A mystery that keeps you guessing to the end. Love the location descriptions of Lake Tahoe and Carmel. I just don't get the relationship with Nina and Paul though. The author(s) needs to get this into better perspective.

Nina Reilly, Tahoe lawyer, has her work really cut out for her this time defending her ex-lover, the father of her so. O'Shaughnessy doesn't disappoint. Great story. I like the mix of Nina's personal life and her legal practice. Good characters.
Four stars. 2nd in series and I look forward to all the others. Like most series best read in order but I haven't and thoroughly enjoyed each one. This is about my sixth. I'm trying to get the on hand to read in order from now own.

Perri O'Shaughnessy has never let me down for good reading. As always, their characters leave you scratching your head as to whether they are the good guys or bad. I've read a few of the books in the series (not in order) now and have yet to pick the true bad guy out of the cast of possible villians. All in all a very good read!

Described as "legal thriller" but not too much legal-ease to interpret. Very good book!
A REALLY GOOD READ
I loved this book...I wish I had started at the first novel they published and then read in sequence...but it didn't matter, it was full of surprises and excitement every step of the way!
Very good book. This is the first book I read from the O'Shaughnessy's and I've been hooked ever since.
Really enjoyed this one!!

Second in the series. Great series of books revolving around the life of attorney and single mom Nina Reilly. Suspenseful and complex.
A new author to me and i will look for more of theirs. Great thriller keeps you guessing until the last page.
Another Nina Reilly mystery. This time she has been shot during a heated murder trail. She should have died that day, instead Nina has returned to the same courtroom. Her only concession to her lingering fear is ti give up criminal law.

These are enjoyable books with a good lead character. These sisters write well together.
Another good story about Nina Reilly. She is recovering from her attack in the courtroom, and decides to take on a nice safe civil lawsuit. Oops! It turns out to be just as dangerous.
