Title: Fun legal thriller
Review: Bennie Rosato is a partner in a law firm with her recent ex, Mark. She is still trying to adjust to the fact that he has broken up with her to date their associate, Eve, when she finds out that he also has plans to dissolve the partnership and start his own firm. But any shock that she feels is overwhelmed when his body is found, dead, at his desk and Bennie is the number one suspect. Bennie must try to solve this murder if she is to save her firm, reputation, and most importantly, her life. But the bodies keep piling up and the police aren't looking in any direction but hers. Will she be able to stay out of jail long enough to catch the real killer?Legal Tender is one of the earlier Scottoline novels that features Bennie Rosato. Like the more recent books, it is fun and fast. The story is somewhat contrived and unbelievable, but it is grounded enough in reality to let the fun carry the day. A very quick read, it will leave you reaching for the next in the series.
