Save Me by Lisa Scottoline (April 2011 batch) in Reviews of Early Reviewers Books (July 2011)

I loved the first 3/4 of the book. The last 50 pages or so were way too many circumstances quickly piled upon each other making it extremely unbelievable. How the story unfolded though was truly enjoyable.
fiction (humor, suspense) - TJ, a recovering alcoholic, ex-convict, and the black sheep/perennial scapegoat of his wealthy family of lawyers, finds himself in the middle of a potential conspiracy after trying to help his brother out of a potential murder/business deal gone wrong.
another fast-paced and funny book from Scottoline with some complex characters and relationships; I liked how all the pieces of the mystery came together at the end. This will be an easy book to recommend.

It's great revisiting Mary, Judy, Bennie and of course Mary's crazy and well meaning, loving, Italian family and “The Tony's,” her fathers friends. They always crack me up.
This book was a little more complicated than her others in this series to me at least, and I had to re-read some parts to understand the case they were working on. There were two actually – one involving one of their colleagues.
I love happy endings and this was one in both cases – the murderer and her and Anthony's baby born.
It wasn't her best book in this series but I liked it somewhat.… (more)
