" Had high hopes I'd found a new author with several books that I would like. This was pretty disappointing and the end was obviously wrapped up while the author was running out the back door to her publishers. "

" Started reading My Lost Daughter and then realized that I had missed reading The Cheater, which features the same characters. So, I went back and read this one first so I was up to date on the characters. Interestingly some of the same descriptions and flashbacks are identical in each book. Rosenberg doesn't even try use different words to describe the settings or events....just reprints them from each book. I shouldn't complain though, at least she makes an effort to bring you back up to speed on the characters so you really could read one without the other. I don't think you will find another fictional character judge (the main character Lily) so morally and emotionally conflicted. She is co-dependent on men, women, whatever meets her needs and keeps her from being on her own, and at times I thought her personal decisions to be immature. I wish Rosenberg would have resolved the case in the courtroom about the little boy who was murdered by his parents who overdosed him on bipolar medicine and ritalin. I like Lily better as a judge, presiding over her cases, then reading about her personal mess of a life. Now I am going to go back and finish My Lost Daughter. "

" Good plot and kept me interested, but I didn't like the coarse language, and the end happened too quickly. Lily wasn't entirely sympathetic. Maybe if I'd read some of the earlier books first I would have found her more engaging. "
