Not as good as the first two in the series but still entertaining. I felt the ending was a bit contrived.

It's not that I don't sympathize with Josie Bates, but I knew that representing Grace McCreary was a very bad idea. I had an inkling about the kind of relation Grace had with her brother, and that it wasn't healthy. Even Josie quickly regretted taking on a case of another rich, spoiled woman, but as astutely observed by Det. Babcock, Josie has integrity, and once she has committed to represent a client, she sees it through, respecting her client's rights to legal representation, whatever they have done. In this case, Grace is the sister of Matthew McCreary, a man Josie once considered her friend and lover, when she was younger, and more ambitious. But the life of the rich and entitled is full of secrets and lies, and ugly secrets for that matter. That's why Josie left L.A. to concentrate on a more deserving clientele and quieter life.
What I like best about the Josie Bates books, is the family she created for herself on Hermosa Beach, where she practices law for the more regular people, together with the elderly Faith. I like how Archer is a constant and steady companion, and Hannah, the sixteen year old girl, becoming the daughter she never had. Those people are more captivating than any high-flyers in L.A.
For sure, Josie is magnificent in the courtroom, but I do hope she chooses more carefully before taking on another client in the next book.

Another fine story by Rebecca Forster. There are a number of twists in this tale. The protagonist, Josie Bates, makes a few mistakes in this one. Guess that makes her human. Wonderful writing, which draws the reader in, almost smelling and seeing the story evolve. I’m really enjoying this series. I have no problem recommending this book.
