Title: Aside from the poker pals, a disappointment
Review: I started out liking this book. Rita Morrone, Philadelphia lawyer, is a sassy lady with a penchant for play life like a poker game. Indeed, her best friends are her father's poker cronies and they are probably the most memorable thing about this book.Despite Barbara Rosenblat's splendid narration (as always), this book doesn't click. The pacing is inconsistent, particularly at the end which has about three extra chapters. Rita's legal life and ethics go beyond any reasonable suspension of disbelief. She's a partner at her age??? She has no clue as to legal ethics??? Get real. And it's too bad, because I like the poker buddies and would love to encounter them again.
