KIRKUS REVIEW

It’s associate Judy Carrier’s turn to feel the heat at Rosato& DiNunzio, Philadelphia’s premier all-female law firm. And girl, does sheever.

Founding partner Bennie Rosato thinks she’s doing Judy a favorby giving her a chance?that is, requiring her?to hammer out settlements for 75asbestos-liability cases. It’s exactly the sort of work that could establishher as a rainmaker and pave the way for her to become a partner. That’s notquite how Judy sees it. She doesn’t want to argue down the worth of eachindividual life lost to mesothelioma. More important, she’s already got herhands full with Linda Adler’s sex discrimination suit against PennBank when abigger bombshell lands: Her beloved Aunt Barb is about to go under the knifefor breast cancer. As usual with Scottoline (Accused,?2013, etc.), it getsworse. Hours after meeting the illegal Mexican immigrant Barb Moyer describesas her best friend, Judy gets a call telling her that Rita Lopez?or, as AuntBarb knew her, Iris Juarez?has been found dead behind the wheel of her car. TheEast Grove police and the coroner’s office say she died of natural causes. Judydoesn’t think so, especially once Father Keegan, the pastor of Iris’ church, iskilled in a convenient hit-and-run accident. How can Judy juggle the demands ofthe case she’s working, the 75 cases she’d rather not work, the unofficial caseAunt Barb has handed her and the domestic drama all these complications arebound to stir up? By kicking major butt in a typically unconvincing third act,that’s how.

But exemplary first and second acts are enough to make this themost successful melding to date of Rosato & DiNunzio’s cases andScottoline’s family-centered stand-alones (Keep Quiet,?2014, etc.).
