I truely enjoyed this book. A lot of thought went into this character...and she was a joy to follow from the beginning to the end.
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.
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.
