At glitzy Lake Tahoe, couples break up every day, but none quite so glamorous or successful as Lindy and Mike Markov. The scenario starts off in the standard way: Mike’s met a younger woman and wants out. The problem? Mike and Lindy built a $200-million business together and Mike claims he doesn’t owe Lindy a dime since they never married. Ready to fight, Lindy hires Nina Reilly to represent her in her palimony suit, and lacking the resources to handle a case with stakes so high, Nina turns to an expert litigator in palimony law who insists on hiring a jury consultant. The case is hardly open-and-shut, and complicating things further, a carefully chosen juror winds up dead. With a host of possible suspects and the biggest case of her career hanging in the balance, the pressure’s on Nina to find the killer, win the case, and save the day.

"This was a very good book. Kept my interest from the very beginning. I enjoyed the look into the judicial system. Especially enjoyed the manner in which the jury deliberations were portrayed. Looking forward to the next in the series. " — Carol (4 out of 5 stars)
"This was a very good book. Kept my interest from the very beginning. I enjoyed the look into the judicial system. Especially enjoyed the manner in which the jury deliberations were portrayed. Looking forward to the next in the series. "
" Thought this book was kinda corny. If I would have notice it was part of a series, when I was checking out this author I would have started from the beginning. Not sure if I will now, maybe. "
" Finally, venturing off to a new author. Love this lady lawyer character and her love life. Lake Tahoe lawyer, Nina Reillly takes a palimony case that could make her rich or leave her with nothing at all. "
" I find the Nina Reilly lawyer mysteries pleasant, fast reads. This was one of her most intriguing. Yes, you can see some developments coming, but it's the ones you don't see that make it entertaining! "
" Two books in 30 hours. Hello summer vacation! "
" The setting is great, Lake Tahoe. The writing is a bit contrived. I picked this up as a free read in a hotel library. "
" This was a very good book. Kept my interest from the very beginning. I enjoyed the look into the judicial system. Especially enjoyed the manner in which the jury deliberations were portrayed. Looking forward to the next in the series. "
" This was another good read by the sisters, Perri O'shaughnessy. It kept you guessing to the end. "
" Again, I listened to this one while driving. I really liked it and I'll listen to the next in the series. Love to "read" about local areas and O'Shaughnessy's plots keep me awake and interested. "
" I used to love legal thrillers, but the thrill has wore off. Oh, well. O.k. story, just not my thing anymore. "
" a reread before I recycle. This series doesn't wear as well as some. "
" #4 Nina O'Reilly -- palimony case "
" I generally really enjoy this series, but I found this one highly offensive in the section about jury selection. "
" Pretty good. . .a little case of having to put too much into one book (honestly could have encompassed a few different books) but a pretty good read. "
" This book was just so-so. I have liked this author's books in the past because of the setting....Lake Tahoe...and the legal thriller aspect. The motivation in this one seemed weak and I didn't like the way the main character behaved. "
" An interesting criminal lawyer read. "
" As always, a real page turner from the start. Lots of detail and intelligent writing. It's easy to "live" these books as one reads them. On to "Acts of Malice" next. I'm hooked on this series! "
" Great boat chase on Lake Tahoe at the end of the story!! "
" Better than the last, latest, two I've read but still, somewhat lacking. "
