Having A Hard Time Putting These Books Down!!

Invasion of Privacy continues with Nina Reilly, the lawyer who we first meet in Motion to Suppress, the first novel by Perri O'Shaughnessy. Nina is defending Terry London, a filmmaker who is being sued over a film she made about a young girl who has been missing for 12 years. Terry is a quite diffucult lady to get along with and Nina decides to persuade her to find another lawyer. Before this change happens, Terry turns up dead, shot to death in her own house. The man seen coming from Terry's house is someone very close to Nina's past, that she has not seen in years. Of course he is being held for the murder, which he says he did not do, and Nina decides to defend him, not really knowing for sure if she can believe him or not. The damaging evidence is a videotape Terry tapes as she is dying. Nina has to work hard to find the evidence to set her client free, which in the process she runs across something that could destroy her family forever. Invasion of Privacy is another hit by Perri O'Shaughnessy, which is a hard to put down page turner that had me up till the wee hours.

Enormously enjoyable

This book is terrific and I am glad there are several more for me to read in this series. The plotting is interesting and compelling all the way through to the end. The characters are well drawn. The good guys are appealling and the bad guys almost frighteningly bad! Excellent throughout - although there are two or three glaring credibility-gaps. But, then, nothing is perfect. Most highly recommended.

One of the O'Shaughnessy sisters' best.

I am ashamed to say that I bought this book 6 months ago, and did not read it until now. I delayed reading because I thought it was not going to be as good as the other books by these sisters. I was completely wrong. The book was completely different than I thought--it was suspenseful with plently of plot twists to keep me reading until I was finished. I read it in 24 hours, with a little bit of caring for my family in between. The book was great in that it lets us in on so much of Nina's family and history. I am glad to know a lot more about Nina. I have read all the other books about Nina Reilly, and this book filled in a lot of gaps about her, and the plot was incredible.

I read this book in one day and all night, really that great

This was the first book by these authors. They left me wondering until the very end who the guilty person was. Also, it is interesting to have a personal touch added regarding the past life of Nina. Adding this to the story gives it a more believable plot. I have ordered and read the following three novels and am soon to order their last one just released. The thread is carried into the novels following this which makes it so much more easy to know about the characters. These authors are great and I hope we see more of Nina Reilly.

Nina Reilly returns!

I like books that continue with the same character, and if you feel the same way, then you should read this book as well as the first one Motion to Suppress. Nina Reilly is a tough cookie and attorney in Lake Tahoe, this author(s) takes you to Tahoe as well as getting you involved with Nina and her friends and family. I highly recommend this and the other Perri Oshaughnessy books
