Lilly Cleary is an author in Sarasota, Florida. Normally her cases are medical malpractice. She is asked to defend Angus and Miguel in a fruit libeling case. Their claim is that phosphate mining residue was mixed into the soil in an orange grove thus infecting the oranges.

M. David Mooney, Lilly’s ex-boyfriend, is killed in a toxic waste lake. She soon finds he is tied to her current case as well.

When one of her clients is blown up in front of her, she sets out to find the killer. She’s not sure whether she can trust the gorgeous Miguel. Can she unravel this case without putting herself in danger? She enlists the aid of her wild religious brother and her handyman is also quite involved.

This is the first I’ve read in this series. It definitely won’t be the last. I really enjoyed Lilly. The writer has created a wonderful protagonist and the Sarasota location is great too! Lilly is an attorney I’d love to have in my corner. She’s a bit quirky, but she cares a lot and gets to the bottom of things.

I highly recommend this book.
