When you put your hands on ROUGH JUSTICE and start reading it, you'll never be able to put it away. Why? Cause you just don't think you're reading a book, but watching the best Law movie you've ever watched. The book is full of twists, action, wonderful characters that seem to be someone from your own family, and Lisa Scottoline goes beyond: she makes you laugh by the way she describe things and put sentences into people's mouth. SHE'S AN AMAZING AUTHOR! Remember the guy who you think is the best author of the genre? Forget him. Buy this book and see why I'm so in love with Lisa's books. Just don't start reading it if you have to work the next day.

Another Scottoline thriller. This is a very fast moving legal/courtroom drama. The attorney turns investigator to find out the truth about her client.

This is the book that hooked me on Scottoline. Not to mention DiNuzzio and Associates :) This book is going to make you think twice about the person who pleads self defense, especially when it seems to real. Wait till you see what Mr. "Rich" thought he could do to a "nobody". You'll be irate at him and thrilled to find out the truth! Not to mention when justice is served!!!!!

Scottoline writes a good legal mystery. This one features Marta Richter, a criminal lawyer and a scuzzy rich client.

If you check out my other postings you'll see I love Lisa Scottoline's ability to plot a good mystery thriller without resorting to the blood, guts and gore genre.

After the jury begins deliberating, the firm's client confesses that he is guilty, but it appears that he is going to be found not guilty. An exciting page turner.
