Some months have passed since the end of the first book, & although in that book it appeared that Gail Connor was starting her own law firm, that hasn't happened yet. Her relationship with the gorgeous Anthony Quintana is also somewhat more distant than we might have expected.
This book is about Gail defending an old flame who is contesting a Will. Much of the plot is about society links & internal machinations within her law firm. Anthony Quintana features occasionallly as a rather annoying macho "saving the day" kind of guy who tells Gail what to do (she then does the opposite). I found this book a little unsatisfactory as I felt the characters had not reallly moved on from the first book, they'd regressed. If you want to know how NOT to carry on a relationship with a gorgeous rich man & with your daughter, read what Gail does. She also continues to display her rather dense nature (the reader is well aware she's wandering into trouble long before she is) & it sometimes makes you wonder how she got into such a high-powered job.
The plot is OK although a little complicated at times, & the end is perhaps a little weak, but overalll it's a good book. If I had read it first I would have been less inspired to read the others in the series - it's definitely important to start with Suspicion of Innocence.
