I had no idea that Laura Lippmann had written so many books. For an entertaining summer mystery read, this is your book. I have to say that Ms. Lippmann found a new way to write between points of view. One chapter is first person reminiscent of the main character's childhood, which then alternates to third person as she pursues her job as Attorney General. She has a perfect older brother and the plot revolves around her relationship to him and her father, a case her father tried in the 70's or 80's, and a current murder which she has taken on in her new job. Everything wrapped up well at the end with no dangling threads, so that was a plus. I don't think I really liked the main character- but that's just me. All in all, a decent read.
