I love, love, love Lisa Scottoline. Her books are fast paced, well researched, with believable twists and turns, and kick-ass heroines.
At first sight Natalie Greco doesn't seem a kick ass heroine. She's a law teacher, whom her students don't really pay attention to, comes from a rich and dominant italian family with an Attitude, and has a boyfriend who spends more time with her brothers than with her. She's also a serious bookworm. Serious.
Her life changes when Angus Holt, a hunky fellow teacher, convinces her to give a seminar at the local prison. Nat doesn't really feel comfortable with the idea, but goes along with the plan, only to find herself in the middle of a riot, almost raped, and the only person who hears a murdered officer's last words: Tell my wife it's under the floor.
Nat delivers the message to the grieving widow, and the next thing she knows, she's framed for murdering a cop, and has to run for her life. The answer lies with the cryptic message she had to deliver, and Nat will try to solve it while running away from the police and her overwhelming family.
I really liked this book. It's a great thriller, with just the perfect dose of romance thrown in.
