4.0 out of 5 stars Strong Plot, Weak Dialogue, and Unbelievable Action Sequences, 16 April 2007
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
If you love well constructed plots, Daddy's Girl will be a favorite of yours.

If instead, you are a fan of interesting characters and dialogue, Daddy's Girl may seem below average because only one character is at all interesting.

Alternately, if you like realistic action, you'll definitely think you've picked up a comic book by mistake.

As the book opens tiny, untenured law professor, Natalie (Nat) Greco, is struggling to teach her seminar class at Penn about justice by discussing The Merchant of Venice. The students haven't read the assignment. Things go downhill when Vice Dean James McConnell shows up to observe her teaching. Nat humorously wings it, and you'll find yourself liking her as a character from that point on.

When popular clinical teacher Angus Holt invites her to join him to teach the class at a minimum security prison the next day, Nat is too shy to resist. Things start off smoothly enough . . . until an incident occurs. Nat is shaken to the depths of her soul. Keeping a promise, Nat soon finds herself under suspicion for more crimes than are normally discussed in a semester of criminal law. While her rich father and close family try to help, Nat decides the time has come to run her own life. From there, the book takes a high action turn that will delight those who enjoy seeing heroines triumph.

With the exception of two references to Bennie Rosato, Daddy's Girl is all new characters and is based in part on Ms. Scottoline's recent experiences as a professor at Penn. Be sure not to read the acknowledgments until you finish the book: There's a humdinger of a spoiler in there that Ms. Scottoline warns you about (but you may not stop in time).

Nat isn't as good as Ms. Scottoline's best characters. But her supporting cast isn't nearly as good as Ms. Scottoline normally does.

On the other hand, I don't recall a better plot among the Scottoline novels.
