This is the third in a series about an attorney in Lake Tahoe that I have read. I think I am suffering from character fatigue. Or, maybe just stupid woman protagonist fatigue? I liked the premise of the case she took on this time - murder was not the main focus, this time it was a palimony suit so a civil case vs criminal. I still love the characters around Nina, but, I am not quite sure about Nina anymore. I was also not thrilled with her client Lydia. There was just too much stupid female as v

Nina Reilly is an attorney in Lake Tahoe (Nevada Side) who has her own small practice and a knack for taking seemingly impossible cases. She works tirelessly to help her clients with the help of her Native American secretary, his son, and on-again off-again boyfriend/PI. The action moves along well and the court scenes are good as well as the adversarial relationship she has with other lawyers in the area.

When I work at a mission near here, I pick up books, read them and then return them. This one is okay: the plot is a little contrived, but the novel makes for good reading when one is feeling mindless. I guess this is a part of a series featuring the attorney Nina Reilly. I proabably will not read others, BUT this one did keep me going--even with exaggerated twists and turns to the plot.

ONCE AGAIN, I was not aware that this was part of a series - I guess I don't pay attention to that, but I swear most of the onse that I say that about don't even mention that on the covers - WHICH THEY SHOULD - so I don't read them out of order!.
Anyway, this was a very good book. You really learn to love the main character. The story was well written and very enjoyable.

I really love these books. This story was was very interesting because the reader is taken through the court litigation process as well as the jury deliberations and I found it very fascinating. It had a great ending and Nina is just as strong as ever and came out just fine after all. Can't wait to read more of their books.

This was a very good book. Kept my interest from the very beginning. I enjoyed the look into the judicial system. Especially enjoyed the manner in which the jury deliberations were portrayed. Looking forward to the next in the series.

As always, a real page turner from the start. Lots of detail and intelligent writing. It's easy to "live" these books as one reads them. On to "Acts of Malice" next. I'm hooked on this series!

Very enjoyable read if you like mysteries. I like the "law" parts of it since Jessie went to law school and is setting up her own office now.

I generally really enjoy this series, but I found this one highly offensive in the section about jury selection.

This was another good read by the sisters, Perri O'shaughnessy. It kept you guessing to the end.

I used to love legal thrillers, but the thrill has wore off. Oh, well. O.k. story, just not my thing anymore.

This book was just so-so. I have liked this author's books in the past because of the setting....Lake Tahoe...and the legal thriller aspect. The motivation in this one seemed weak and I didn't like the way the main character behaved.

This didn't pass my 50 page/1 cassette or CD test. There reallly wasn't anything wrong with it, except it sounded as though it was going to turn into a courtroom/legal wrangling story. It didn't hold my interest.

This was the most exciting of the series so far. I really enjoy these books, and I can't wait to read more.
