Customer Reviews

Witty, clever, fast-paced -- wonderful

I've just (belatedly) discovered Matera, but plan to spread the word --- the three I devoured today were excellent.

Debut novel in the attorney Willa Jannson mystery series.

> 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!<br> > 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.
