Judgment at Santa Monica

Hollywood stars, sunshine, stabbings … New Jersey prosecutor turned LA family lawyer Sandy Moss is back with a bang in the second book in this fun, witty and fast-paced cozy legal mystery series.
The last person family lawyer Sandy Moss expects to walk into her courtroom, right in the middle of a trial, is TV star Patrick McNabb: prime suspect in her first (and she hopes, last) murder case.
Sandy knows what Patrick's like. Friendly, overconfident, dazzlingly handsome … and a well-meaning menace. But his request seems harmless enough. His dear friend Cynthia is getting divorced, and he thinks Sandy's perfect for the job. She accepts-because he's Patrick and there is no denying him.
But of course it's not that simple. Soon Sandy's tangled up in yet another murder-and Patrick, who's currently playing a private detective on TV, believes he's essential to solving the whole thing …
"Legal mayhem at its finest."
"Terrific…This breezy book is a pure pleasure to read."
"Sandy is a competent, tenacious, yet vulnerable heroine in a cast of vividly described characters and in a story with multiple plot twists that's enlivened with humor and set against the glittering backdrop of Hollywood."
