About book Writ Of Execution (2002)

One of the strangest ones I've read yet. Nina this time meets a girl, name unknown (for now) who wins seven million on the slots. But the problem is, that she can't claim the money because she won't give out her name. So who does she go with? A guy right beside her as her husband. The girl says she must say hidden in order to protect herself. Nina agrees to take on the case, but things start to go out of hand when the people the girl sat beside on that night begin to die. The guy she is "suppose" to be married to (name is Kenny) is who the guns it might belongs too. Surprising twists unravel which then Nina is desperate to keep the girl alive. A compelling thriller, will grab you at the first page. A very good mystery.

Quick easy read, but not one of my favorites of the series. The plot revolves around a woman who wins the jackpot at a slot machine in Reno. Her winnings are nothing but a problem and she hires Nina the lawyer to help solve them. The issue with this courtroom thriller is that there were too many coincidences, the characters just weren't developed enough, and some were overdeveloped. I very much enjoyed the background information about the gaming industry and don't think I'll ever waste a quarter on a slot machine again -- but the plot of the book was just OK. Not bad, a nice little escape, but not nearly as good as some of their other work.

Do You like book Writ Of Execution (2002)?

This is a great book, lots of suspense. It kept me up on some nights, cos it was so exciting.However, the main character Nina is kinda annoying sometimes. I have no idea why her bf sticks around, she sounds like a bit of a pain in the neck.This book shows u a lot about gambling and gambling addiction too. I'm only in my 20s which may explain why i haven't gambled in casinos, but this book really scares me even further from casinos! Don't think I'll ever play slots.Good book, worth a read. It's the 2nd book I've read from these writers, they're awesome.

Always a good brain-cleansing read. I love crime, police procedural, and lawyer procedural when written well and O'Shaughnessy writes them well. One gets a little tired of the on again/off again "romance" of Nina and Paul, but their has to be a backdrop to all the law right? In this one, Nina goes against the Casino industry and her slimeball nemesis lawyer Reisner. Only at one point do I feel manipulated as a reader into hating the slimeball lawyer so that we can feel virtuous later. Other than that, it's a good bedtime companion.
