Product Description

Product Description

Law professor Natalie Greco has an ordered life. She feels a passion for teaching, especially her arcane seminar on the History of Justice, even though the course is pathetically undersubscribed in the high-powered law school. She has an attentive boyfriend and a protective family, although her testosterone-fuelled big brothers and very successful parents tend to overlook the quiet Nat.

Then one terrible day, everything changes. Nat accompanies her colleague Angus to a prison in Chester County where he’s a guest lecturer. It’s a nice day for a drive through the countryside, the site for much Underground Railroad activity during the Civil War. However, the trip turns grim when they arrive at the prison, hardly inside before the speaker system announces a “disturbance” and orders a lockdown. They’re smack in the middle of a riot. In front of a horrified Nat, a prison guard is fatally injured. Nat rushes to help him, only to hear his last words: “Tell my wife. It’s under the floor. The money.”

At that moment, reinforcements arrive, the riot is quelled, and Nat and Angus are escorted out of the building by U.S. marshals. Remembering the dying guard’s words, Nat feels she must find his widow. But this is no simple quest, and along the way, Nat is framed for murder and the retiring scholar finds herself in a desperate fight to save her own life.

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)      
This review is from: Daddy's Girl (Hardcover)
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.
