Rating:  Summary: She's right up there with Turow and Grisham. Review: This book kept my interest from beginning to end. It seemed implausible to me that twins would not be known to each other but this was explained satisfactorily by the author. Scottoline is very talented. She gives her characters life and believability. I look forward to reading her prior works as well as future novels.
Rating:  Summary: Suspense thriller that you can not but down!!! Review: This book was a good read and was very hard to put down. It was amazing how she intertwines all the characters in the book to be all connected to the main characters. There were so many characters that were so diverse that it was so hard to keep up with each character. However despite this the book was another stunning Bernie Rosetto book. It is a must read for who ever likes the author. However if you are not great fan of Lisa Scottline this book will definitely covert you to the other side of liking the author. This is the best book that has Bennie Rosetto as the main character of the story and shows a completely new side to Bernie Rosetto that as a reader I have never in countered. This book is brilliant and i hope that all her books will be this well written and excellent.
Rating:  Summary: Female John Grisham she isn't! Review: This could be an enjoyable book if the language could be cleaned up somewhat. There are too many loose ends left dangling at the end of the book. Much too long for the content. I have read most of the other reviews & I agree that it isn't a total waste of time, but she is not a female John Grisham.
Rating:  Summary: TWIN--WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??? Review: This is the 6th Lisa Scottoline book I have read and except for some loose ends and sometimes the language, I think it is the best one I have read. Bennie Rosato is a very good lawyer, she is contacted by Alice Connolly who claims to be her twin. Alice is in jail for a murder she says she did not do. Bennie takes the case and then begins to uncover a conspiracy between the cops involved an attorney and even the judge. A retired cop, named Lou, is very helpful. I hope he is used again. The case goes to trial, you don't know until the last if Connolly is guilty or not or is she is a twin to Rosato or not.And after the trail, what happenes to Connolly. It all has a very good twist to the ending, at least one I did not expect. The action moves better than some of her other books and I enjoyed it very much. Would love to write the ending as it is very shocking but you will have to read the book.
Rating:  Summary: Incredible, The best so far. Review: This is the best book I've ever read, It Grabs you and don't let go. A fast pace page turner that will keep you glued to your seat and wanting more. A MUST read for all thriller lovers. I can't wait for her next One. I've ordered all her previous ones. This book is Totally AWESOME
Rating:  Summary: Fast Paced Thriller Review: This is the first Lisa Scottoline book that I read and I enjoyed it. The plot was interesting and the characters were terrific. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys legal thrillers or even just a good mystery. I was so impressed by this author that I am planning on getting her newest novel - Courting Trouble. It is another Bennie Rosato book and her associates are still with her. Looking forward to reading it.
Rating:  Summary: Loved this book! Review: This is the first of Scottoline's books that I have read. I enjoyed it so much I immediately ordered four more, and have only two left to read. This is only impressive if you realize I work full-time and go to school in the evening, so I have very little recreational reading time. She is one of the best, if not THE best, mystery author I have ever read. I'm looking forward to more from her.
Rating:  Summary: great read Review: This was my first book by Lisa Scottoline and it won't be my last. The story took off from the first chapter and had good interesting characters.Plenty of suspense, twists and an ending that surprised me.Highly recommended!
Rating:  Summary: Way Too Long Review: This was my first Lisa Scottoline book, and I'm not sure if I'll continue with her works or not.My main problem was the length of this book. A novel is 300 pages or so. At close to 600 pages, this started to feel like a chore to finish, especially since there was so much I felt could've been condensed or omitted to make it more manageable. It was also hard for me to get into it because I found the character of Bennie so unlikeable. She thinks her client might be the twin she never knew she had, yet she constantly refers to her by her last name? That just didn't sit well with me, nor did the almost condescending way she treated her associates and boyfriend. I also found it unbelievable that someone who was supposed to be so smart and ethical would not only fall for the "you're my twin" bit with no proof, but that she wouldn't walk off the case when she came to know all the horrible things Alice had done. A lot of the events also seemed too contrived and convenient. Ms. Scottoline really should concentrate on paring down her books. That would go a long way to increasing the star rating.
Rating:  Summary: A DISAPPOINTING FIRST READ OF THIS AUTHOR Review: This was my first, and probably last, of Lisa Scottoline's novels. I was very disappointed in the end (reminded me of Grisham's "Testament") in that there were many unanswered questions. The story really didn't live up to the review on the back cover. I won't be passing this book on to friends. A very disappointed amount of money spent and several hours wasted. I kept thinking it would get better, it never did.
