Rosato and Associates are back with Mary DiNunzio now as a partner! Seeing Bennie share her "power" and watching Mary assert herself more is intriguing to see. One thing that I enjoy about this series is seeing the characters grow. I will say here that this is technically NOT the first book in the Rosato series. The first book is [b:Everywhere That Mary Went|307644|Everywhere That Mary Went (Rosato & Associates, #1)|Lisa Scottoline|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348776408i/307644._SY75_.jpg|916879] where we are introduced to Mary, Bennie and the gang. The series "spins-off" here as Mary is now a partner so it is called Rosato & DiNunzio.

In the "Accused" we have a 13 year old client, Allegra, hiring the gang to look into her sister's murder. Allegra's sister was murdered 6 years ago, and the accused Lonnie Stall was arrested and charged for the crime. Stall had even pleaded guilty. Allegra thinks there is more to the case and so she talks the law firm into helping her.

I really enjoy this series because of the characters. I have been reading this series since Judy's story and then went back to book 1 and binge read them. They are light fast read perfect for when you want more than fluff but nothing heavy.
