Tilly has the day from hell when she's sacked from her barristers' chambers in the morning, then finds her husband in bed with her former best friend in the afternoon. She escapes to her mother, Roxy - a sassy solicitor whose outrageous take on men, work and family life is the despair of her more conventional daughter. Roxy comes up with a radical plan for their future - they'll set up an all-female law firm which will only champion women who have been cheated, put upon, attacked, ripped off or ruined by the men in their lives. In court, Tilly finds herself up against Jack Cassidy, the smooth-talking, politically incorrect, legal love god who broke her heart at law school. Jack is fluent in three languages - English, sarcasm and flirtation ... but if he's so loathsome, then why is she committing Acute Lust in the 3rd Degree?When a case lands on the doorstep that threatens to change all their lives, Tilly finds herself dangerously close to taking the law into her own hands ... Will Jack's cunning ways and expertise in emotional break and enter derail her quest for justice? Or will the women take on the boys ... and win?… (més)

Kathy Lette has an unusual talent in being able to write about serious issues with a tonne of humour and sarcasm thrown in. This style is disagreeable to some readers, especially if they're unfamiliar with her work. Some see it as disrespectful, but under the snark is a deeply important narrative, served in a way that makes it palatable to a different audience than the usual crime fiction fan. The events central to this book are horrific, but the style makes it a page turner when it could otherwise become depressing and overwhelming. Add in some realistically awkward romantic side stories, vibrant characters, and lots of chocolate, and you've got a darned good read if you go with the flow. ( )
