Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Scottoline's previous thrillers (Dead Ringer; Courting Trouble; etc.) have featured the women of the all-female Philadelphia law firm Rosato and Associates, and have concerned the usual elements of murder, stalking, bribery and corruption. This novel by the former trial lawyer and Edgar Award winner, while embracing the requisite ingredients, is especially engaging because of its personal angle: growing out of Scottoline's discovery of her own grandparents' alien registration cards, the book involves the case of an Italian-American who was interned during WWII. Amadeo Brandolini emigrated from Italy to Philadelphia, where he started a family and worked as a fisherman. When the war broke out, the FBI arrested and imprisoned him (along with 10,000 other Italian-Americans). He lost everything and wound up committing suicide in the camp. Rosato and Associates' young star, Mary DiNunzio, steps up to represent Brandolini's estate as it sues for reparations. Mary "grew up in South Philly, where she'd learned to pop her gum, wear high heels, and work overtime" and silently prays to saints when she can't find things. This case, a pro bono one, means a lot to her; the local small business owners and family friends she grew up with want retribution for Brandolini as much as she does. Mary puts all of her energy into the job, and when clues suggest Brandolini's death may have been a homicide, she becomes even more enthralled. As Mary learns more, the enemy camp (another Italian-American family, the Saracones) turns its murderous eye on her. Scottoline skillfully weaves a complicated, gripping and fast-paced tale, at turns comical, nerve-wracking and enlightening.

From Booklist

In the latest installment of Scottoline's best-selling series starring the all-female Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates, young Mary DiNunzio takes center stage. Mary has taken on a pro bono case representing her "peeps"--an Italian American business group (the circolo) working on behalf of the estate of Amadeo Brandolini, who committed suicide while interned during World War II. The estate seeks reparations, and Mary feels drawn to the case, so much so that others fear she's obsessed with it. Under the guise of taking a vacation, Mary visits the site of the internment camp in Montana where Amadeo killed himself and finds herself with still more unanswered questions. Interesting author's notes at the end of this engaging drama disclose Scottoline's own discovery of her grandparents' internment, lending this unusual story a welcome authenticity. Expect another hit from Scottoline, who has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that legal thrillers are not a male-only subgenre. Mary Frances Wilkens

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!, Jan 9 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Killer Smile (Hardcover)
Lisa Scottlines novel "Killer Smile" was an intense novel. I could hardly put it down. The plot captivated me and I was forced to continue reading until it was finished.

The plot is interesting and twisted.
Mary is able to figure out who the murderer is but she has not proof and there is no motive for the murderer.

Lisa Scottline definetly knows what she is talking about when she writes her novels. Being a lawyer and switching to being an author, she is able to put all over her previous knowledge into her characters. They are very realistic and believable.

This is an amazing book that any mystery lover should read!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Killer Smile, Sep 3 2004
By 
Deb (Ancaster, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killer Smile (Paperback)
Certainly not one of Scottoline's best and not the mystery I was expecting. I've read her previous books and enjoyed them, so I was eagerly anticipating reading her latest.

Managed to get 1/2 way through, when I had to call it a day. Character of Mary was somewhat stupid...especially for a lawyer. Her actions (e.g. breaking into a crime scene and stealing evidence, only to have it stolen from her purse?!!! And, that's just one example...there are too many to list) I was so disgusted with her stupidity that I couldn't force myself to read on any further.

I haven't given up on Scottoline though,I'm hopeful that her next release will be a better read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her Father Would Be Proud...., July 13 2004
By 
K. A. Stevenson "WIAPilot" (Tucson) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Killer Smile (Hardcover)
Lisa Scottoline's "Killer Smile" is more than just a suspenseful and engaging mystery with great characterization and plot. It is historically enlightening as we are reminded of the internment camp relocation of over 10,000 Italian-Americans during the outbreak of World War II. But first and foremost- "Killer Smile" is a fantastic mystery.

Scottoline's story is compelling and sincere. What is even more touching is that Lisa draws from her own paternal grandparent's experiences for this novel. Her father would have been so proud of this book by his daughter.

"Killer Smile" is more than historically engaging, however. It is a mystery that has you turning pages quickly because it is so gripping and suspenseful.

I especially loved the thoughts of Mary throughout the book in regard to her feelings toward her family and friends. Some were particularly hilarious and Scottoline is quickly turning into one of my favorite authors.
