Negative Positive
Title: A thriller about heritage, history and family
Review: The girls of Bennie's firm are back, this time with Mary DiNunzio taking the lead. She's devoted to (obsessed by) a pro bono case, getting justice and remuneration for an Italian-American fisherman who died in an internment camp during WWII. The story takes her all over Philly, and even farther away from home than she's ever been before, and there's a lot of intrigue, and quite a few convenient coincidences. (The latter is a Scottoline weakness.) But still, the character development is solid and some passages were genuinely moving. (Especially the one where Mary takes her father's arm.) A few of the plot twists were genuine shockers. And the backstory about people like Bandolini is serious and deserves telling.
Is the review positive or negative?
