“A page-turner, for sure. I know, when I pick up one of her books, I might as well not plan on doing anything else until I'm done with the book. They're too hard to put down and I can't resist sneaking a 'few' pages when I do. Good plot, great characters - the usual Scottoline.”

“Part of the series and a pretty good read. Bennie is a great lawyer and Scottoline has a nice grasp on the law and mystery writing.”

Good story, frantic pace--when will she stop falling over dead bodies?-- and convincing details. I want to read more!
Good recommendation, sue! (This is on my list-- that makes 11 of them read!)”
“I agree that this was not a great work of literature. It was, however, interesting.

I have to admit, however, that some of the adult language was unnecessary.”
“I must begin by saying that I actually listened to this in an abridged audio version. Perhaps the abridgement affected my view of the plotting and writing style - always a possibility.

Otherwise, this novel is most of the things that other reviewers have listed. It is fast-paced. There are lots of chases. There is the typical (though not particularly believeable) love relationship that develops in the midst of the bru-ha-ha. And of course the vivid descriptions of what outfit the heroine is wearing.
I liked it. It wasn't a waste of time. It also wasn't a great work of literary significance. It was exactly what escapist fiction is supposed to be - an escape. Sure there are some areas that are a little far-fetched, but does everything we read need to be absolutely realistic?
Overall, it's not a terrible way to spend an afternoon or evening. Read it and enjoy Bennie Risotto's troubles. At least you know her troubles will be over by the time you reach the last page.
