MAXIMUM SECURITY

Cape Cod attorney Marty Nickerson returns in another legal thriller. This time she finds herself defending the former girlfriend of her "significant other" and legal partner, Harry Madigan. Southern beauty Louisa Rawlins is accused of murdering her wealthy older husband. Marty's instinctive belief in Louisa’s innocence is complicated by growing evidence to the contrary, and by the demands of the deceased's surviving daughter. Reader Bernadette Dunne capably depicts Marty with practical intelligence and a smart sense of humor, while painting the beguiling 40-something Louisa with feminine charm. The masculine voices, especially Marty's college-age son and the curmudgeonly presiding judge, are equally compelling. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 05]
