Synopsis
from Goodreads: Finally,
life is good for reluctant family law attorney, Jamie Quinn--her
father may get his visa soon, her boyfriend is the bomb, and her law
practice is growing like crazy--but when she agrees to take on a
high-profile divorce case, everything falls apart. What looked like
an opportunity to work with her friend Grace and make some serious
bucks has turned into a deadly game, one that could destroy their
friendship and tear their town apart. Why couldn't Jamie just leave
well enough alone?
Stats
for my copy: Kindle edition, 2015.
How
acquired: Given to me by the author.
First
lines: “What do you mean you're going to Australia for three
months? If this is a joke, Kip, I don't think it's funny.”
My
thoughts: As this fourth book
in the enjoyable Jamie Quinn series opens, Jamie is upset to learn
that her Parks Director boyfriend is going to Australia for three
months to play with wombats. But she shouldn't worry too much – her
life is about to get super busy, with plenty of goings on to keep her
occupied.
Jamie
misses Kip while he's gone, but I'll admit that I did not. With my
favorite PI Marmaduke Broussard around, I'm happy and entertained. Of
course Jamie's life wouldn't be complete without a little danger
thrown in. And there's a lot of plot going on to keep things movin at
a brisk pace - a woman who can't get any other attorney in the state
to represent her in a divorce from her high-powered attorney husband,
an investigation into who owned an airplane that crashed, leaving the
little girl next door an orphan, a partnership and then a falling out
between Jamie and Grace, and an ending that made me tear up. Plus an
unexpected Nick Dimitropoulos moment – he's been one of my favorite
characters since the first book, and I've resigned myself to the fact
that he and Jamie will never be romantically involved, but I like
where I think the author is taking him now!
This
is my favorite entry in the series. The writing is smooth and
flowing, the characters are realistic and a bit quirky, the story
line has some twists and turns, and the dialogue is fun and often
funny. I hope there will be more Jamie Quinn books in the future.
