Cate Fante is a character that has everything going for her. She young, beautiful, and intelligent; she is also one of the youngest women to be appointed to serve as a federal judge. However, because of her prodigious job, she tries to keep her private after hour activities a secret. When a high-profile court case turns into a murder-suicide; Cate's life is scrutinized and thrown out to the masses by the media. There were some problems with the mystery elements in this book. For example there must be some really lazy police work going on if it's "completely obvious" for one cop to determine that someone was murdered while the rest of the force determines it was a suicide and calls it a day. Also, a known offender is sending threats and breaking into a character's house, but the police are "positive" that this person will not attempt to hurt the character, and does not provide any protection. I was also bothered that no clues were left to let the reader know who the killer really was. The villain just reveals themselves which made all the previous (and wrong) detective work the main character went through meaningless.
