Review: Deadly Solution by Keenan Powell

Maeve Malloy is a lawyer who has had struggles with drinking, done a stint in rehab and trying to prove herself again as a lawyer.  She is given a case that was from a colleague who has died, defending Ollie Olafson of killing his friend Joe.  Ollie and Joe were both homeless and living in the woods.  Ollie is convinced he never would have killed Joe even though he couldn't remember anything due to blackout. 

As she investigates to prove her client's innocence, she finds bad autopsies, prosecutor misconduct and a possible serial killer.

Nice complex story that really shows what alcoholism can do to people's lives as well.

Sisters in Crime Meeting with Allison Leotta on Prosecuting Federal Sex Crimes

Had a great time.  Allison was interesting and fun and I can see why her books are so popular.

She uses her experience as a prosecutor to make the stories as real and accurate as possible.  And of course, they are set in DC which is an extra for me!

 They are referring to her as the female John Grisham.  Legal thrillers at their best!
