Exit Strategies

by Catherine Todd

Once upon a time, Becky Weston had an enviable existence -- until the Volvo, the Spanish-Style house overlooking the Pacific, and the money vanished for a much younger trophy wife. And when her ex dies, leaving the purse strings in the greedy hands of Mrs. Number Two, Becky is truly left out in the cold. Having put herself through six years of night law school, the struggling single mother is now the oldest new associate in a small, aspiring law firm -- and expected to devote her life to nothing but work. Stranded in an office of sharp-elbowed young turks, Becky finds herself scrambling to cling to the fast track, and a personal life seems out of the question. But the arrival of a new client -- bestselling author, glamorous anti-aging guru, and Becky's college archnemesis Bobbie Crystol -- could be an unanticipated godsend. Doing the designer-clad, jewelry-bedecked charlatan's biddingforces Becky to weigh doing the morally right thing against the firm's bottomline. But it may also help Becky devise a foolproof exit strategy ... with some rather unexpected dividends.

I picked this up from a condo we visited on a trip to Orlando. It was a "take a book / leave a book" kind of thing for those of you afraid that I had resorted to a life of crime. It was a quick, flufy read. It was a little predictable but I have always been a sucker for a happy ending for the characters who do the right thing and follow their hearts.

A fun legal mystery written by an author I first started reading when she was writing (excellent) regencies.

Why you should do the right thing not just because it makes you feel better.
