 Equivocal Death $22.99 Written by a formre newspaper reporter in Tennessee who, after graduating from Harvard Law School, settled in New York City. This is like a female prototype of THE FIRM only instead of enticing a bright law grad to Memphis, she is encompassed in a high-powered Manhattan firm. She feels honored to be chosen as an associate attorney of such a prestigious group. Her first assignment is to a controversial case of sexual harassment(quite over the head for a novice, young lawyer, no matter how bright she is). Her glamorous senior partner receives a mysterious e-mail luring her to an equivocal death. Or is it? Kate has to go on the defense trying to figure out who did the old girl in, as many suspects surface. There may be two or more meanings to 'equivocal death,' homicide, accident, suicide or natural death. It could be any of her colleagues or, could it be the hairdressser? You must read to see how things end in just a few weeks. Kate decides to move on with her life as these seedy cases are not what she was trained for at Harvard to face and to endure such harsh treatment. This is a riveting crime story on a high level. No one is immune from murderous urges and the need for revenge, but most of us are sane enough not to follow through. This is a first novel, which got my attention. Since then, she has written IDENTITY IN DEMOCRACY and THE ANNIVERSARY. |
