Synopsis

There’s nothing easier than falling in love with an old girlfriend. That’s what Philly lawyer Victor Carl finds out when he hooks up again with a femme fatale who’s definitely bad for his health.In the middle of the night, a knock on Victor’s door can only mean trouble. Two cops invite themselves in, asking where Victor has been. They also ask him about a doctor named Wren Davis. Victor sends them packing. As soon as they leave, a beautiful woman steps out of Victor’s bedroom, a towel around her naked body. “Who was that?” she asks. “The cops,” says Victor. “What did they want?” she asks. “To tell me that your husband is dead.”Her name is Julia. She’s ridiculously lovely. Women like her date athletes and marry tycoons. They don’t hang out with second-rate lawyers on the edge of insolvency. But back in the day, Julia had agreed to marry Victor Carl. Then she deserted him, running off to marry a doctor. Now she’s back and she’s trouble with a capital T. Her husband has been murdered, Julia’s incriminated, and there are big bucks at stake. Naturally, Victor is on the case.

Goodreads review by Keisha on June 16, 2016

This is my third Victor Carl book and the worst. Carl was a complete idiot the entire novel. Arguably Carl has a least minimum intelligence. He has a law degree after all. However, he allows his "ex" to manipulate him to a degree that is unrealistic for anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same t......more

Goodreads review by Katie Kunsman on November 30, 2008

Lashner has elimiated most of the characters we have come to love except for Victor Carl, who is basically an unlikable character. This is the first time I have been disappointed in a Lashner book. It was a chore even finishing it.......more

I enjoy the irreverent adventures of attorney protagonist Victor Carl. His wisecrack remarks make me laugh out loud sometimes. Always an interesting story as to how Victor gets into and then out of the messes he makes......more
