Always fun to read a book by Lisa Scottoline. Interesting plot and characters. Couldn't put this one down. Highly recommend.

Feared is the 6th book to a series but this is the first one I have read. I am familiar with Lisa Scottoline from her first novel Look Again and I really enjoy her writing style. The story grabs you starting off with the legal team each getting served for reverse discrimination. The fact that the three partners have failed to hire these men who have applied and they do have a male working for the law office, they believe that they have been set up. I anticipated a more thriller style theme but the characters do not remind me as attorneys but rather smart and down to earth women who work on proving themselves to the world. The story gets complicated but the battle in the courtroom scenes are where the action is. This was an enjoyable read as it was not too scary and kept you awake at night.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book. I am late to reading it and it was/is my loss.
This book is one of the Rosato & DiNunzio books-a series of which this is the sixth. So I am acquainted with the characters. Ms. Scottoline writes with real grit so when this book opened with a "fun" chapter of people cheering each other on, I didn't get my hopes up for a great read. I was completely wrong. From a wrongful discrimination suit brought against the firm of Rosato & DiNunzio to all the twists and turns that are Ms. Scottoline's trademark, this read jumped right in and was hard to put down.
The dark reveals of ambitious people are balanced by the love of the colleagues and especially DiNunzio's Italian family who always play a part in this series.
If you want a fun and wild rollercoaster ride through interesting and current themes that always circle a murder, you will love this book. You don't need to have read the first five in the series but I bet you will go back and catch yourself up.

Wow I was not expecting that outcome. This book is a legal thriller with loss, humor and extended families. This is book 6 but the first I have read from this series. Not knowing what came before, I did not feel lost with the characters. The author does a good job of giving enough background to let me follow the storyline. Mary and her Italian family and the Tonys are a riot. The Rosary Society was hilarious in their brief appearance. I felt sad at the loss of John but know it was important to the story. Bennie, Judy, Lou and Anne are also very interesting and would love to read more about the. Mary and her pregnancy was a very fun secondary story. The pacing was excellent and the outcome wad totally unexpected until it was revealed. Did not even see that coming. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review. Highly recommend.

Lisa Scottoline is a master of suspense and Feared is no exception. Great read. Highly recommend. Can't wait for more.

This is the sixth book in the Rosato & DiNunzio series. I very highly recommend reading them in order.

Three men announce that they are suing the Rosato & DiNunzio law firm for reverse sex discrimination, claiming that they were not hired because they were men. Mary DiNunzio and Bennie Rosato are outraged. To make matters worse, their one male employee, John Foxman, intends to resign, claiming that there is some truth to this case. The plaintiffs’ lawyer is Nick Machiavelli, who has already lost to Mary once and is now back with a vengeance determined not to not only win, but destroy the firm.

Lisa Scottoline is an excellent author in my opinion. This book had suspense, a great legal storyline and amazing characters. This is another Scottoline winner in my book!

I'm so late with this feedback, but better late than never? In Feared, Lisa Scottoline brings back Rosato & DiNunzio, but with a twist: this time they are the ones who need defending. A lawsuit has been brought against the firm, for reverse sex discrimination, with some men claiming they weren't hired simply because they ARE men. And with an old nemesis as the Plantiffs' attorney, the stakes are higher than ever. As always, Lisa Scottoline has filled this book with diabolical twists and eye-popping reveals. It was a tad slow to begin, and I had a hard time getting invested in the story, initially. I don't think this is the best book in the series, but it certainly wasn't a bad book. Nobody does a courtroom thriller like the queen.

I thought this one was just okay. I like a mystery I can't quite figure out, and that wasn't the case with this one. The twists were pretty predictable. It was a fun, quick read though, and despite being part of a series, you can jump right in without reading the other books first!

Is it better for someone to love you? Or fear you? Once again, Scotiline fills her books with tons of twists and turns and she works to solve a mystery and so much more.
This particular book revolves around reverse sexual discrimination.
This is the skate book in this series.

This book was a little bit different than the usual Law Firm books, because they were having a lawsuit against them, but it was not any less interesting or engaging! I found myself wanting to yell and slap some of the bad guys, including John, more than once!!

Wow! I did NOT see that coming! This isn't my first Lisa Scottoline book, but my first in the Rosato & DiNunzio series. I can say this won't be my last. I did feel that it was a bit slow in starting, but quite the page turner.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

Definitely not one of the strongest in the series, but still a very enjoyable read. Far fewer page-turner moments and less suspense than I have come to expect from a Scottoline novel. Slow-moving beginning and very little action.

I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I don't have the time to read this book anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

A twisty thriller that keeps you turning the pages to get to the conclusion. A satisfying read that will be enjoyed by anyone that loves a good mystery and thriller that will keep you guessing.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martins Press for this review copy!

After reading a few of Lisa Scottoline's thrillers and invariably enjoying them, I decided to pick this book form one of her series, which I was not familiar with. Honestly, I've decided you can't go wrong with this author, her plots are tight and fast paced. Thumbs up!

I don’t know why it took me so long to read this book but I’m so glad I finally did! I love Lisa Scottoline and this did not disappoint!
This is a legal thriller about 2 men who claim they were not hired because they were men. With twists and turns along the way that you will never see coming, you should definitely read this book!
Thank you #netgalley for an advanced copy of this book.

I really enjoy the Rosato and Dinunzio series. The author provides a story with intensity, murder mystery, coworker and family relationship dynamics, and strong female characters And then you factor in Mary's American-Italian family and neighborhood. You will chuckle at their antics. This book had me turning the pages as fast as possible to see what would happen next! It was a wonderful addition to this series.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
