Legal Tender by Lisa Scottoline

3.0

Legal Tender was a very easy, very far-fetched but entertaining read. Bennie is an attorney accused of multiple murders and is on the run for the entire book. She hides in plain sight (at 6’ tall, bright red hair, and a bright yellow car) and manages to always escape the police despite many close calls. During this time, she’s trying to figure out who the real murderer is and takes ridiculous chances. She has a constant dialogue with herself a la Gilmore girls style (always on, quick wit, punchy). She is suspicious of a couple of people close to her and can trust no one. The book wraps up very quickly and the murderer is not anyone you would really suspect because there isn’t enough backstory on anyone but Bennie. Not a believable story but entertaining nonetheless.
