In New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline’s electrifying, Edgar nominated, first novel in her Rosato & Associates series, a young lawyer at an all-female law firm must stay one step ahead of a stalker who has a deadly agenda.
“A page turner that whips through legal labyrinths and emotional mazes.”—Nora Roberts
Mary DiNunzio has been slaving away for the past eight years trying to make partner in her cutthroat Philadelphia law firm. She’s too busy to worry about the crank phone calls she’s been getting—until they fall into a sinister pattern. The phone rings as soon as she gets to work, then as soon as she gets home.
Mary can’t shake the sensation that someone is watching her, following her every move. The shadowboxing turns deadly when her worst fears are realized, and she has to fight for something a lot more important than partnership—her life.

"I bought this Audiobook because I was going on a roadtrip and wanted something to listen to, that didn't cost a fortune. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the story and immediately went out and bought more of Lisa's books. Great storyline."

" While I've wanted to read this for a really long time, It was just ok. Too many secondary characters in my opinion. I'm glad that her writing has definitely gotten better. I remember reading some of Scottoline's books in this series (Rosato & Associates) and enjoying them immensely. From what I recall, the firm is mainly made up of women. "
— Beth, 2/17/2014" I enjoyed this, but I'm glad that Scottoline got better after this first one. "
— Purple, 1/30/2014" This was the first book in the series- Kept my intrest -a page turner "
— Pj, 1/4/2014" I had not read any lisa scottoline books before reading "my next husband will be a dog". lisa's writing style intrigued me so I chose this first novel to see what her legal mysteries were like. this was very enjoyable and I will definitely read her again. "
— Kathy, 1/2/2014" This was not one of my favorite books of Lisa Scottoline's. I enjoy her more recent books better but still enjoyed reading this one. I've added the 2nd in the series to my list of books to read :) "
— Lynnski, 12/22/2013" Light reading, new author and series to get into. "
— Sparkie, 12/17/2013" Good book, but not great. I liked Mary's character and will probably read book 2 in this series someday. "
— Kenny, 11/23/2013" I probably enjoyed this more than I otherwise would have because of the Philadelphia setting. "
— Joy, 11/19/2013" I stopped reading this because I found the language too offensive. Too bad, because I like the author's stories. "
— Marsha, 11/4/2013" I love Lisa Scottoline. Her books are fun and suspenseful without being cynical and hardnosed. The characters and their flaws are always real. This is the first in a series and I definitely will be reading more! "
— Elizabeth, 8/5/2013" Cute book, but not great literature. It is a nice start to a mystery series that has intrigued me enough to continue reading. However, it is very predictable, and there wasn't enough character development for me. I suspect because Scottoline was anticipating that this would be a series. "
— Chris, 7/22/2013" One of the better of the Rosato & Associates. Mary's my favorite Rosato lawyer. "
— Peg, 4/22/2013" Great book. Very interesting characters -- Scottoline's writing makes you feel like you are right in the middle of things. "
— Sharon, 4/16/2013" Love Lisa's women lawyer series, but this is not one of her best. It didn't hold together as well as most of them do. "
— Bonnie, 1/4/2013" She always keeps the story moving! I really enjoy her books! "

— Peggy, 7/18/2012" Kept me guessing in turn kept my attention "
— Hilly, 6/6/2012" An engaging mystery. Well written. "
— Carey, 5/10/2012" Unlikely plot, poorly developed characters, and, in a word "harlequin". Surely this book was either written by, or intended for, a teenager. "
— Anie, 4/13/2012" I loved this book! Lisa Scottoline is a fantastic author and she sucked me in to this book right away. I thought I knew who the stalker was about halfway through the book, but the actual person really caught me off guard. I would recommend this book! "
— Melissa, 1/15/2012" It was a pretty good read. The ending kind of came out of nowhere for me. It was a quick easy read that kept me interested. "
— Carole, 11/2/2011" This is one of the 3 books I have read by Scottoline and the best of the 3. I'll keep reading more! "
— Patrick, 10/13/2011" Thought this book dragged somewhat, but didn't want to quit before I knew what happened! "
— Diane, 8/1/2011" Thought this book dragged somewhat, but didn't want to quit before I knew what happened! "
— Diane, 5/20/2011" It was OK, I thought it a bit ridiculous at the end, and highly unprobable. "
— Sally, 5/5/2011" A predictable legal thriller. "
— Kevin, 4/14/2011" I was going along with the whole story - despite the useless pop culture references from the early 1990s - right up until the killer is revealed. What an idiotic climax. I won't be reading the rest of the books in this series. "
— Verena, 4/13/2011" So far so good...I have only read one chapter. I just finished "Daddy's Girl" by Scottoline and just loved it. Fast-paced; a real page turner with an unexpected ending. "
— Kathleen, 3/24/2011" Kept me guessing in turn kept my attention "

— Peggy, 3/2/2011" I enjoyed enough to get another of her books. This is fun reading, helps me relax after difficult or tiring days. "
— Rebecca, 2/26/2011" Boring...didn't finish. I liked her books about her life, but found her fiction uninspiring and slow. Sorry Lisa. "
— Janice, 2/11/2011" I enjoy Lisa Scottoline even more now, since I live in the city where all her novels take place. This one was quite suspenseful and a quick, easy read. "
— Beth, 2/6/2011" Bleh. Too much cursing, too much sex, too much disparaging religion. I think I'm done with this author. "
— Magda, 2/2/2011" I'm not definitely ruling out reading books by Lisa Scottoline in the future, but this one was pretty silly. "
— Petula, 1/19/2011" Was a little disappointed in this book. Just needed some 'meat' in it. "
