Betrayed

Betrayed

Adult fiction
"...She knew-but-didn't-know so many things in her life. She
knew-but-didn't-know that she wouldn't marry Frank. She knew-but-
didn't-know that she wanted to be a partner. She knew-but-didn't know
that she wanted to be closer to her mother. She knew-but-didn't-know
that Aunt Barb could die..."
Judy, protagonist of Betrayed, has a lot going on in her life.
She's a lawyer, working toward making partner in her firm. Her boss
is giving her a cluster of cases that go against her ethics and
beliefs, cases that could go on for years. Her boyfriend's immaturity
and unreliability are getting on her nerves just as her best friend is
about to get married. Her beloved Aunt Barb has cancer. Her mother
is being antagonistic.
So the last thing Judy needs is a murder mystery to complicate
her life. Only with Lisa Scottoline as the author it's inevitable.
Barb has become close friends with Iris, an undocumented immigrant, a
pillar of her church and community. When Iris suddenly dies the
coroner ascribes her death to natural causes: a heart attack. But
there's a lot of evidence indicating something far more sinister.
Before you know it Judy is in pursuit of some very ruthless
people who will do whatever it takes to keep her from learning what
they're up to. You're on a suspense roller coaster.
If spine chilling mystery is your cup of tea you're going to
love Betrayed.
On a purrrsonal note, today Eugene and I went for a drive. We checked
out several flea markets. We got lunch at Micky D's. And we went to
the Belfast Goodwill. It was the first time I'd gone to a Goodwill in
ages. I was really happy, especially when I found two awesome cat
shirts.
I told the cashier that Eugene is an awesome father to our kids and
cat so she could wish him a Happy Fathers' Day which she did. On
Mothers' Day people wish you a Happy day if you look like you could
give a mom. Some restaurants give carnations and some stores small
gifts. But you'd think Fathers' Day was a state secret. It's like
being a parent is central to moms and trifling for dads. Some fathers
like Eugene are dedicated and awesome dads. Maybe celebrating their
parenthood could legitimize their centering it more. It's the flip
side of centering men and undervaluing women in the world of work.

A great big shout out goes out to Eugene.
