Devil's Corner by Lisa Scottoline
3.0
This was a selection for the library mystery book club. I missed the discussion meeting, so am not certain how the group felt about the book.
It was a satisfying read. I don't know how realistic it is that an attorney would be investigating a case, as prosecutor Vicki Allegretti was in police jurisdiction and potentially disrupting crime scenes left and right.
Also, Vicki was the type of character who ignored the commands and wishes of her boss. This type of behavior would normally get a person fired or put on suspension, and while it was alluded to as a possibility, never happened.
I was not enchanted by the romantic storyline, but that's a personal preference.
It was a good read. It was not a book I would buy to read again or just to have. I don't know about you, but if I love a book, I like to have it on my shelf, even if I may never read it again. It's like a friend.
