Accused

by Lisa Scottoline Narrated by January LaVoy

Overview

New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Lisa Scottoline revolutionized crime fiction when she introduced her Philadelphia-based all-female law firm of Rosato & Associates, thrilling listeners with her twisty, fast-paced plots and capturing their hearts with her cast of strong and relatable female characters. Now Bennie Rosato, Mary DiNunzio, Judy Carrier, and Anne Murphy are back with all cylinders firing in Accused.

Mary Dinuzio has just been promoted to partner and is about to take on her most unusual case yet, brought to the firm by a thirteen-year-old genius with a penchant for beekeeping. Allegra Gardner's sister Fiona was murdered six years ago, and it seemed like an open-and-shut case: the accused, Lonnie Stall, was seen fleeing the scene; his blood was on Fiona and her blood was on him; most damningly, Lonnie Stall pleaded guilty.

But Allegra believes Lonnie is innocent and has been wrongly imprisoned. The Gardner family is one of the most powerful in the country and Allegra's parents don't believe in reopening the case, so taking it on is risky. But the Rosato & Associates firm can never resist an underdog. Was justice really served all those years ago? It will take a team of unstoppable female lawyers, plus one thirteen-year-old genius, to find out.

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2013 - AudioFile

January LaVoy’s narration is a fine match for Lisa Scottoline’s prose. A 13-year-old genius named Allegra, her dysfunctional family, a young man who may have been wrongly convicted of killing Allegra’s sister, and attorney Mary DiNunzio are the centerpieces of this book. The combination could make for a real tragedy, but LaVoy’s bright performance of Scottoline’s humorous writing leads listeners to expect that things will turn out well in the end. LaVoy deftly handles the many characters, including three elderly gentlemen with bathroom issues and the female lawyers of Rosato & Associates—although the loud voice she uses for one geriatric gent can be annoying. This book is a fine diversion. G.S.D. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
