Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Lisa Scottoline for the opportunity to read the latest installment of her Rosato & DiNunzio series - another winner! I may be biased because, as I've said before, I would read Scottoline's shopping lists - I'm sure they would be entertaining because she's such a great writer.
This latest book finds lawyer partners Bennie Rosato and Mary DiNunzio (who is now 7 months pregnant) being sued on a reverse discrimination charge because they didn't hire male attorneys who applied for a job. Their single male attorney gives the lawsuit more teeth when he is found to have said that he sometimes feels out of place and may not have the same opportunity for advancement. When he resigns, the press have a field day. To make matters worse, the lawyer filing the lawsuit is Mary's bitter adversary, Nick Machiavelli, who appears to want to shutter their firm. However, the case soon becomes deadly and Rosato and DiNunzio are on the fight to find a killer while saving their firm.
It's wonderful to lose hours with these characters again. This could definitely be a stand-alone novel but all of the characters become so much fuller with the background gathered by reading the previous books. Highly recommended!
