#17 Dead Ringer

by Lisa Scottoline

This book review was also written months after listening to the book on a long road trip (same as #16).

The book is based around an all female law firm. It is not the first in the series, but it is the first I have read. While I'm sure there are things that carry on from one book to the next, it's not enough to cause a problem in reading them out of order. Bennie Rosato is the main character and owns the law firm; which is currently having major financial problems. Bennie lands a big-bucks class action case that may save her firm. Just when things are looking up, she has her wallet stolen and is arrested for a burglary she didn't commit. She soon figures out that her identical twin (separated at birth) is back in town and out for revenge. Her twin, Alice, despises Bennie for having a better life with Bennie's adopted parents, while Alice had a horrible childhood with their birth mother. It's pretty much non-stop action for Bennie between her huge case, her crazy sister, her client's murder, and a new love interest.

Another fun book by Scottoline. I will definitely read more by her in the future.
