Publisher Description

Natalie Greco loves being a law professor, even though she secretly feels like Faculty Comic Relief. She loves her family, too, but as a bookworm, doesn't quite fit into the cult of Greco football, headed by her father, the team captain. The one person whom she feels most connected to is her colleague Angus Holt, a guy with a brilliant mind, gorgeous façade, and a penchant for helping those less fortunate. When he talks Nat into teaching a class at a local prison, her world turns upside down.

A violent prison riot breaks out during the class, and in the chaos, Nat rushes to help a grievously injured guard. Before he dies, he asks her to deliver a cryptic message: "Tell my wife it's under the floor."

Plunged into a nightmare, Nat suddenly finds herself suspected of a brutal murder and encounters threats to her life. Now, not only are the cops after her, but ruthless killers are desperate to keep her from exposing their secret. In the meantime, she gets dangerously close to Angus, shaking her dedication to her safe boyfriend.

With her love life in jeopardy, her career in the balance, and her life on the line, Nat must rely on her resources, her intelligence, and her courage. Forced into hiding to stay alive, she sets out to save herself by deciphering the puzzle behind the dead guard's last words...and learns the secret behind the greatest puzzle of all—herself.

Filled with the ingenious twists, pulse-pounding narrative drive, and dynamic, flesh-and-blood characters, Daddy's Girl is another wild, entertaining ride from the addictively readable Lisa Scottoline.

"Good suspenseful book. I guess I would classify this as a crime mystery. A law professor accompanies a colleague into a prison to teach a law class to criminals. While she is there, a riot breaks out and she is assaulted. However, when the details come out in the newspaper, they are not reflective of what really happened. When she starts to dig, the warnings and threats begin. One of those good books where you don't know which characters to trust and who's lying."

Quotes

  • “While not as sexually supercharged or frenetically paced as Dirty Blonde, Daddy’s Girl derives its power from the subtle and compelling coming-of-age of protagonist Greco, a sheltered and socially naïve woman who, when faced with the ultimate adversity, discovers herself.”

    — Barnes & Noble, editorial review
  • “Scottoline’s characters are fully dimensional; Rosenblat breathes life into them. The author’s cast is large; Rosenblat invents a huge range of voices to enliven the exciting story.”

    — AudioFile
  • “This one finds the author in good form, combining suspense- and character-building effectively.”

    " Prison riot leaves people dead, and the protagonist, a law professor, becomes involved in figuring out they were murdered. Sort of slow; too much other stuff about boyfriend and family. "

    " A great audiobook "read"! Laugh-out-loud funny in places. Enough twists and turns to keep me guessing to the end. Meaningful exploration of what "justice" means, with references to "The Merchant of Venice" and the Underground Railroad. "

    " This is the second book I read by her and I love all the twist and turns her books take. BUT - I hate the epilogues she writes - everything doesnt have to be wrapped up in a pretty bow at the end and she ruins the book each time this way. I might read one more and just not read the epilogue "

    " Having read "Lady Killer" first, I had some expectations for this book. However, I was pleasantly surprised and found that I actually like it better than "Lady Killer". An easy beach read even for the fall months when it is cool and dreary. Enjoyed this quick read. "

    " The main character, Nat Greco reminded me of a miniature Steven Segal. She can make it through anything without getting caught or killed. Still, I wanted to keep reading to find out who was all involved in the coverup. "

    " The title was pretty misleading, as there's not a sense of her being a daddy's girl so much as she's somewhat under the thumb of her boisterous, mostly male family. Not my favorite Scottoline "
