Will to Murder

Talk about not judging a book by it's cover. Or title. The publishers did not help this author one bit with the black and purple cover showing a gavel and the grim title. But when you begin to read, you discover this is a female sleuth murder mystery in the fine tradition of Grafton and Trocheck and Muller and McCrumb. The publisher does not give you one hint that this is an enjoyable book with a character you really like (even if she is a lawyer - how did the author manage that?) Don't be put off by the cover. Only unanswered question I had: How did Mae-Mae get a name like that?
