Product Description

From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline, a new novel featuring the all-female ass-kicking wise-cracking Philadelphia law firm Rosato and Associates How many people get to solve their own murder? A quiet Fourth of July weekend at the beach is shattered when Anne Murphy opens her morning newspaper. Staring back at her from the front page is her own photo, under the headline LAWYER MURDERED. Once the body in the morgue is identified, the murderer will realize their mistake. In the meantime, playing dead to stay alive, Anne must find out who is trying to kill her. Unable to rely on the police, who have already allowed her stalker to slip through their hands once, she has no choice but to confide in her new colleagues at Rosato & Associates. It will take all their combined ingenuity to crack the case before it's too late.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stalker!, 21 Jun 2004
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Courting Trouble (Paperback)
Those who want law, mystery, women being stalked, murder and other serious matters treated literally in a realistic way, like "Law & Order" does on television, will hate Courting Trouble. Those who enjoy the Stephanie Plum stories may discover a wonderful new heroine in Anne Murphy.

The story itself is just the context for often remarkable, surprising comedy. Anne Murphy is a fairly new associate at the all-woman law firm, Rosato & Associates. Think of her as Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy, Anne's favorite show. She's a bright, zany red-head representing a former law school classmate in a sexual harassment case.

In the book's opening, she is trying to get some testimony excluded. After sparring unsuccessfully with the judge, she uses an inflammatory (but very funny) tactic to get the judge to rethink his position. No law school teaches this kind of off-the-wall trick, and I'm sure no lawyer I know would do it. But that's what makes it funny, because it shows up in contrast to the stark formality of legal proceedings so well. At that point, I got it. This book is a witty satire of legal practice and the female detective genre. I suspect that many people will miss that point.

The reversals of expectations just keep coming.

After I finished the book, I found myself thinking about why certain subjects are not normally treated with humor. It's probably because the subjects are so repugnant to us, such as child molestation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller to keep you awake, 17 Jan 2003
This review is from: Courting Trouble (Paperback)
For fans of legal thrillers Courting Trouble is a 'must read'; it is a fast-paced thriller that is definitely one that will keep you awake all night desperately trying to finish reading it. For people who have read Scottoline's books before it has all the favourite characters; Mary DiNuzio, Judy Carrier and Bennie Rosato. But the main character, Anne Murphy, is one that was quietly introduced in Scottoline's last book, The Vendetta Defence.
Although fundamentally Courting Trouble appeals to fans of legal thrillers I found that the book was not wholly about that, instead I found that it was a tale about friendship. For anyone who has moved to a new town to start a new job they will immediately identify with Murphy, the main character. Courting Trouble is about how we make judgements about people, especially before we have even met or spoken to the person.
Courting Trouble is a great novel to introduce someone to the legal thriller genre, as the tale of tracking a deadly stalker is so closely interwoven with the tale of developing friendships. Courting Trouble is yet another triumph for Scottoline who again proves what an accomplished writer she is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner From Lisa Scottoline!, 16 July 2003
By A Customer
Once again we return to the exciting and yet happily familiar world of Rosato and Associates. The characters have been lovingly concieved by Scottoline and they continue to grow and become more like old friends with every novel. The plot as usual, is racy and gripping and with a few laugh out loud moments thrown in for good measure, this is the perfect holiday read.
