Unfit to Practice book. I have really enjoyed this Nina Reilly series. If you like John Grisham, Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series, for example, I really think you'll like this series by Perri O'Shaughnessy. Unfit to Practice was especially good; fast paced and full of suspense. Nina Reilly arrives home late one rainy night and, having lost the key to her Bronco and is using a spare key, she I really enjoy the collaborative writing effort of the O'Shaughnessy sisters (Pam & Mary) as Perri O'Shaughnessy.

Author Perri O'Shaughnessy. Author Perri O'Shaughnessy. Obstruction of Justice. But, when Misty Patterson walks in the door, a blond Barbie doll of a cocktail waitress accused of murder, it triggers a harrowing series of events that will change both women’s lives forever. My Thoughts:In this first book of the Nina Reilly series we are introducted to Nina who is a truly likeable character.

It’s the moment every attorney fears most…one careless moment that threatens careers, reputations, lives. For Nina Reilly, it will change everything—and ignite a case where her own clients are witnesses against her…and where the defendant is Nina herself.

As an attorney championing desperate people, Nina Reilly has skirted the edges of legal ethics in pursuit of a just result, but she has never before broken the rule of absolute protection of her clients’ secrets. One September night in Lake Tahoe when her unlocked truck is stolen, her life changes forever. Gone are her most sensitive case files, complete with the sometimes brutally candid notes she took while interviewing her clients.

It’s every attorney’s nightmare. And now the worst has happened: The secrets are being revealed, one by one, in ways that will cause the greatest harm. Nina’s own clients complain to the State Bar of California, and suddenly Nina is fighting for her license and her livelihood in a legal proceeding that may ultimately lead her to disbarment. In desperation, Nina turns to her ex-husband, celebrated San Francisco lawyer Jack McIntyre, to represent her.

And as personal tensions erupt between McIntyre and Nina’s sometime boyfriend, private investigator Paul van Wagoner…as reputations are ruined and people begin to die…a chilling pattern of rage and revenge comes into focus. Someone is bent on destroying the lives of Nina’s clients and, in the process, Nina Reilly.

  • For the reader who's followed Nina Reilly through her trials (pun intended) and adversities in the previous seven books, this eighth installment is a must read. However, it's a hinge on Nina's character arc, and as such, it's not a book to win her new fans. It's a book to accomplish another end altogether.
    In this story, Nina is enduring the ultimate (for a lawyer) judicial ironical experience: standing trial herself. Of course, our resident Girl Scout committed no felonious act (although she's not so pure as to have avoided FLIRTING with the law a time or two), but in this chronicle, the State of California reviews Nina's right to retain her license in the face of the disappearance of some highly confidential and sensitive client files.
    The disappearance of the files isn't enough for a problem in and of itself, but confidential information suddenly materializes publically in ways that harm her clients' welfare... information that could have come only from those missing files. An insidious, unknown "someone" is out to damage Nina's reputation and ultimately destroy her career.
    For help, Nina turns to private investigator and sometime-lover Paul van Wagoner, and he in turn engages for her defense his former best friend, her own ex-husband Jack (a state bar attorney). For other means of support, Nina relies on the familiar figures of Sandy Whitefeather, her legal assistant; Sandy's son Wish, a private invesigator in training; and her brother and sister-in-law.
    The cases in which the files disappeared, all three provoking and complicated scenarios ranging from a nasty custody battle to immigrant businesses and racism to murder of passion, are compelling and complex, further muddied by the steady hand of this unknown enemy who's not only milking but manipulating information by stacking it against our feckless heroine.
    Who is the enemy? Ay, that's the question. The O'Shaughnessy sisters provide several potential perpetraters, and they make each so distasteful that any one would satisfy, ultimately.
    The ending is smashing (pun intended), and a romantic denouement lets the reader close the book with a wistful sigh. I do wonder if Mary and Pamela O'Shaughnessy plan to "hang up" the Reilly series after this book, which leaves Nina's story with just the right tone, just the right unanswered questions, and just the right allusions to the future for readers to paint their own portrait of what that future will be.

  • I really enjoy Perri O'shaughnesy's Nina Reilly books. I love the setting in Tahoe and the characters they have created. Sometimes Nina gets on my nerves but mostly she is a good read.

  • As usual, the sisters O'Shaugnessy deliver. In this episode, three cases happen concurrently, and explode in Nina's face. The results are the story. Read it yourself!

  • Great read

  • PART OF A SERIES

  • Very enjoyable. I love Nina Reilly books. I am reading the whole series. I have learned a lot about the judicial system

  • I was not told that this can only be played on a stereo cassette player. I have a handheld player that is not stereo and I walk and listen to books. I cannot use this item. Wish I had known before, but it is not worth the shipping to send it back.

  • It was very exciting as all the Nina Riely stories are. The ending gave closing to the crooked lawyer of the stories.
