Everywhere That Mary Went

Lisa Scottoline's background in law shines through, but I'm curious whether she planned the legal intricacies from the start or added them as the story evolved.

Her decisions felt so human and complex, which made me wonder if readers see her as a hero or someone flawed yet relatable.

The courtroom dynamics felt so authentic — I wonder if the author drew from real cases or crafted a fictional space to heighten the stakes.
