I liked this story, though it's not my favorite by Scottoline. It seems that the storyline could be plausible because the main character, Cate, wasn't sure if she wanted the position/promotion of judge or the job its self. So I could see how a person could make bad decisions about her personal life, if she wasn't really sure of who she was and what the ramifications would be towards her career. There were a few unexpected turns in the book and the guilty party was way out in left field for me, someone I'd not suspected at all.
One of Scottoline's earlier books. The first couple of chapters were tough to get hold of, but I'm glad I hung in there. Solid book and good story. Interesting to see the world of supreme court justice through the eyes of a woman.
Excellent book. Plenty of suspense, twists and turns. Character development was thorough. Made me both laugh and cry at various times. Love Lisa Scottoline books!
