Its hard being Lillian Belle Rosemary Cleary. And if I didnt know that already, Bonita, my legal secretary supreme and secondary therapist, reminds me.
Carita, she said,you make this so much more difficult than it needs to be.
So spank me, Im a lawyer and complicating things at a high hourly rate is my specialty.
Sometimes being a lawyer sucks. Thats what Lilly Cleary thinks. Lilly is tough-as-nails attorney who works for a big firm in Sarasota, FLand an obsessive-compulsive health nut who has a bad habit of tripping over dead bodies. Just when shes got her hands full with a psychic client and a Nazi-next-door neighbor, an obnoxious partner in her firm is murdered. Somehow Lilly gets dragged into investigating and encounters a world-class assortment of weirdo suspects, all of whom have good reason to want to knock the bastard off.
"Matturro has an authentic charmer in Lilly." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A circus of neurotic characters and cheating lawyers who meet over a murder. Funny stuff." -- Sacramento Bee
"A smart legal mystery." -- New York Times Book Review
A former appellate attorney and former member of the writing faculty at Florida State University College of Law and the University of Oregon School of Law, Claire Hamner Matturro lives in Georgia.
