With Intent to Kill

If you want a great book, this is the book for you. I couldn't put it down at all. The story was excellent, and could easily have been mistaken for a true story. The characters were well developed, and this would make an great blockbuster film.

Following her divorce, Liz Stanfield decides she needs a change of scenery. She no longer wants to live or work in Milwaukee, even though she is employed as an attorney by the biggest law firm in Wisconsin. Liz moves to the affluent suburb of Oakwood and becomes a Horicon County Assistant District Attorney. At thirty-five, Liz is beginning to relish life once again. However, her idyllic lifestyle is abruptly shattered when the police locate the murdered corpse of four-year old Jeremy Barker. The victim died from continual blows to his head. The shocked townsfolk want fast answers because no one seems able to accept that a monster lives among them. Her boss Harry Washburn assigns Liz the case. She knows that she must quickly uncover the identity of the killer and follow that up with a prosecution that convicts the culprit of first degree murder even if the killer is a member of one of the mostaffluent families in thhe area. WITH INTENT TO KILL is an exciting legal thriller that will bring critical acclaim and fan praise to Nancy Kopp. The invigorating story line provides a well written fictional account of something that could have easily been a true crime, especially the exhilarative trial sequence. The characters are all top rate, but remarkably outstanding is Liz, a fantastic protagonist, who hopefully will make future appearances. Sub-genre fans should try this novel and Ms. Kopp's previous story, ACTS & OMISSION because both are quite entertaining.Harriet Klausner
