Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Lilly Cleary (1)
Lilly Cleary is an attorney for a prestigious Sarasota law firm. But her killer cross-examination technique and take-no-prisoners courtroom attitude haven't stopped the senior partners from dumping one stink bomb after another on her desk--like the kayak-whiplash case she's currently saddled with. And problems at home, specifically with her ex-boyfriend, aren't making her disposition any sunnier. But it isn't until she's mugged outside her office that her troubles really begin. And when someone puts a bullet hole in her favorite suit, Lilly realizes things are getting a bit too personal. Perhaps it has something to do with a malpractice lawsuit she's inherited, and her recently and suspiciously deceased doctor client. Lilly's not going to take the insult lying down--even if tracking a killer leads her into dangerously deep water. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Lilly Cleary is a defense attorney in Sarasota, Florida (the location being the initial draw for me). She's clinically OCD, pragmatic and cynical. She loves animals and tries to be as good a person as any situation allows. I love her and probably identify with her more than a little bit.
A series of odd, seemingly unconnected events crash into Lilly's life, including the abrupt murder of one of her clients, a doctor being sued for malpractice. Lilly isn't trying to solve any mysteries, except the one concerning how she's going to get through her caseload without losing her career or dying herself.
The writing is excellent: intelligent, witty and clear. The plot is really well constructed too; the reader is along for the ride as Lilly tries to juggle her case load and her personal life. As Lilly prepares for her trial work, the clues come in: some subtle, some not, but there's enough there that the reader can put it all together right along with Lilly.
Claire Matturo wrote a total of 4 Lilly Cleary books, and I'm thrilled I own all of them. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries; I classify it as cozy on my shelves, but it really isn't. It's just a great read. ( )
