review 1: An entertaining and quick read, Pirro explores some of the challenges facing new ADA Dani Fox as she tries to break into the at-that-time old boy's network of the Westchester County DA's office. Dani has been tucked away in the appeals division, denied any trial work, during the '70s when a man beating his girlfriend was a crime, but beating his wife was perfectly okay. Based loosely on Pirro's experiences in her early career, this book is a shocking reminder of just how recently it's been that women were routinely treated as second-class citizens and demeaned regularly, both professionally and personally. Pretty similar to Linda Fairstein's Alexandra Cooper series, although not as polished, but Alex is far more established in her position in the first entry of that series... more, while Dani is at the very beginning of her career.
review 2: An absorbing, fast-paced suspense novel that is supported strongly by the author's real life experience as a judge and attorney. An older, seasoned cop teams up with a bright, young and beautiful female assistant district attorney to bring attention to the issue of abuse within families. Internal politics, determination, and a lot of spirit all play a role in seeking attention for this social ill. Brief scenes of graphic violence included. -GD less
