** spoiler alert ** So ... now that I read three Scottoline books in three days and didn't feel like writing the reviews as I went, I don't have much to say about this one!

I liked Natalie being a professor, and loved the Shakespearean angle in the beginning. But I have to say I was confused by the Angus angle, because the first description of him in the book made him totally unappealing. Since that impression stayed with me, further developments in the book really confused me.

However, I loved the Underground Railroad story line, and I liked Nat's relationship with the wife of the C.O. But I also felt like -- as in the previous Scottoline I read -- Natalie was really Kinsey Milhone-ish. And way over her head, too.

What I *did* like was the family stuff at the end. I liked that a lot, and her realization as she thought about Paul made my annoyance with her family stuff ok.

I realized when the cops didn't believe her and she was on the run, and trying to prove stuff, that I felt the same as I did when reading "Think Twice". A lot of that was similar to the spot Bennie found herself in, and no one believed her. Not sure if that's a little lazy of the author, or it just happened to work out that way in both books. hmmm ...

Of course, now that I'm writing about Bennie, I'm reminded that it bugged me that Bennie wasn't Nat's lawyer in this, since that's who Angus recommended. I guess it just didn't make sense in terms of how the story worked out -- I thought the new lawyer was going to be some bad guy, and in the end he was just a random lawyer hired by her father. So the fact that he wasn't the lawyer she was supposed to have was ... meaningless. Just a loose end that bugged me, I guess.

I realized I didn't even mark any parts of this one, so I guess that's all I have to say. It was interesting while I was reading it, and was a very quick read. I'm interested in her writing enough that I'm off to the library to get some more of her books :)
