Ann Carlisle is a gutsy, no-holds-barred probation officer who seems to attract bad situations everywhere she goes. From getting shot in the beginning of the novel to dealing with rough clients…one in particular is a drug dealer...Ann is always ready for anything. She does have some “human” qualities…such as not everything going as planned with her 12-year-old son David…and she is still mourning the loss of her husband, who disappeared several years back under mysterious circumstances.

I have to be honest...I wasn't really excited to read this book...but I ended up really enjoying it! It was a fun read with a pretty exciting storyline. I did figure out who the bad guy was in the very first shooting........but that was okay.....it was fun to see it all play out anyway! I had a good time reading it and I enjoyed myself more than I thought I would.
So far it's pretty good. The main character is very similar to one in several of her later books. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
Finished - better than it started - good story.

One of the books I read, which renewed my interest in recreational reading. Well paced and suspenseful!
ok, but not quite the type of mystery I like to read, but it was still entertaining.
Ned. Titel: niets dan de waarheid
quick read, enjoyed writing style
ridiculous and full of sex
I found this book to be what I call "wordy." Maybe because it is one of her older books, I just found myself it had been abridged. I like this author's later novels. Prqctice makes better.

This is another thrilling legal thriller from Nancy Taylor Rosenberg. Great drama and action, good intrigue and suspense and plenty of chills for a good read.
A lot going on, but a good suspense.
