A review by bheadley
Damaged by Lisa Scottoline
4.0
I hate books with a premise of violence against children, but... I thought Lisa (our author) did a great job writing a story true to the Rosato and DiNunzio characters. (Side note: now that we know a tiny bit more about Bennie, I was surprised she’d be so heartless about Patrick)
One of the many things I love about this series is there is always a scary moment that makes sense. I love the characters and their personalities, Mary’s compassion that defines her, her loyalty, her friends, her family, all of it!
Mary is a lawyer, which to me doesn’t blend well with compassion, but she is great. She takes a case involving a special needs child, whose needs have been completely ignored. Then the drama just escalates to the boy being sued, the grandpa (sole family for the child) dead, and more!
I do enjoy these stories because their is a happy ending. Not one you would expect/want/prefer, but there is enough negative news that these books have the heart and soul for me!
