Book Description:
In Courting Trouble, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline is back with another fast-paced thriller, which sends a young woman lawyer racing to find out who's trying to kill her -- after she's wrongly been reported murdered.Anne Murphy is smart, gorgeous, and young, the redheaded rookie at the Philadelphia 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--- LAWYER MURDERED -- supposedly refers to her. Anne sets out to find her killer, playing dead in order to stay alive.She tries to go it alone but quickly realizes that she'll have to trust people she barely knows -- colleagues who hate her guts, a homicide squad that wants her out of the crime-fighting business, and a new love who inconveniently happens to be opposing counsel. The investigation takes all of Anne's boldness and ingenuity -- plus a pair of red satin hot pants. But her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others, defend the lawsuit, 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.

"Courting Trouble" is about a newly hired attorney, Anne Murphy, in an all female law firm with a weakness for nice clothes and a tendency to put it all on her credit cards.
As a light and frothy read, this book is excellent. Ms. Scottoline is an exceptional storyteller, and any annoyance over the technical flaws is quickly undermined by the desire to find out what happens on the next page.

Angel S. - Titus, AL wrote on 9/4/2005...This is more of a woman's book. It was a lot of fun to read. It's about a woman who reads she is dead in the newspaper and along with 3 other women starts to investigate her own death.
