4 stars

Great story. Her usual best.

Writ of Execution by Perri O'Shaughnessy is a cross between a Grisham legal thriller and an Evanovich Stephanie Plum novel. Nina Reilly, attorney, gets naked on page 13, but due to a fast moving plot doesn't get any for the rest of the book (427 pages worth). The book revolves around a 7 million dollar jackpot that's won by a girl on the run. A string of murders follow and it's a race to solve the murders and get the girl her jackpot.

Enjoyment: 8/10

I really enjoyed this book. I have a house in Lake Tahoe and so the setting of this book was extra fun, since I knew all the places! Good mystery and hard to put down.

"An attorney and single mother, Nina Reilly sees other people's ups and downs as clearly as she sees her own. But she's never seen anything like the fierce, terrified young woman that comes to her in the middle of the night, trailing a computer geek who was a stranger a few hours before.
Their problem: they just won seven million dollars at the slot machines. Within hours, her client's good fortune has plunged Nina into a battle that will be waged in court and on the streets. The young woman's past---and the mysterious death of her husband in Hawaaii---has triggered a powerful man's crusade of revenge. But a moment of chance and enough money to save two troubled lives has done something worse: it's brought a killer into their midst. . ."
