Summary: Usually Reliable Scottoline Falters With This Weak Attempt
Comment: ROUGH JUSTICE finds Lisa Scottoline utilizing characters from previous novels(Mary DiNunzio and Judy Carrier from EVERYWHERE THAT MARY WENT)and Bennie Rosato(from the excellent LEGAL TENDER)and introducing another no-nonsense female protagonist, this time in the form of defense attorney Marta Richter. Richter is a high-profile lawyer retained by a Boston businessman when he's accused of murder during an attempted car-jacking. The crux of the novel is presented right up front--the trial is near-end, with the client likely to walk free thanks to Richter, when he drops a bombshell on her--he did in fact kill the victim, and not in self-defense. Beside herself, Richter sets out to find proof of her client's guilt, with help from local counsel Rosato & Associates, of which DiNunzio and Carrier are both associates. That's when the mess begins. Scottoline manages to introduce new, ultimately peripheral characters in almost every chapter, from ALL twelve jurors to the city mayor's chief of staff. It pretty much goes without saying that we don't care about these characters from word go, and that viewpoint doesn't change, leading to a book that is highly overpopulated and plot-malnourished. And the once likeable Mary DiNunzio is reduced to a senseless nitwit, while Rosato is just plain cold. The book manages to save itself a little in the last third, but those who expect more from the usually reliable Scottoline might not stick around long enough to find that out.

Summary: The Law book you'll never forget
Comment: Remember the best Law book you've ever read? Burn it. When you put your hands on ROUGH JUSTICE and start reading it, you'll never be able to put it away. Why? Cause you just don't think you're reading a book, but watching the best Law movie you've ever watched. The book is full of twists, action, wonderful characters that seem to be someone from your own family, and Lisa Scottoline goes beyond: she makes you laugh by the way she describe things and put sentences into people's mouth. SHE'S AN AMAZING AUTHOR! Remember the guy who you think is the best author of the genre? Forget him. Buy this book and see why I'm so in love with Lisa's books. Just don't start reading it if you have to work the next day.
