When attractive, sexy and tough-minded Cate Fante is appointed federal judge she's thrilled, but at the same time not at all sure she belongs in such distinguished company. At only thirty-six she feels intimidated, and although she looks the part in Chanel and a chignon, she's terrified.
But Cate keeps all her doubts a secret - and mysteriously much, much more.
For Cate leads a dark double life - one that she doesn't even tell her best friend about. It all comes shockingly to light with a murder case which comes before her. Overnight, her secrets are spilled all over the tabloids, her boyfriend dumps her, and her judgeship is in jeopardy. And when a killer comes after her, she runs for her life - embarking on a journey that ends in her own murky past.

Wow! I have to say, this was a pretty darn good read! Although in a lot of ways it was almost a lightweight Patricia Cornwell it really had its own charm, and with it a nice twist. Although I was able to predict that there was something going on I was mildly surprised by the actual result.
It certainly wasn't hugely in-depth as plots go - it wasn't a rich tapestry of lies and deceit and videotape- well maybe the videotape. But, it did have enough in it to keep me curious and reasonably enthralled.
I was very impressed that the author had done her research regarding the legalities. I double checked some of the legal code involved and was pleased to note that the ones used by Scottoline were exactly as they were portrayed in the book rather than fictitious.
The characters were quite well written, particularly some of the 'supporting' cast. And it had a few good one-liners without being a comedy in the making. All in all it rated quite well with me and I had trouble putting it down. I thoroughly recommend it as a 'curl up on a winters day' book. Enjoy!
