Accused
by Lisa Scottoline is part of the series featuring Rosato and Associates, an
all-women law firm in Philadelphia. Mary DiNunzio has just been promoted to
partner at the firm, cause for celebration in the office conference room. As
the party is winding down, a potential client appears. Thirteen-year-old Allegra
Garder, who is from an extremely prestigious family, wants to hire a law firm
to investigate the real circumstances that surrounded the murder of her
beloved, older sister Fiona. Although the murder happened six years ago, and
appeared to be an open and shut case, Allegra's thirteenth birthday has given
her some control of a trust fund, so she finally has the means to hire Rosato
and Associates, but her parents fear she is obsessed by her sister's death and
do everything they can to hinder the investigation.
On a sidebar, Mary’s hunky boyfriend Anthony has
proposed, and with her promotion, and this crazy case that she can’t seem to
turn down, has her feeling a bit overwhelmed. She’s got 99 problems and her man
is definitely one. Accused is
definitely a standalone novel for you newbies, and those who already love this
series will not be disappointed.
