Dirty Blonde audiobook

After a Federal Judge finds for a sleezy TV producer, he and his suer, a former DA who wrote an outline and script for what is now a successful series, get into a fight. Later that same evening the producer is murdered and eventually the writer is also found dead and suicide is listed as the cause. The Judge is great in Court, but after Court she is more than a little out of control and goes to shady bars in bad neighborhoods and picks up "inappropriate" men for sexual hi jinks. Everything comes to a header when a Philadelphia Detective who was part of the writer's clique tries to kill her because he thinks she hired out both murders. Convoluted? You bet, but equally interesting and up to Scottoline's usual standards. My only disappointment was that the villain just sort of turned up in the final chapters as such. It could have been done better, or so someone who couldn't write a novel on a dare says!

It's been a long time since I've ripped through a book like that. Several times I had to force myself to put it down at a chapter break because I knew that if I didn't, I'd never look up again and miss my bus stop.Lisa Scottoline kept me on my toes the whole way, and I felt pulled along by Cate's struggle for life, justice, and self-discovery. I will definitely be reading more by Scottoline in the future.

Loved everything about this book. From the writing style, to the surprisingly developed humour of the author and to the evolution of the characters.The ending was also very unexpected, I wouldn't have guessed it in a hundred years. It gives a nice feeling of simmetry to the whole book, though. Definitely will read more of Scottoline.

Another great book by Lisa Scottoline! This book draws you in from the very beginning and keeps you enthralled about two-thirds through and then it slows down a little. But, the ending picks back up and it's not what you expect.Highly recommend!

This is one of Lisa Scottolines best. Riveting from beginning to end.

Wow! I picked up this book from a donation bin. Clearly used and read. I had no expectations since I was not even aware this was a best seller. The story is exciting and entertaining. The main character is a judge torn between law and real justice. Unfortunate turn of events leaves her embarrassed, suspended and running for her life. Cleverly put together fast paced read that leaves you in constant suspense. Unpredictable ending and with a twist sends down a double echo in the last chapter. Towards the end on a side note in the acknowledgements the author speaks about her research on two topics she brings up in her book Autism and Centralia a city that really exists. I was very interested in the authors sense of civil duty in bringing awareness to her readers. Author clearly is a master of the page turner.

Lisa Scottoline is one of my favorite authors and Dirty Blonde is a fantastic read. Of course Irs in Philadelphia because this is where the author lives. She weaves the story with real places and actual scenarios. Cate Fante is appointed a judge in the District Court. Cate has a secret life which gets revealed during a murder /suicide investigation due to a hearing in her court. One of the petioners thinks Cate murdered Mr. Simone and arranged Mr. Marz suicide. Det. Russo stalks Cate. Cate meets Detective Nesbett the lead investigator. Spsrks fly. Russo stole the file from Nesbett and released it to the press. How does Cate face the dirty details. Will Det. Nesbett and Cate ever get together? Who did the murders? Read for the sobering details.

Ok, can I say Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!! I really enjoyed this book, I didn't know what was going to happen next right down to the last chapter. Judge Cate Fante is something else, and I would love to see the Lisa write her in another book. I give this book 5 stars!!!

I love Lisa Scottoline's work and Dirty Blonde did not dissapoint.

I think this is a stand-alone novel by this author. It is about a recently appointed young female Judge in Philadelphia. After a controversial trial, her life is thrown into chaos. Her secrets are exposed, she and those close to her are put in danger, and past family secrets come to light. Kate has to really look at who she is, where she came from, what is motivating her actions, and what she is worth. This is an action-packed thriller w/ lots of great character development for the central characters. It is fast-paced, had a complex plot, and unexpected plot twists. Because this is from Kate's perspective the author is able to spring a few fun surprises on the reader. I enjoyed the novel ----it was a great way to pass the time on a flight.
