The Vendetta Defense Audiobook

" It's been in-progress for a long time. I just can't get into it. I will eventually finish it! "

" I listened to this on cassette, and Barbara Rosenblat does a wonderful job with the reading. This story centers on Judy Carrier, as Mary DiNunzio is recuperating from her gunshots from Moment of Truth. Judy is a little like Stephanie Plum in character, but a gentler version. From the novels, it appears that Mary and Judy are too busy saving the world to ever sleep. Bennie, the owner of the law firm, has been sidelined as an over the hill old maid, which I feel is cruel. I enjoyed the parallel stories of Italy in the 1940's and Philadelphia in current times. The dialogue and adventures are very light-hearted, and cause many laughs. A fun read. "

" This was a pretty good story - just a little language in the middle. "

" Probably one of my favorites! "

" This is a really fun read; especially if you are familiar with South Philly. I liked the characters and dialogue. "

" Book was great!!! I fell in love for Pigeon Tony & was routing for him!! By the end, i could not put the book down! "

" This is a terrific story. Having lived in Philly years ago I connected with the South Philly flavor. "

" A great author, a great book. After a few pages I couldn't put it down. "

" I read this book twice, years apart. I would read it again. I love the characters and Tony, and the Italian family. I love all of Lisa's books, but some of them make you want to move into the neighborhood! "

" Scottoline created a wonderful character in Pigeon Tony and brings Italian South Philly vividly to life. "

" I would never have picked this up on my own, but it's really sucked me in. I may want to read more by this author. "

" I felt this was a little drawn out. Decent book but not great. Took me awhile to read it. "

" This is my personal favorite Lisa Scottoline book. I love her books, they're well written and suspenseful but also have some humorous parts and are enjoyable and fun to read. "

" The best Lisa Scottolone I've read yet...and I have genuinely enjoyed all the previous books. If you have not tried her mystery/murder/courtroom adventures, "Vendetta Defense" would be a great place to start. "

" One of my faves from Lisa Scottoline "

" Okay so the story has finally made me want to read it. The last few chapters have really grabbed be. Looking forward to finding out the twist. Have a feeling where it is going but not sure. Some thing tells me the old man didn't do it, but I could be wrong. We will see. "

" From the first page you will fall in love with Pigeon Tony, even though you know he murdered someone. Great book! "

" Loved learning more about Judy Carrier, but I skipped the flashback sections of the book. I like these books for nonstop action, and the flashbacks interrupted the flow. "

" Wow, what a story. I just fell in love with Pigeon Tony. "

" Love this series. Easy read. "

" Good story. Similar to other Scottoline novels, great first person narration and self depricating humor. "

" enjoyed this read...simple but entertaining "

" # 8 and my all time favorite in this series. Pigeon Tony was delightful and the peek in the Italian immigrant culture was especially wonderful. "

" All of Scottoline's books are entertaining, but this was not one of the best. Still enjoyed it. "

" I liked the writing. I HATED the actual legal defense - The Vendetta Defense. I understood it intellectually, but kept thinking this would be horrible if a jury bought it. "

" Lawyer Judy Carrier takes the case of Pigeon Tony, accused of murder, and admitting he did it "

" Fun read - this is the first I've read by Scottoline. "

" I really loved this book and am looking for another like it. "

" My personal favorite of the Scottoline books. Such a touching love story is unearthed in the process of solving the mystery. "

" This was a pretty good story - just a little language in the middle. "

" This is now the third book I have read in two years that deals with homing pigeons. Who would have thought that this subject would traverse the world, showing up in Israeli literature (Yonah v'Naar [A Pigioen and a Boy], the Dove Flier, and in a Phildelphia detective story? "

" I like the way this author writes with all her editor comments throughout the story - I really liked the story and the way the author weaved it all together. "

" One of my faves from Lisa Scottoline "

" Scottoline created a wonderful character in Pigeon Tony and brings Italian South Philly vividly to life. "

" This book was unexpectedly good. It is a warm and interesting look at some legal matters. It was handled in a way that was interesting and not tiring. I enjoyed it. J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" "

" From the first page you will fall in love with Pigeon Tony, even though you know he murdered someone. Great book! "

" If this was made into a movie,I could see Chazz Palminteri as the grandfather and James Franco playing the grandson! Another good one for the author. "

" Fun book to read or listen to. I like Scottoline's female lawyer characters and this is her best book about them that I've read. The story is also her best. "
