4.0 out of 5 stars
At times repulsive,but..., July 17, 2011
This review is from: Unorthodox Practices (Nina Fischman) (Paperback)
Nina is the amateur detective spoiled brat protagonist. She's a poverty law
lawyer, but she doesn't care about her impoverished clients...her colleague/boyfriend
does give a hang, but at novel's end, when she does finally getting interested in her clients, she blames his sincerity for her previous jadedness...Nina cares about her looks and her I.Q. She's selfish and obnoxious.--Why haven't I said anything about the mystery, you ask? What mystery? There are crimes, and for no particular reason besides mystery novel format's sake, culprits are found. The suspense did not kill me.
To the book's credit, there is snappy writing, and I think the author well portrayed(either gutsily or unintentionally) the worst of herself, as Nina Fischman, and maybe Nina is changing towards the end.
