Finally, life is good for reluctant family law attorney, Jamie Quinn–her father may get his visa soon, her boyfriend is the bomb, and her law practice is growing like crazy–but when she agrees to take on a high-profile divorce case, everything falls apart. What looked like an opportunity to work with her friend Grace and make some serious bucks has turned into a deadly game, one that could destroy their friendship and tear their town apart. Why couldn’t Jamie just leave well enough alone?
Dollycas’s Thoughts
I reviewed the first 3 books in this series back in July. Engaged in Danger
Nan Glasser wants a divorce and every law office has turned her way stating conflict of interest. Marvin Glasser is a real S.O.B. who has his fingers in way to many pies and that may be deadly. Nan just wants out and begs Jamie to take her case. With Kip in Australia for 3 months, a big case may be just what Jamie needs but she is smart enough to know she can’t do it on her own. After trying to get her friend Grace and her partners to take the case, it is decided that Jamie and Grace with an assist private investigator Duke, with take the case. Then the mayhem begins as truths are revealed, and clues lead somewhere unexpected, and Jamie finds herself in a bit of hot water.
Barbara Venkataraman has given us another smart story with a very tight plot that just flows so effortlessly.
These characters a interesting and fun. Jamie is the underdog and I wanted to see her win. I just hated Marvin Glasser. He is manipulative and petty. He may have met his match in Jamie Quinn. I was also pretty upset with Kip. The relationship with Jamie is new and was crazy that he took off for 3 months with saying good-bye. He made up for it a little but he is not back in my good graces yet. Both Duke and Grace suffered some pitfalls too. The dialogue between them all was fantastic. Even in stressful situations there was room for a little humor.
Each of these stories is better than the last. Venkataraman just keeps topping herself. I hope she is busy working on #5.

Sounds like a great mystery, and easy to catch up with three preceding novellas. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Thank you for the review. I’d not heard of this series before and very probably, despite your praise, give it a pass. If you are discontented with one character, then I will be too.
It’s a really fun series. Great narrative voice. I’d recommend it.
Sounds good! Thanks for the chance to win! Happy holidays!!
