Publisher's summary

Law professor Natalie Greco has an ordered life. She feels a passion for teaching, especially her arcane History of Justice seminar, even though the course is pathetically undersubscribed in the high-powered law school. She has an attentive boyfriend and a protective family, although her testosterone-fueled big brothers and very successful parents tend to overlook the quiet Nat.

Then, one terrible day, everything changes. Nat accompanies her colleague Angus to a prison in Chester County, where he's a guest lecturer. They are hardly inside before the speaker system announces a "disturbance" and the warden orders a lockdown. They're smack in the middle of a riot. In front of a horrified Nat, a prison guard is fatally injured. Nat rushes to help him, only to hear his last words: "Tell my wife. It's under the floor. The money."

At that moment, reinforcements arrive, the riot is quelled, and Nat and Angus are escorted out of the building by U.S. marshals. Remembering the dying guard's words, Nat feels she must find his widow. But this is no simple quest, and along the way, Nat is framed for murder and the retiring scholar finds herself in a desperate fight to save her own life.

Critic reviews

"This one finds the author in good form, combining suspense- and character-building effectively." (Booklist)

Great Book

I could not stop listening to this book! In fact, I spent extra time on the treadmill wanting to hear another chapter. The plot was excellent and the reader kept your attention. I would like to read more books by this author. Highly recommend this book for anyone who likes mysteries.

Really good!

I love that the history is thrown in. Very interesting, but not the focus of the book.
I really liked the main character and the growth in her that we see. Suspenseful and fun, but also a fairly believable bit of kick-butt.
As always, Scottoline blends in her signature humor, without detracting from the suspense.
Language: a small amount
Sex: too much detail (wish that wasn't there)
Violence: yes, but not fixated on, like some authors do these days!

Beware the awful music at times

Narration was great. At times though, there was awful music interjected. It did nothing to enhance the performance and was in this readers opinion quite disturbing.

Unpredictable page turner

Fun easy fast paced story. Being married to a law professor I could see & predict several turns until the end I did NOT see coming....Great weekend or commuters read-you want to keep coming back to see just HOW it ends!

Really enjoyed!

This is a great book. Kept my interest throughout and the ending blew me away! Highly recommend!

Entertaining

Was looking for books narrated by Barbara Rosenblat... she is always great...and the tale was interesting...good listen... well worth the cost.

Excellent Story

This was an excellent well written and well performed story. My only criticism, and it is a minor one, is that I am not a fan of the music played between some of the chapters. I feel like it detracts from rather than enhances the story

Great book!!

Lots of twists and turns! Lots of unexpected happenings. Great ending! Narrator did a great job too.

Great Book

This was a great book to listen to and the narrator was excellent, I really enjoyed all the twists and turns in the story. This book was put together very well with the exception of why the book was titled "Daddy's Girl", I thought the title should have been something different.
I still give this 5 stars and look forward to listen to more of Lisa's books and hopefully with the same narrator.

Daddy's Girl

Lisa Scottoline has once again written a book that keeps you entertained and guessing. With a very unexpected twist at the end, this book will keep you entertained.
