One of the better books in this series, with both Bennie Rosato and Mary DeNunzio playing major roles. Mary is asked to help an old neighborhood friend and son of one of the three Tonys to sue an employer who fired him because of his daughter's medical bills. However, the employer is a subsidiary of one of Bennie's corporate clients, pitting the two partners against each other. Things escalate legally, professionally, and personally. And when things look bleakest, Scottoline returns to her themes of family, friendship, and love. Another fantastic story with Bennie Rosato and Mary DiNunzio. It's been a thrill watching Mary grow to become a partner with Bennie, but this story - one that shakes the foundations of their partnership - was a punch to the gut. Lisa Scottoline has always been masterful in her character building, so it's easy to feel all the angst and frustration both women are feeling, all while crafting a tight mystery that wasn't what it first seemed to be. Seeing Bennie "get" Mary's South Philly extended family? Priceless. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced reader copy of the book. I thought that this book was really good. This is the fifth book in the Rosato & DiNunzio series but it can be easily read as a stand-alone. I have enjoyed all of the books that I have read in this series so far and this book was no exception. I was hooked by this story pretty early on and was really eager to see how things would work out. I am so glad that I finally decided to pick up this book. Mary DiNunzio agrees to represent a close family friend in a wrongful termination lawsuit. Her friend, Simon, was let go from his job and it seems that it might have a lot to do with the fact that his daughter's illness is costing the company a lot of money due to the way they are insured. She soon learns that her firm often represents the parent company and that there is a conflict of interest in representing Simon but she is determined to do whatever is necessary to make it happen. I have read several books in this series and expected this book to be told from either Mary or Benny's point of view so I was thrilled to get to see them both take a leading role in the story. It was really interesting to get the chance to get in both of their heads in a case where they don't always agree with each other. I liked that the book had a nice mix of legal maneuvering and action to keep things exciting. There were a lot of twists and turns in this story and it was exciting to see everything develop. The mystery was able to keep me guessing until the very end. Kate Burton did an excellent job with the narration. I thought that she did a great job with all of the character voices and that she was able to add a lot of excitement to the story. I thought that she had a very pleasant voice and that she read the story at a good pace. I believe that he narration added to my overall enjoyment of the story. I would recommend this book to fans of legal thrillers. I thought that this was a well-crafted story that kept things exciting and had some feel-good moments. I will definitely be reading more of Lisa Scottoline's work in the future. I received a digital review copy of this book from St. Martin's Press via NetGalley and borrowed a copy of the audiobook from my local library. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Mary is now a partner with Bennie and there's a conflict between her and a case that Mary will not give up for personal reasons and it's an interesting scenario. I always thought Bennie was a little rough around the edges but she is trying to treat Mary better it seems.
A lot of action going on here and the last 50 pages or so had me biting my nails. The ending was a lead in to the next book (Feared) which I can't wait to read now.
As a side note, I'm almost certain that I enjoyed the other books in this series and can only see stars I gave since when I imported all of my books from Shelfari to Goodreads since it didn't transfer a lot of my reviews for books and this series are a part of it. I wish I could see my reviews to compare them all and my opinion on them and see if I liked some more than others but unfortunately I can't do that. ( )
