Synopsis
A California lawyer&’s dream job becomes a nightmare when her boss is murdered in this mystery by the author of Where Lawyers Fear to Tread.Fresh out of law school, Willa Jansson nabs a first-year associate position at a family friend&’s law firm. Famous progressive attorney Julian Warneke has gotten Willa&’s hippie parents out of legal trouble on several occasions, though his reputation for grandstanding landed Willa in jail for two traumatic months after she was arrested during a protest march. Regardless, she&’s happy to be working for such an influential firm, even if it pays less than any other outfit in town and she&’s assigned to all the divorces, landlord-tenant cases, and drunk-driving defenses . . .Willa&’s caseload is the least of her worries when Julian&’s poisoned to death at a fancy work lunch. When the investigation begins, the authorities are drawn to Willa as a suspect in the &“law school murders.&” Then there&’s the matter of her mother being listed to inherit Julian&’s house. As Willa begins working to clear their names, she must dodge a terrible ex-boyfriend and a charming cop—not to mention a killer who&’s drawing ever closer . . .Praise for the Willa Jansson Mysteries &“Matera's wit, grace with language, irreverence toward the legal system, and wry dissection of being a child of the Sixties make this a standout.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Intelligent and entertaining . . . Absorbing . . . With sharp descriptions and crisp dialogue . . . Admirably delivers the complex situations and memorable characters of a &‘real novel&’ while still managing to let the detective story have its day in court.&” —The Wall Street Journal
