Customer Reviews

Third in the attorney Willa Jannson mystery series.

> Willa takes a job with the San Francisco office of a Wall Street firm? Willa -- a banker's attorney? Willa can hardly believe it herself, and her parents hardily disapprove. But $90,000 a year, up from $25,000 at the radical law firm in _A Radical Dparture_, is no joke. And, besides, Willa is not nearly so sure of her parents' politics these days.<br> > So Willa is not only horrified but disappointed when the office collapses after two of its partners are murdered. And it's hemlock again! Is someone trying to frame Willa? Indeed, even kill her?<br> > I read the first 3 books in this series one after another, and really recommend that if you can manage it. But each story stands alone, too, and Willa is as entertaining and enjoyable a heroine as the many other female "dicks" of today's mystery literature.
