Search - Final Appeal (Rosato and Associates, Bk 2)

To tell the truth, I read this one a long time ago and don't remember all the details clearly. But I DO remember that it triggered me to read a lot more books by Scottoline. And I also remember that as the plot moved along, I kept feeling, 'Now, what ELSE could possibly go wrong?' And then it did!

From back cover: Do our Judges do us Justice?
To Philadelphia lawyer Grace Rossi, who's starting over after a divorce, a part-time job with a federal appeals court sounds perfect. But Grace doesn't count on being assigned to an explosive death penalty appeal. Nor does she expect ardor in the court, in the form of an affair with her boss, Chief Judge Armen Gregorian.
Then the truly unimaginable happens and Grace finds herself investigating a murder. Unearthing a six-figure bank account kept by a judge with an alias. Breaking into another judge's chambers, and a secret apartment. Following a trail of bribery and judicial corruption that's stumped even the FBI. In no time at all, Grace under fire takes on a whole new meaning.

I really like Scottoline mystery!!! Very twisty, turny, who done it!!

Another great Scottoline book! Do you like reading about female heroes? You'll love it

Scottoline is just terrific - every book of hers that I read is better than the one before it. She centers her books on the legal profession in Philadelphia and her changing cast of characters never stops amazing.

The story line, according to the jacket blub: "Grace Rossi is starting over after a divorce and a part-time job with a federal appeals court sounds perfect. But she doesn't count on being assigned to an explosive death penalty appeal. Nor does she expect ardor in the court in the form of an affair with the chief judge. Then Grace finds herself investigating a murder, unearthing a secret bank account and following a trail of bribery and judicial corruption that's stumped even the FBI. In no time at all, Grace under fire takes on a whole new meaning."

Grace Rossi, a former high-powered lawyer in Philadelphia, is starting over after a divorce. She thinks her part-time job with a federal appeals court is perfect. That is, until she becomes embroiled in investigating murder and corruption in the system.

Four stars.

good book!
