Book Reviews of Lady Killer

Book Review: There's Something About Mary!
Summary: 4 Stars

Lisa's "hook" (to read her books) is delightful characters in her novels, especially her Mary D. series. I dropped one star cause the ending could have been written better (belief index too low).

People who rated this book low probably have difficulty buying in to the character of Mary, who is a current era Mary Poppins and "Virgin" Mary personality. I have no trouble being sold because I've encountered some women in my personal life of 60 some years who have similar personality traits to Lisa's main character, and her mom/dad.

I was born in Philadelphia, and my dad was Italian; so I can relate to Mary's fictional home life with her parents, especially the kitchen scene's - cooking, eating, arguing, lying, guilt tripping, etc.

Summary of Lady Killer

Mary DiNunzio is a trademark Lisa Scottoline heroine—she's strong, she's smart, and she's got plenty of attitude. In recent years, she's become a big-time business-getter at Rosato & Associates, but the last person she expects to walk into her office one morning—in mile-high stilettos—is super sexy Trish Gambone, her high school rival. Back then, while Mary was becoming the straight-A president of the Latin Club and Most Likely to Achieve Sainthood, Trish was the head Mean Girl, who flunked religion and excelled at smoking in the bathroom.

As it turns out, however, Trish's life has taken a horrifying turn. She's terrified of her live-in boyfriend, who's an abusive, gun-toting drug dealer for the South Philly mob. There's only one problem—Mary remembers the guy from high school too. Unbeknownst to Trish, Mary had a major crush on him.

Then Trish vanishes, a dead body turns up in an alley, and Mary is plunged into a nightmare, one that threatens her job, her family, and even her life. She goes on a one-woman crusade to unmask the killer, and on the way, finds new love in a very unexpected place.

But before the novel's shocking surprise ending, Mary is forced to confront some very uncomfortable truths about her own past, and the profound effects of lifelong love—and hate.
