Natalie Greco loves being a law professor, even though she secretly feels like Faculty Comic Relief. She loves her family, too, but as a bookworm, doesn't quite fit into the cult of Greco football, headed by her father, the team captain. The one person whom she feels most connected to is her colleague Angus Holt, a guy with a brilliant mind, gorgeous façade, and a penchant for helping those less fortunate. When he talks Nat into teaching a class at a local prison, her world turns upside down.

A violent prison riot breaks out during the class, and in the chaos, Nat rushes to help a grievously injured guard. Before he dies, he asks her to deliver a cryptic message: "Tell my wife it's under the floor."

Plunged into a nightmare, Nat suddenly finds herself suspected of a brutal murder and encounters threats to her life. Now, not only are the cops after her, but ruthless killers are desperate to keep her from exposing their secret. In the meantime, she gets dangerously close to Angus, shaking her dedication to her safe boyfriend.

With her love life in jeopardy, her career in the balance, and her life on the line, Nat must rely on her resources, her intelligence, and her courage. Forced into hiding to stay alive, she sets out to save herself by deciphering the puzzle behind the dead guard's last words...and learns the secret behind the greatest puzzle of allâ??herself.

Filled with the ingenious twists, pulse-pounding narrative drive, and dynamic, flesh-and-blood characters, Daddy's Girl is another wild, entertaining ride from the addictively readable Lisa Scottoline.… (más)

I enjoyed many aspects of Daddy's Girl, not the title so much. Nat is a professor teaching law. When she is invited by another professor to a prison outing to teach a riot breaks out. Nat tries in vain to help a dying guard. The guards' last words send this story into constant action with a few surprises. Scottoline's characters subliminal thoughts always make me chuckle. ( )

A good mystery about a law professor getting caught up in a prison riot and killing when there to teach some prisoners. As she tries to get to the bottom of the guard and prisoner's death, her life gets threatened and she gets set up for the crime so has to go on the 'run', which is a fairly standard plot line. The interactions with over-protective family add an interesting sideline to the story. Good writing and a good twist at the end. ( )

I could have sworn that I had read at least one book by Lisa Scottoline, but apparently not in the life of this blog. Here again is a book that has been sitting in my TBR for longer than I care to remember.

Natalie Greco is a law professor, the daughter of a wealthy building family, used to getting what it wants. She is asked by another professor to take part in an outreach legal studies programme in a nearby prison. While they are there the prison goes into lockdown, a guard and three inmates are killed and Nat ends up holding the guard as he dies. Then it appears that the prison authorities have decided not to reveal what really happened, and their press release does not jell with what Nat remembers.

When she tries to deliver the dying man's message to his wife it become apparent there are those who are determined to scare her off. More deaths occur and Nat goes into hiding.

I found the plot a bit mind-bending, a little incredible, coupled with the fact that Nat herself is an appalling judge of character. She also seems to me to be a little young for the academic position that she holds.

The author says at the end that the scenario is based on her own experiences in teaching the law. ( )

A Rosato & DeNunzio book - not one of her best, but still very good. Man is killed in a prison upset, final words are cryptic message for his wife. Kind of a reach. Still, read in 3 nights. I do love this lady. ( )

For some reason this book took awhile to get involved. Once I got passed the very descriptive detail of characters and what they were wearing, the book exploded. The ending was a shock. ( )
