I just finished this book, and I loved it!! All the twists and turns we're totally unexpected, and all the characters were very well fleshed out. The heroine's family is a hoot. And the ending was a real shocker.
I have read all Lisa Scottoline's books, but don't miss this one!

Lisa Scottoline captures the spirit of the typical, loving Philly family in the Grecos. At moments, I found myself jealous of Natalie and her (sometimes) overbearing family, and other moments opitimized the adage "the grass isn't always greener on the other side."
Natalie is nothing if not lovable, and delivers many insightful lines, like "what if I suck at my passion?" (Now, who hasn't asked themselves that?!) She's on the brink of tenure at U. Penn Law, she's dating a great guy--who her family adores--and life is pretty much okay. Until her boss watches her stage Shakesphere's "The Mercent of Venice" as a tool for her law students to learn the difference between the law and justice, and a hippie professor extends her an invition to be a guest lecturer at a local minimum security prison. As her life spirals out of control, Natalie finds herself in control for the first time in her life.
There are few adult scenes, and at that, it is more implied adult situation. If you're looking for a new "cozy" mystery, give "Daddy's Girl" a try.
