Review of MAXIMUM SECURITY by Rose ConnorsA CRIME NOVEL
Scribner, July 2004
When her boyfriend asks her to represent an ex-girlfriend, attorney Marty Nickerson is reluctant. She's even more reluctant when she meets the beautiful woman--who promptly seduces her assistant (The Kydd). But when the new widow is accused of murdering her husband, Marty has to put aside her insecurities and go to bat for the client. Unfortunately, all of the evidence looks bad. Marty might not want the woman to start up again with her boyfriend, but she doesn't want her in jail for life either.
Author Rose Connors writes an engaging, fast-moving story. Marty, with her boyfriend insecurities and problems with an ex-husband, makes a sympathetic character. MAXIMUM SECURITY is an easy book to pick up for a moment and keep reading until it's finished.
From a mystery perspective, I thought there could be a bit more mystery--the solution is obvious as Connors failed to present many alternate possibilities. Although I enjoyed the book, I felt like I was owed a bit more twist.
