I didn't get a good sense of this new character, though. She is Italian, yes, but what else? I liked her desire to be like the families depicted in Olive Garden ads. Maybe this is indicative of a lack of "personality" or personal history? ( ) This book was ok, but not great. The main character, Vicki, was annoying and makes poor choices. The most annoying thing was her relationship with Dan., her married coworker. There is no way she should end up with him. Vicki is supposed to be a smart professional, but her personal life is definitely a mess. The most interesting character in the book is Reheema, the woman who Vicki feels was framed for a crime she didn't commit. Together, they team up to investigate the case. The whole plot just feels unrealistic. I got to the point where they've solved who killed Morty and wondered what the author would have to discuss in 12 more chapters. For whatever reason, she decided to have who killed Raheema's mother be a separate plot that still needed to be figured out in an extra 12 chapters. Unfortunately, this type of plot seems to be the author's norm in both books of hers that I have read. I also didn't like wondering if Dan would dump Vicki for a promotion that made him her boss. Vicki Allegretti has to be the dumbest US Assistant District Attorney I've read. She constantly ignores danger, the rules and her superiors even after being suspended without pay with a cavalier attitude of "I can't believe I was so naive." The book has a grabber of a beginning when she goes to meet a confidential informant and there's a robbery in progress that results in the shooting deaths of the C.I. and her police partner. While on suspension she decides to talk with the C.I.'s mother who's a drug addict and gets her wallet with money and credentials stolen. What does she do? Vicki follows her to where she's going to buy her drugs and the woman is shot. It's one risky thing after another especially after befriending loose cannon Rheema. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline delivers a knockout stand-alone thriller featuring a young federal prosecutor who risks her life to bring down the kingpin of a conspiracy responsible for murders in West Philly. Assistant U.S. Attorney Vicki Allegretti goes to meet a confidential informant and finds herself facing a loaded 9 mm Glock semiautomatic weapon, wielded by a panicky teenager. Violence is the last thing this neophyte lawyer expects. The case is easy, the kind given to new ADAs to help them cut their teeth. Yet almost before she has time to react, her partner is dead, shot in the chest. From that high-octane introduction to her job, Vicki vows to continue with the case, protect her informant, and find the shadowy figure behind the death of her partner. This decision will take her to the depths of the federal detention center's “bowl,” to a row house on the street where she grew up, and to the posh suburbs where her parents now live. Set against the gritty backdrop of a modern American city and imbued with Lisa Scottoline's trademark style and wit, Cater Street is the story of a determined young lawyer seeking justice. .Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
