Publisher Description

Hours after 22-year-old Brett Allen finds her boyfriend brutally slain, she finds herself in police custody, the prime suspect. Her aunt, Caroline Masters, is summoned to act as her defense attorney. The result is a painful meeting with Brett, whom Caroline has not seen since infancy, and a confrontation with 3 people from whom she is deeply estranged: her first lover who is now the prosecutor, her half-sister, and most difficult of all, her domineering father. The story moves quickly now, opening into the police investigation and the courtroom. Yet the truths about herself and her family that Caroline ultimately uncovers are painful beyond the deepest doubts and shocking beyond the deepest fears that haunt her adult life - and make up the explosive core of the author's most powerful novel to date.

"A good read, the heroine Caroline Masters is about to be appointed as a court judge when she hears that her niece is suspected of the murder of her boyfriend. She travels to where her family, including Caroline's father, live which is on the North East Coast of America. There are a couple of flashbacks - one where we find that Caroline's mother died in a car crash after having an affair with a local lothario and the other tells us that Caroline had a fling with a man who was a Vietnam draft dodger. The last we hear about this man is when he decamps via boat in the general direction of Canada after someone, we think Caroline's father, snitches on him to the local law. Meanwhile, in the present, the prosecution have found a 'witness' with some potentially damaging testimony against her niece. Caroline decides to take the case, and there are some enjoyable court room scenes in the book. I didn't spot the twist in the story, which is always a good sign for me, and the tale has a satisfactory and understandable ending. My favourite book so far by this author."

    " I wish I would have read this book before I read "Portect and Defend" - a lot of the questions are answered in this book about Caroline Masters. I love this character she is amazing. The legal cases in both books really have twists and turns and are fun! This one is is a murder mystery... "

    " This book had alot of unexpected twists and surprises in it,which made it readable.However,there were too many things that happened to some of the characters that they meekly allowed to happen,which I found to be frustratingly unacceptable.I doubt that even the Amish would put up with too much shit.
