Resumen del Editor

Cate Fante is strong and smart, but when she gets appointed a federal judge, even she wonders if she can do the job justice. She's in her 30s, and she feels like she's joining the world's most exclusive retirement village. But Cate keeps her doubts a secret. And, as it happens, much else. For she leads a dark, double life that she hides from everyone.

Then a high-profile case in her courtroom explodes into a shocking murder-suicide, and it blasts her cover wide open. Overnight, her new career hangs in tatters. But Cate's troubles are only beginning. An enemy no one anticipated sends her running for her life, embarking on a journey that begins in the mystery of her own childhood. She'll have to fight her way back to the truth, or die trying.

Dirty Blonde is Lisa Scottoline's most suspenseful and gripping thriller to date. Mixing poignancy with her trademark wit and wonderfully compelling characters, it questions whether law and justice are always the same thing.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The fast pace and ever-increasing tension will keep readers turning the pages." (Publishers Weekly)

Meh…

I am a fan of Lisa Scottoline and usually enjoy her books. This one was disappointing. Not her usual edge-of-your-seat story. Totally random ending.

Great story

This is a great story but there were many skips throughout the actual recording. The audio quality is not what I have come to expect. Very entertaining easy enough to deal with audio quality.

Great story. Nice twists!

This is my third book by Lisa Scottiline. Each one stood alone as a great story. This has been my favorite. Great job Lisa. !

A book I can listen to again

Lisa again gives her star character a witty sense of humor, making it a book I can listen to several times.

i don't like the main character

I've tried to read/listen to this several times. finally completed it. i like strong women characters, but not when they are actually weak with lots of angst and problems.

Glad I read it.

Great but I didnt think the reason the bad guy did it was very good.

disappointed

not my favorite
didn't care for the female doing male voices. I felt like I was listening to sleazy mafia men

Totally human

I read some of those other reviews with a smile, they can't seem to get past a character who is actually human with faults. Kate is a totally believable character, and this was an engulfing book that I thoroughly enjoyed. So if you are a high morals bible thumper pass this one by, if you want a fun book about a real woman dive in! Great job Lisa. Not as compelling as some of your others, but totally enjoyable. thank you.

Fast Paced, ending somewhat of a letdown

If you want an audiobook that's just for fun / entertainment this one will definitely keep you entertained. The main character, Kate, is a Federal Judge who is something of a night-owl/loose woman, something that is obviously totally inappropriate for someone of her position. At times you just want to slap her upside the head and say "you have to be smarter than that!". As you listen more you come to realize what a complete psychological mess she is. But this isn't really a psychological thriller and her bad behavior is more of a subplot in a murder mystery which turns out to be completely unrelated to her bad behavior. It's a whodunnit with a rather ho-hum ending but 95% of the book moves along at a really good pace with plenty of wit that will keep you entertained. Overall a pretty good listen.

Very enjoyable!

This has to be one of my favorite Lisa Scottoline books. It's just simply a fun and enjoyable read . You won't be disappointed.
