Mediocre 8th entry in Nina Reilly series lacks suspense...
Sisters Pamela and Mary O'Shaughnessy, writing as "Perri", have obviously developed a fan base with seven prior defense attorney Nina Reilly stories. Unfortunately for us, this was our first try by the women, and we seem to have been stuck with one of their poorer efforts. The most exciting thing to happen in the plot was Nina's Bronco being stolen, complete with three confidential client files in the back seat. More...

I read this series out of order and I don't mind one bit. This is another gripping tale in Nina's life as a lawyer. Perri O'Shaughnessy's writing style kept me reading page after page until I was anxious and palpitating. I liked how the courtroom drama was presented in the book, I always say this in my reviews and I'm not tired of saying it: it's like watching the real thing - how lawyers manipulate the questioning, the justice system, and how some people are psychologically twisted.

I really enjoy the collaborative writing effort of the O'Shaughnessy sisters (Pam & Mary) as Perri O'Shaughnessy. I have really enjoyed this Nina Reilly series. If you like John Grisham, Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series, for example, I really think you'll like this series by Perri O'Shaughnessy.
Unfit to Practice was especially good; fast paced and full of suspense. Nina Reilly arrives home late one rainy night and, having lost the key to her Bronco and is using a spare key, she h More...

i was surprised to find a nina reilly book by the two sisters, that i hadn't already read. in this one, nina seems a lot less organized as he loses three files with intake notes. Former husband Jack comes to her rescue, as does of course, her current squeeze Paul van Wagoner. there are all sorts of twists and turns and at times, it seems as though nina will fail. does she? what do you think?

Pretty good whodunit, with the heroine< Nina Reilly threatened with the possible loss of her profession as an attorney due to suspicious happenings. While the book was a pretty good page-turner for me, I found myself critical of some of the later chapters that contained some "contrived" situations that called my attention to the writing, rather than the story. The ending was rough - not a smoothly flowing one and didn't deliver as well as the rest of the book. That said, I will st

Started off quiet good and kept me guessing - for a bit - ending lets it down - so much effort and research and then kind of rushes at the end with absolutely no atmosphere or suspense - almost like the author(s) just couldnt wait to finish it or had a deadline they were gonna miss - truly falls apart - shame.

I'm not saying this is my favorite Nina Reilly novel but it definitely fills in the blanks on a few others that I have read. I hope she makes it back to Tahoe otherwise this series will lose the "i-kinda-want-to-live-here" award.

I had actually already read this book! When I started it I knew right away I'd read it! BUT it was NOT on Goodreads! Which is why I NEED Goodreads so I don't make THAT mistake again! I just skipped to the last few chapters to refresh my memory!

Took a bit of time to read the book...so got attached to the characters. The ending could have been better after all the nerve racking. Still a very good read!

The story line got bogged down with too much trivia involved with the lawyers cases.

This book was an interesting tale of lawyers and deception and kept me guessing until the end. I actually listened to it as opposed to reading it, and constantly found myself looking for some time to get back to my MP3 player to learn a little more.
I had never heard of this author before and was pleased with my find, but it didn't compare with some of the bigger names that I've read before.

i liked this book, although it wasn't as good as 'invasion of privacy'. the problem is that i buy the nina reilly books by what sounds good and what they happen to have in the second-hand bookstore, not according to the order they're in, so it gets confusing at some points.

A great Nina Reilly book filled with struggles and I admire her more with each book! She is questioning her choice of becoming a lawyer in this one. I thought this was creatively done with very different three cases interwoven. I learned even more about Lake Tahoe, business owners and how the legal system works. It is good to read these in order, which I didn't know when I discovered them.

I found this to be a good, little legal thriller. This was my first foray into the O'Shaughnessy sisters work, and I enjoyed it enough that I will go back and read this series from the beginning. Perhaps, had I read others previously, the characters would have been more 'familiar', but I didn't find that detracted from the story, at all

This book is one of many in a series- I didn't realize it until I started reading. I went to the library and tried to find some from the start of the series. Decent book.

I enjoy this series featuring Nina Reilly, however this is not the best of the series. It is a very good set up and puts Nina on the defensive, trying to save her career in addition to her clients, but it just doesn't keep the tension going.

I wanted to feel the setting of Lake Tahoe, but the writing is pedestrian. it's a very average mystery novel, and the author doesn't really evoke the place. Lake Tahoe is just a name, it could be anywhere.
