April 19, 2008: Love mysteries? OR are you more into legal thrillers? Either way, you must give this book a shot. It combines the best of a mystery with the suspense and pacing of a thriller, without all the gory violence, and it's hilarious to boot. I couldn't ask for more, and I'm waiting impatiently for the next one in the series.

February 20, 2006: Former Ohio corporate attorney December Vaughn has moved to sunny Florida. She has her own civil trial practice, but no furniture for her house. Seems the moving company enjoys its nepotist tendencies and her possessions are AWOL. But that is the least of December's worries. ..................... Her first case is from Charlie Deaver. His wife died due to bad insilin produced by BDC, Inc. BDC is represented by the big guns at Langley & Cowan. When Langley tries to intimidate December, he only suceeds in making her dig in her three-inch heels. ....................... Things soon become deadly, even involving an allegator that is set loose in December's new office. But December is not a wimpy blond! She has several mismatched people on her side. Max is the gorgeous and very talented office manager. Elderly Mr. Ellison is a jack-of-all-trades type of man. Emily is a card-shark, perfect housewife, and seems to kow a bit about almost every topic. Aunt Celia knows everybody that lives within a three or four county area. A large group of elderly women labelled the 'casserole brigade'. And then there is the former Navy SEAL turned P.I. Jake Brody. .................... By the time things are over December should consider writing her imaginary book titled 'How to Stay Alive and Lose Weight in Thirty Days'. Very apt and not a bad idea at all. ....................... ***** This terrific mystery series simply overflows with the most zany characters that readers cannot help but fall in love with! Yet the mystery plot is extremely serious. As the reader, I certainly learned a bit about civil and criminal law. Funny thing is that the author did it in such a humorous way that I did not even realize that I was absorbing the lessons. Downright outstanding and highly recommended! *****
