII effort by the US government in Feb. 1927.

How long should you be allowed to be a grieving widow? Everyone is trying to fix Mary up. But all she wants is to be left alone to solve a 60-year-old murder. Her digging worries someone and she finds her life on the line. Fascinating to watch her peel off the layers of time and history. The excitement builds as she races to finish her investigation. Very interesting page-turner.

This is the first book I have read by Lisa Scottoline. It is actually the ninth book in the Rosato & Associates series about a Philadelphia law firm comprised of women. In this one, Mary DiNunzio, one of the associates, is working pro bono on a case where she is suing for reparations for the family of an Italian immigrant who was interned in a camp in Montana for "enemy aliens" during WWII. The man, Amadeo Brandolini, supposedly committed suicide while at the camp. But is that what really happened? Mary has some artifacts left by his family that include a lock of hair, some strange circular doodles, and an old photograph. As she digs into the case, including a trip to Montana, she suspects that Amadeo may have been murdered. But if so, why? And back in Philadelphia, the lawyer for the Brandolini family gets murdered. So what is being covered up?

This was an okay thriller with some humor thrown in related to Mary's disastrous blind dates. Some of her actions were definitely questionable but the story was interesting and compelling. I was unaware that Italian Americans were interned in camps during WWII; I had thought that this only happened to the Japanese. Scottoline's grandparents had to register as "enemy aliens" and she used this piece of her family history as the basis for this novel. Not sure if I will be reading more in this series but if I happen upon one, I'll probably pick it up.
