Lily (Lee) White is a criminal defense attorney with a con man who has been accused of murder as a client. Starts out interesting but then went downhill with no real surprises.

Slow to start, but then pulls you right along.

This is a difficult book at first to read. Alternating chapters take you back into Lily White's life and then back to the present time. Once you over come this time switching, they story becomes quite gripping. Do not try skipping chapters to read only the past years and then the present years as

eventually the two will merge. I found this to be a very interesting story and was glad I did not give up reading the book in the beginning. Show Less

I loved it! I devoured the book in two days while on vacation, and I'm not the fastest reader.

I am on a string of GREAT stories and this one is better than the best. I was totally sucked into this one. The characters are so real that I almost want to call them up and ask them to lunch!
