I love searching through the wonderful blogs associated with this group, but sometimes I'd just like to find a new book to read! I thought this would be a great place to JUST post review links! Here's my latest:
I did not have the luxury of reading Scottoline's books in series order, so keep this in mind when reading my review. Let me start by saying that this is, in my opinion, the best of the series.
I found myself sucked in right way to the drama of the Italian community. I love books that have a little cultural flavor and as is the case with Scottoline's books, the characters make the story.
When Pigeon Tony is arrested for murder it looks like an open and shut case. But Pigeon Tony is adamant that he did not murder his lifelong enemy. It isn't what it seems and he is determined to tell the truth even if it kills him, his grandson, and his lawyer, Judy Carrier.
Judy works for Rosato & Associates and her boss, Bennie, is no push-over, so it takes some work for Judy to convince Bennie that she is thinking with her brain and not with her heart when she fights to keep the case she took without permission.
The friction between Lucia and Coluzzi families goes back years and holds the pain of more than one tragedy. Is Judy Carrier a good enough attorney to let Pigeon Tony tell his story to the judge and jury and him from facing the death penalty?
This is one of Scottoline's most emotional books and while it goes back in the series, I believe it is her best writing. I love all her books, but this is in the #1 spot for great Scottoline reads.
