BONE VALLEY

Publishers Weekly
"Florida 's phosphate-rich "bone valley" region provides the scary background, while Lilly's fearless exuberance under pressure adds comic relief to an intricate tale that underscores the catastrophic effects abandoned phosphate mines and deadly gyp stacks can have on people and the environment."

Washington Post
"...like Hiassen, [Matturro] keeps you with her all the way, laughing or gulping."

Library Journal
"Matturro has a fresh voice and lively style (think Janet Evanovich meets John Grisham), and as a former appellate attorney and member of the writing faculty at Florida State University College of Law, she's certainly qualified to write about the law."

Romantic Times Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller reviews
"Matturro's offbeat humor and satirical take on the law and human nature make for sharp and comical reading."

 She's back...Lilly Cleary in another outrageous outing.


Eager to bill more hours, ambitious Sarasota lawyer
Lilly Cleary tackles a rather odd case
defending two guys accused of libeling oranges. They
claim pollution turned the fruit toxic--a
definite no-no in the Sunshine State, where folks can’t
be defaming the main money crop. But
Lilly’s case goes from wacky to deadly when someone
blows up one of her clients right in front
of her.

Impatient as ever, Lilly sets out to find the killer. But
stalking the truth’’s hard when everyone is
lying, including the surviving client, a very fortunate
guy who just happens to have a criminal
record for making bombs. Also, he's a very sexy guy
and Lilly is lusting after him--until she thinks she might
be his next target. But would Lilly fall for a killer? that's
just one of a hundred questions she's got to figure out,
and quickly.

Lucky for Lilly, she has a handyman who can sniff out a
great wine--
and an explosive killer.
