Don't miss this book!
Mary DiNunzio is my favorite Lisa Scottoline heroine. I was thrilled to find that she was back as the narrator of Lady Killer . . . and was even happier when I found what a wonderful story Ms. Scottoline had crafted around this delightful character.
Lady Killer is a term that usually refers to a man who wows women . . . even against their better judgment. As the book opens, there's a different meaning. Heart-throb Bobby Mancuso has been hooked up with Trish Gambone since high school, but he's turned into a drug-dealing, connected villain who continually threatens Trish's health and safety. Now he's threatening to kill Trish.
Based on being acquainted in high school, Trish comes to see Mary seeking safety from being killed. Mary proposes legal alternatives . . . none of which appeal to Trish. That's where matters would have ended, except that Trish and Bobby go missing that night. Mary gets the blame from Trish's friends and family, and Mary digs in to see what she can do. The cops aren't very interested and Mary finds herself turning detective.
Life is more complicated than this sounds. Mary's legal practice is booming, and she has to ignore the rest of her clients to help Trish. This annoys virtually everyone else.
In addition, Mary used to tutor Bobby in high school . . . and the two dated for awhile.
Can Mary save Trish? Can we ever escape high school? Can Mary find happiness as a lawyer for the angry people in South Philly? Can Mary get a life?
Lisa Scottoline's interesting story races along all these tracks at the same time. It's good story telling . . . and even better reading.
In the process, you'll get to know Mary as you've never known her before. I think you'll like what you learn about her.
