Mary Dinuzio has just
been promoted to partner and is about to take on her most unusual case
yet, brought to the firm by a thirteen-year-old genius with a penchant
for beekeeping. Allegra Gardner’s sister Fiona was murdered six years
ago, and it seemed like an open-and-shut case: the accused, Lonnie
Stall, was seen fleeing the scene; his blood was on Fiona and her blood
was on him; most damningly, Lonnie Stall pleaded guilty. But Allegra
believes Lonnie is innocent and has been wrongly imprisoned. The Gardner
family is one of the most powerful in the country and Allegra’s parents
don’t believe in reopening the case, so taking it on is risky. But the
Rosato & Associates firm can never resist an underdog. Was justice
really served all those years ago? It will take a team of unstoppable
female lawyers, plus one thirteen-year-old genius, to find out.
Mary DiNunzio and her adorably wacky family,
including The Three Tonys are back. This time around, Mary is made a
partner at her law firm, her boyfriend proposes and she inherits a 13
year old client.
Scottoline
does a great job of capturing what it must feel like to be a part of
Mary’s old fashioned Italian family. The book has just the right blend
of serious with laugh out loud humor that comes when it’s least
expected.
Overall, it’s a delightful read.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
