Feared by Lisa Scottoline
4.0
Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Goodreads for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I always enjoyed the Rosato and DiNunzio novels. They are always entertaining, especially when the book gets into Mary’s family life. Her father who shouts everything, her mother who feeds everyone, and the Tonys who are her father‘s friends, all make for a colorful family. Plus, Mary is heavily pregnant in this book, which provide some comic moments.
In this novel, Mary’s enemy, Nick Machiavelli, sues Rosato and DiNunzio for reverse discrimination. One of their own lawyers, John Foxman, had said some things which helped Machiavelli’s case.
As the women try to defend themselves, they stumble onto information about shell corporations and other shady business dealings which could blow the case open.
This was a good fast moving story with all the trademarks of Scottoline. My disappointment was in the reveal of the killer. I thought that was pretty unreasonable, as if the author just needed to wrap up the story, and more background to support the killer’s state of mind could have been given. The reason for the murder seemed far-fetched to me.
