For 2011 my book club has chosen to focus our reading on local authors &/or topics set locally in the Phila area. Lisa Scottoline's first book is our first to read under these guidelines.
This is not a typical book for me to pick up & read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was suspenseful but not horribly frightening. The characters engaged me, and I was eager to read it from chapter to chapter. The ending was a bit of a surprise, too, so that makes it even more enjoyable. I definitely would recommend giving Lisa Scottoline a try if you haven't read her before.
