GUILT BY ASSOCIATION

Rachel Knight, a smart, sassy, and dedicated L.A. district attorney, investigates the rape of a 15-year-old in a tony suburb. At the same time, she’s rocked by the seedy death of a good friend whose body is found in a compromising but suspicious situation. January LaVoy's firm, fast-paced delivery is the perfect vehicle for this mystery. LaVoy's portrayals of each of the characters, especially the “homies" from the Mexican "hood," are spot-on and add to the twists and snappy one-liners. An enjoyable and entertaining listen.
