Publisher Description
Mary DiNunzio is strong, smart, and she's got plenty of attitude. In recent years, she's become a big-time business-getter at Rosato & Associates, but the last person she expects to walk into her office is Trish Gambone, her high school rival. Trish's life has taken a horrifying turn. She's terrified of her live-in boyfriend, who's an abusive, gun-toting drug dealer for the South Philly mob. There's only one problem—Mary remembers the guy, too, and had a major crush on him.
Before Mary knows it, Trish vanishes. Then a dead body turns up in an alley, and Mary is plunged into a nightmare. She goes on a one-woman crusade to unmask the killer, and on the way, finds new love in a very unexpected place. But before the novel's shocking surprise ending, Mary is forced to confront some very uncomfortable truths about her own past, and the profound effects of lifelong love—and hate.

"Lisa Scottoline has a great way of combining humor and suspense. I really enjoyed Mary as a character, and there was a decent twist at the end that I didn't really see coming. Just a nice, mystery-fluff to pass my lunch hour. "

" Just finished this. It is the first of hers I have read. Found it on clearance table at Barnes and Noble. Worth the money. I will certainly read others by her. "

" Nice plot. One of the 1st book I read of Lisa Scottoline. "
— Miyaness, 4/24/2011 -
" delightful mystery/romance with a touch of humor. "
— Susan, 4/14/2011 -
" As enjoyable as the other Scottoline legal thrillers. Doesn't rise to the caliber of her recent non-legal fiction, but shouldn't disappoint fans of the Risotto and Associates series. "
— Corinne, 3/7/2011 -
" This book was a bit silly. It was fairly repetitive and just a little too "out there" for my enjoyment. However, it was a quick and easy read if you're desperate. "
— Erin, 2/15/2011 -
" Kind of silly. Heroine is detective who helps her high school nemesis with mobster boyfriend. "
— Chris, 1/31/2011 -
" this was def more chick lit than thriller, but it was funny and enjoyable. "
— sis, 1/29/2011 -
" A friend recommended this author, but I like my mysteries heavier and less breezy. <br/>K. "
— Katrin, 1/24/2011 -
" I enjoy light mysteries to pass a quiet day at home and this did not disappoint. The female protagonist is spunky and I think Scottoline does a nice job with the dialogue and the story. I look forward to reading more! "
— Christine, 1/23/2011 -
" A pretty mind-less read but it had some LOL parts for sure! I love the all women law firm and Mary's Italian family. "
— Susan, 1/23/2011 -
" Barbara Rosenblat does an amazing job with the different character voices. Perfect audio book to keep from driving stress on the road. "
