A review by judithdcollins
Accused by Lisa Scottoline

4.0

Very well done! I have read a number of Lisa’s books and Accused was outstanding (Rosato & Associates #12)! It was nice to hear from Judy, Mary, and the gang (her parents are a riot)!

Mary (now partner), is hired by a 13 yr old brilliant and wealthy girl (Allegra) to investigate her sister (Fiona)’s murder. Even though another guy (Lonnie) is in prison –she feels he is innocent. A good mystery (tried voting for this book as 2013 Mystery of the Year; however, it does not come up).

Mary is now engaged to Anthony with mothers on both sides forcing their own bridal gown, as she is in the middle of reopening and investigating a murder investigation. Mary wants to help Allegra and has to fight off her father and many others along the way as she is determined to find the truth.

Mary begins to uncover facts which prove Lonnie’s innocence and the family lawyer is involved with some other secrets (which I will not disclose – An engaging mystery, with humor, and lots of laughs. The audio was excellent by January Lavoy – highly recommend – one of Scottoline’s best books!
