Moment of Truth
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Attorney Jack Newlin comes home one evening to find his wife, Honor, dead on the floor of their elegant dining room.Convinced that he knows who killed her — and determined to hid the truth — Jack decides to make it look as though he did it. Staging the crime scene so that the evidence incriminates him, he then calls the police. And to hammer the final nail in his coffin, he hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find, a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary Di Nunzio, employed at the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato and Associates.
Unfortunately for Jack, hiring Mary may turn out to be his only mistake.
Though inexperienced, Mary doubts Jack's confession and begins to investigate the crime. Her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants only one thing — to convict himself. Or can she? Smarter, gutsier, and more determined than she has any right to be, Mary decides to stock with the case. With help from the most unexpected sources, she sets out to prove what really happened — because as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems.
And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

- content: A dynamite performance of Scottoline's latest novel. Philadelphia attorney Mary Di Nunzio is defending her first murder case: a high-end corporate lawyer, she believes, has framed himself for a murder he didn't commit. The fast pace, smart plot and believable characters all complement Rosenblat's Olympian vocal talents. In her narration, Rosenblat imbues the characters with fully fleshed identities, creating distinctive voices and filling it all with a wry, knowing wink and nod. S.E.S.

Starred review from February 28, 2000
A bullet-proof premise distinguishes this expert crime thriller from Scottoline (Mistaken Identity): handsome, successful estates lawyer Jack Newlin frames himself for the murder of his heiress wife in order to shield the real killer, their 16-year-old daughter, Paige. It doesn't matter to Jack that Philadelphia's hyper D.A., Dwight Davis, wants the death penalty--Jack is determined to protect his girl, a legally emancipated model who dabbles in crystal meth despite her recently discovered pregnancy. But not everyone is buying Jack's eager confession. Something about his story bothers veteran detective Reginald Brinkley, who's convinced that the traces of physical evidence at the murder scene point to Paige, and possibly to her preppy boyfriend, Trevor. And Mary DiNunzio, the young lawyer Jack hires for her presumed inexperience, finds herself Jack's "worst enemy" as she, too, begins focusing on the jittery teenager. Scottoline cuts a few corners: it's implausible that Mary, schooled only in "the law according to Steven Bochco," would be running such a big case unsupervised, or that this lapsed Catholic with hardwired guilt would allow herself to represent Paige while fighting for Jack, on whom she's developed an unprofessional crush. But Mary is a most appealing crusader, with a highly developed working-class wit ("she struck Mary instantly as the kind of girl for whom the delicate cycle was invented"). Sharp, funny characters, crafty plot twists, and a flavorful depiction of high- and lower-middle Philadelphia society will keep readers riveted to this tense, often mischievous page-turner. Agent, Molly Friedrich.

YA-Lawyer Jack Newlin faces his most difficult assignment when he has to convince the police to accept his confession to a crime he didn't commit. Coming home to find his wife stabbed to death, Jack assumes the killer is their 16-year-old daughter, a super model who had recently announced her pregnancy. To insure his conviction, he hires novice lawyer Mary Di Nunzio to defend him. Not only does Mary develop a crush on him but she also is determined to prove him innocent. She makes many wrong assumptions, follows many wrong leads, and is nearly killed herself, but her faith in Jack is not shaken despite the fact that he wants her off the case when he realizes that she may discover the real truth. A book with action, suspense, romance, and humor.-Katherine Fitch, Rachel Carson Middle School, Fairfax, VACopyright 2000 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

- content: This is a well-edited and seamlessly abridged adaptation of a riveting, jet-paced novel. Burton gives a good spin on Scottoline's story and characters. Philadelphia attorney Mary Di Nunzio enters the world of teenage supermodels and billion-dollar law firms when her client frames himself for murder. Burton's voice is smooth and melodious, yet capable of high, angry tension. But she has a difficult time distinguishing male characters and differentiating the many ethnicities that fill Scottoline's book. With that one caveat, MOMENT OF TRUTH is a pleasure. S.E.S.
