Pamela M. (Pyan) reviewed on 6/28/2005 + 106 more book reviews

Jessica is off to Boston, Maine, to work as a jury consultant in a famous murder trial. The case becomes complicated when the defendant's girlfriend - and his only alibi - is murdered.

Jessica is not too eager to take the job at first, but it's almost too good an offer to decline after her publisher asks her to base her next novel on a court trial "to increase sales."

Faster than you can say "murder" Jessica is off for a prolonged, indulging stay at the famous Ritz-Carlton, taking walks through Copley Place and eating gourmet dinners at the most famous restaurants and bars the city has to offer, all compliments of a high paying client.

The killer, however, is getting very close to Jessica and her life is in danger when she starts digging deeper after the subsequent deaths of two jurors who were, apparently, favoring the defense team she is working for.

The book finishes rather abruptly, but I did like the way the author presented a court trial novel without loosing that "cozy" touch.
