Five stars for sheer fun...

I loved this writer - her writing is witty, amusing - I was sorry it ended. Lisa Scottoline has a true, fresh voice in the detective genre. This was the first book of hers I read. I wanted to read all the others and I am now in the middle of "Moment of Truth." I particularly like her descriptions of the men in her protagonists' families. She's really very dear, despite her mouthy personality, which I happened to enjoy, contrary to some of the (unbelievably prudish) readers below. Thanks, Lisa!
Fast, fun and gripping!

I've read hundreds of "lawyer" novels and must say that this one kept me up late, turning pages as fast as I could. I loved the cast of women lawyers, loved tough, mean, gutsy Marta, and the two appealing associates, and all the legal banter, and for once all the political infighting was interesting instead of a huge yawn. I also enjoyed the author's short, strong, colorful writing style. That's one reason the book seemed such a fast, exciting read. As for the character growth, I saw plenty of that. Marta became humbled and decided there were things in life worth more than work. And Benny learned not to be so "ice cold" and to put her associates first. I intend to buy and read every Lisa Scottoline book I can find.
An Excellent Read

I recently read Everywhere Mary Went and Legal Tender. They were excellent books. They were action-packed from the beginning to the end. Lisa Scottoline was consistent in her excellent writing ability when she wrote Rough Justice. However, I would have perferred a much slower ending. Such as the details of the interview with Marta during police questioning. I love connecting stories. Bringing Bennie, Mary, and Judy into this story was a great idea. I can't wait for Lisa's next book.
