Book Description

May 13, 1991
Overworked, overcaffeinated, and as cranky as a sequestered jury, Willa Jansson has a law review to get out. As second in command to the brilliant Susan Green, the ideal law student and perfect editor, Willa's rank jumps up a step when Susan's head is bashed in over a brief at the law review office.

Everyone at Malhousie, the small San Francisco law school, is stunned by the crime -- including professors and the staff at the review. And none of them are above suspicion. Willa, now in charge and none too happy about it, launches a private investigation that succeeds not only in compromising her honor, but getting her arrested, as she chases one blind lead after another and comes face-to-face with the banality of evil....

4.0 out of 5 stars Debut novel in the attorney Willa Jannson mystery series., July 8, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Where Lawyers Fear to Tread (Mass Market Paperback)
> As if finals and preparing for the bar exam aren't enough,
senior law student Willa Jannson finds herself the newly
elected editor-in-chief of the law school review after her
predecessor' s head is cracked open with a blunt instrument.
Can things get any worse for Willa? They can! They do!

> A lively read for a first series novel. The author is
herself a former law review editor, law student, and lawyer,
so she knows whereof she speaks. This book is best read in
one sitting and followed by the next 2 books in the series,
_A Radical Departure_ and _Hidden Agenda_ as they make for
a nice trilogy.

This review is from: Where Lawyers Fear to Tread (Mass Market Paperback)
I've just (belatedly) discovered Matera, but plan to spread the word --- the three I devoured today were excellent.
