"They are Florida's most mismatched legal duo-one a glamorous Miami blue blood, the other a Coconut Grove beach bum. And when they get together, you can throw every law right out the window….

What do you get when you mix beautiful people, family secrets, and a yacht washed up on Sunset Key with a hundred grand in cash and a dying man? If you're Steve Solomon, you see a case that can get Solomon & Lord off the ground. If you're Victoria Lord, you see a golden opportunity to go out on your own. With her uncle a murder suspect and her hunky ex-boyfriend back in the picture, Victoria is pushing to take control as Solomon struggles to keep from losing it.

As an explosive trial looms, they're fighting against time, the law, and each other-to expose a killer who came to paradise…and hasn't left." (From Amazon)

A great sequel! Love Victoria and Steve and their adventures.

Very entertaining but I didn't like the ends-justifies-the-means theme, and the author revealing his political bias, which I cannot elucidate with spoilers. Ignoring that, it funny, moderately suspenseful, and a fast read.

Billed as "John Grisham meets Dave Barry." Solomon and Lord are a Florida courthouse Odd Couple: Solomon the sleazy, sloppy male defense lawyer and Lord the neat, by-the-book female prosecutor. Of course, romantic sparks fly. The mysteries here are excellent—serious plots with appropriate red herrings and surprise reveals. The humor comes from the sharp-witted repartee between (and seeming incompatibility of) the main characters, as well as the entertaining supporting cast. The characters are easy to like, and the books fun to read. I recommend reading them in order. They are all very good.

The Deep Blue Alibi - In book 2 of the series, Solomon and Lord tackle a "closed ship" mystery, where her uncle crashes his boat with no one else but a murdered body aboard. The nudist colony visit was especially funny. Story 5, craft 4, humor 4.
