I loved it! I look forward to new additions to this long running series each year. I enjoy the high speed legal battles, the tight group of friends and family and visiting parts of Philly. Best of all is how the author sneaks in bits of humor when you least expect it! A truly fantastic book in a really great series.

This was a solid 4.5 stars elevated to a 5. The firm is representing a small security company that is suing two larger companies for unfair business practices. The only male associate there was sitting as second chair on this case and resigned because he thought he had little or no future there. It is also being sued for reverse discrimination by three men who claimed they were not hired by the firm because they were men. Mary is very pregnant and also handling a slightly lighter caseload than usual. Paul, the associate, is found murdered and Judy is a person of interest. The plot is finely developed and the characters colorful and likable. This Is a terrific series and the author has maintained quality throughout. Thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC for an honest review.

Another excellent Rosato and DiNunzio book. Number six in the series. In this fast paced page turner, the firm is sued by their old enemy Nick Machiavelli alleging they discriminate against men. The firm is defending an anti-trust lawsuit. One of their colleagues is murdered and Judy is a person of interest. Mary is seven months pregnant. Lots going on. In typical Scottoline writing, there were parts that had me laughing out loud and others wiping tears from my eyes. Everything works out in the end. There will be a new character in the next book and I can't wait to read it. Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

Bennie, Mary, Judy and the whole gang is back for another exciting whodunnit! Lisa, thanks for bringing everyone together again!

Thank you to Net Galley and St. Martin's Press for granting me an electronic advance of this title in exchange for my honest review. I like Lisa Scottoline, but realized with this title that I haven't read the entire series, but rather bits and pieces of it. What's good is that this doesn't affect the enjoyment of reading the books out of order. They can stand alone with no problem. An old enemy returns, with a vengeance, to take down the law firm. This strikes close to home, and affects the entire firm in different ways. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but you will love this is you're looking for a good legal mystery.

I'm a big fan of this series and this was no exception!

Characters are well fleshed-out over the series (if a little stereotypical but that doesn't concern me in the slightest). I always finish these books really quickly and the twists are always enjoyable.

It was Lisa Scottoline's Rosato and DiNunzio series that brought me to reading her and Mary DiNunzio remains a favorite character. Who can resist a South Philly girl with a close Italian community that includes so many Tonys--Pigeon Tony, Tony 'Two-Feet', Tony-From-Down-the-Block, not to forget Mary's husband Anthony! Just reading about her mother's gravy makes me hungry for pasta.

In Feared, Scottoline once again puts Mary in harm's way. But this time it's not just Mary's life that is on the line, for she is seven months pregnant.

Nick Machiavelli has targeted Bennie Rosato and her partners Mary and Judy in a lawsuit accusing them of sex discrimination in hiring. And their associate John's own words are being used against them. They are being sued as individuals and they could lose everything.

Then John turns up dead and Judy is the last one to have seen him alive.

Mary struggles with the demands of her career and impending motherhood. Judy mourns the loss of her happy ending. The clients are small fry business owners who are about to be swallowed by the big fish in the market. And John's brother with Cerebral Palsy may be force feed for convenience.

With her signature blend of humor, memorable characters, mystery, and thrills, the novel kept me turning pages. Through twists and turns and red herrings, you will be on a wild ride to an unexpected resolution.

I received an ebook from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

I literally did not get past the first page of this because the writing was so unbelievably cliched.

I add my voice to the many fans of Lisa Scottoline, who continues to write heart-pounding twisted plots that keep the reader of the edge of her or his seat until the last page. An arch enemy, a murder, an unfounded accusation against Rosato & DiNunzio and its tough but endearing partners, a pregnancy, a close knit community, and entanglements of a business lawsuit all converge to make this a book a wonderful read. I raced through it on a plane trip, and for the first time in my memory I cursed when the plane landed on time and I had not yet reached the end. Readers who like mysteries, legal thrillers, or good fast paced novels will join devotees of this series in singing its praises.

Another hit out of the ballpark for Lisa Scottoline!!! This is another in the Rosato series and takes Mary through some tough times with the firm when one of the associates is murdered and they are served with a discrimination case against the firm. To boot, Mary is pregnant and facing physical restrictions.

How does Scottoline continue to write these awesome books??? Another winner!

This is another book with the background of the Rosato and DiNunzio. Of all the books that this author writes these are my favorite. The plot is that the law firm gets sued for discrimination by Mary's archenemy Nick Machiavelli which the ladies have to defend. Early in the case a friend is murdered and Judy is a person of interest. The firm is trying to solve the murder and defend their firm that Nick is trying to destroy.

I always wondered where the author comes up with the plots because they are different all the time and she has a great gift of words. This book will keep you guessing till the very end and you will be surprised. I enjoy these books since you get a little bit of everything but the soul of the book is the relationship that Mary has with her family. These book wouldn't be the same if Mary couldn't go home to the neighborhood and be with her family.

A page turning and a guessing book until the very end. I would like to thank Net Galley for the advanced copy for my honest review.

Another heart racing adventure for the law firm of Rosato & DiNunzio. Lisa Scottoline as usual delivers a legal thriller with her signature humor thrown in that is guaranteed to make you keep turning those pages, or tapping that screen! I was gasping for breath by the end. It's a MUST read!
Thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for an advanced copy.

Is it better to be loved or feared? Well, Bennie seems to rather be feared. Mary isn't sure and Judy, would probably be both. These are the women of the Law firm Rosato and DiNunzio. They have just been served with a suit for discrimination against men. John Foxman is one of their lawyers, but he let is slip that he feels uncomfortable working with all women. On top of that people are getting killed. There are secret relationships and betrayal. This another book full of twists, turns, suspense and drama. Great read!

This is the sixth novel in the Rosato & DiNunzio series. At the beginning of this book we find out that the girls have been served with a lawsuit that claims reverse sexual discrimination. As they work through the details, Bennie, Mary, and Judy conclude that they might be the victims of a setup perpetrated by an old nemesis, Nick Machiavelli. It seems that his bruised ego has made Machiavelli turn his sights on Rosato & DiNunzio, and his depravity has no bounds.

As the lines are drawn and the camps are established, a new twist early in the case ratchets up the tension on both sides. Suddenly the lawyers of Rosato and DiNunzio find themselves knee deep in the middle of a murder investigation. Secrets are exposed as the investigation plows forward, and the walls begin closing in around the law firm. Bennie and Mary desperately try to find missing links and alternate suspects. Of course Mary's parents and "The Tonys" are there for moral support and to lend a helping hand when needed.

The girls rally together and hatch a plan to ultimately bring Machiavelli to justice and make him pay for his misdeeds. However, no one could imagine the real killer and their motives for the things they did. The plot twists will leave you guessing until the very end, leading up to a shocking conclusion that will leave you breathless.

I would recommend this book to fans of mysteries and thrillers. I received this as a free ARC from St. Martin's Press on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

great book best in the wonderfull serie will read more by this up and coming author would recommend to friends

Lisa Scottoline brings us another book in her Rosato & Di Nunzio series. Feared does not disappoint. She reintroduces familiar characters and puts them through the paces. The book is fast paced with an unexpected twist at the end.

There is so much to love about this book and about the whole series! This is number 6 in the Rosato and DiNunzio series. I do enjoy the cases the lawyers get involved in but even more, I love all the family stuff that goes on. I love how the family calls Mary, Mare and how Mr D is always talking very loud. I adore Mrs D and the great mother and friend she is. I hope there will be many more in this series!

Feared by Lisa Scottoline. After a bit of slow beginning, the story took off and became a real page turner. Very good addition to the Rosato & DiNunzio Series.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

There is nothing like a riveting story featuring Bennie and Mary and a thicket of plot twists..

Full of good-natured pregnancy humor, Scottoline skillfully brings real-life legal issues to the forefront in a way that only she can.

Highly recommend to all Rosato and DiNunzio fans!!!!

I am a fan of Scottoline's general fiction and the books she writes with her daughter. Her legal thrillers are fairly formulaic and predictable....however, that is often expected of a legal thriller
Scottoline has the added talent of razor-sharp wit and snappy dialogue that makes her thrillers fun to read.
