Publisher Description
Mary DiNunzio gets a terrifying telephone call while she's working late, then goes home to find a shadow lurking at her front door. When a lawyer close to her turns up dead, Mary begins to suspect that the case she's been working on -- involving the suicide of an Italian-American in an internment camp during World War II -- may not be ancient history after all.

"Mary gets on an old case from 1942. She is working on a man who was an immigrant from Italy and sent to an internment camp in Montana. She is having a hard time getting information and all the records seem to be missing. She is still grieving the loss of her husband and trying to go on blind dates. One blind date proves that it could kill her. It was an intense book that had alot of suspense. There was police car chases, she was locked in the trunk of a car, she got punched in the face, then she returned the favor. All in a days work."

— JayJayJay, 2/11/2014 -

" Funny mystery story. Not very deep. "
— Lynn, 1/29/2014 -
" Good book. Easy read. Ending a little disappointing "
— Allene, 1/26/2014 -
" Once again, Ms Scottoline shows us that things aren't always what they seem. She weaves a story that starts with a part of American history that most Americans would rather not admit too, and many Americans aren't aware of. Some secrets are kept for many generations, and sometimes justice is late in coming. And for some, personal growth comes at times when you least expect it. "
— Shawn, 1/23/2014 -

" The best Scottoline i've read yet. Mary DiNuzio was funny as well as interesting. I'll continue thru the series "
— Jean, 11/12/2013 -
" I picked this book up in the library, and found it extremely readable. The character is humorous, foolhardy and flawed. Just like any good believable character. I really enjoyed this book, hope there are more "
— Carol, 1/17/2013 -
" This book started kind of slow, but improved as it went. This author likes to have the main character solve the mystery. I've read two books by this author and they were similar, ending with a twist. "
— Betty, 12/8/2012 -
" This author was recommended--not sure I agree. I was hoping it would be amusing but it was not. "
— Diane, 11/20/2012 -
" Basic detective novel. Nothing Earth shattering going on here. You're not missing much. "
— Aleksandra, 3/14/2012 -
" The puzzle to solve in this book just hooked me........I couldn't lay it down. "
— Patricia, 12/12/2011 -

— Judy, 4/3/2011 -
" I loved it but Mary was a little too silly in some places and the 11th hour twist a little neat. "
— Kathleen, 3/5/2011 -
" Suspenseful throughout the whole book, but i couldn't put it down. "
— Lyndsey, 2/28/2011 -
" Dated, but probably progressive when it was published. Part of the You Go Girl! feminism. I always like the way the author uses legal details, and she tells a solid story. "
— AJ, 2/19/2011 -
" Another great story by Lisa Scottloine! I just recently learned about the Italian Internment camps during WWII and here is a story about 2 internees. I love how her characters don't give up but doggedly <br/>follow through to the end getting the real story. "
— Carol, 1/30/2011 -
" I learned that Italian-Americans were interned during WWII. I had never heard of that before! The story was well written and kept me wondering what would happen next. "
— Nancy, 1/26/2011 -
" Making my way through the Rosato Associates mysteries... "
— Stacia, 1/21/2011 -
" Mary DiNunzio is by far my favorite Scottoline character! Killer Smile explores the link between history and law. With extremely intriguing historical facts, this book has it's slower moments, but Mary always keeps you entertained with her failure to follow procedure. "
— Amanda, 1/13/2011 -
" So far the intro is a little slow but I do find it interesting. I will see how far i can go. "
— Alisha, 1/8/2011 -
" Lisa Scottoline doesn't disappoint here....focus is on Mary DeNunzio as opposed to Rosato but still a high action plot! "
— Ac, 1/2/2011 -
" I often enjoy a good mystery. Mary, the main character, is investigating a lawsuit about Italian illigrant who died at an internment camp in Montana in 1942. I had not been aware that Italians not born in the U.S. had been interred and their property seized. <br/> <br/>It was a good read. "
— Florence, 1/2/2011 -
" My favorite by Lisa. I don't know why, but..it's an amazing book. :) "
— Julia, 12/30/2010 -
" I highly recommend this book. A great read. Lots of twists and turns in the plot and edge of your seat without a lot of sex. "
— Janice, 12/30/2010 -
" I usually like this author as a mindless, fun mystery read, but this one was not nearly as good as the earlier ones in the series. "
— Karen, 12/29/2010 -
" Interesting tale of Italian immigrant who has his idea stolen. Nice weaving of murder, intrigue and history. <br/><br/>Enjoyed the authors style, occasionally took a while to get to the point, but it was a fun read. Not too intense. Would be a great vacation or beach read.<br/> "
