Search - Courting Trouble (Rosato and Associates, Bk 9)

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.

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.

witty and entertaining

I love anything by Lisa Scottoline and this is just one more of the great thrill rides she gives. Lots of susdpense, some murder, of course, and a bit of humor make for a super read.

Definitely a page turner! You can't help but cheer for this heroine as she fights her old demons and becomes a stronger, happier woman in the process. Loved the book

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!
