At its heart this a basic legal thriller, with all the gruesome details and drama that you would expect. What makes it really pop is that Jones herself is an attorney and she lifts the curtain to show what that life is really like. Which she is not shy about -- when one member of our book club expressed interest in going to law school she was unceremoniously told not to by Jones, our book club leader (the real life inspiration for Jess Lafayette), and a third lawyer in our group. They tell it like it is, and that makes this book fun.

I'd expected maybe more pitfalls in the case to heighten suspense and more romance, but I really loved that the story was set in Arizona, and all the little local jokes made it fun.
