Críticas:

"With this riveting debut legal thriller, Leotta, a federal sex crimes prosecutor in Washington, DC, joins the big leagues with pros like Lisa Scottoline and Linda Fairstein. A vulnerable, tenacious heroine, surprising twists and turns, and equal parts romance and danger are a recipe for success. Readers will feverishly hope for a second book." --"Library Journal" (starred review)

""Law of Attraction" is a beautifully written and suspenseful debut, offering not only an inside look at crime and the courts in DC, but an exploration of the family dynamics that affect so much of who we are and what we do. A fabulous book!" --Barbara Delinsky, author of "Not My Daughter"

"I loved this novel. "Law of Attraction" is realistic, gritty, and filled with twists and turns. Allison Leotta's female lawyer character is compelling and engaging. This is a great read for anyone who loves legal thrillers, cares about domestic violence, or wonders how lawyers can live with themselves." --Alan Dershowitz, author of "The Trials of Zion"

"With her exceptional debut novel, Allison Leotta has written a thrilling and intriguing legal mystery with just the right hint of romance. I stayed up late in to the night to see how it would end. Leotta, who is a federal prosecutor, captures much of the complexity and ambiguity inherent in the legal process while completely engaging the reader." --Maria Munoz, "Fresh Fiction"

"One of the most notable new faces to debut in 2010 is Allison Leotta. By day, she's a federal prosecutor specializing in sex crimes and domestic violence. By night, she turns her experiences into visceral prose. Her debut, "Law of Attraction", is a riveting page turner about an up-and-coming prosecutor who gets entangled in a brutal murder case." --Nevin Martell, "Washington City Paper"

"This is a major debut, and Leotta is a female John Grisham."--The Providence Journal

Reseña del editor:

From former federal sex-crimes prosecutor Allison Leotta comes the first book in the Anna Curtis series—a “riveting debut legal thriller...[with] a vulnerable, tenacious heroine, surprising twists and turns, and equal parts romance and danger” (Library Journal, starred review).

As a newly minted Assistant US Attorney in Washington, DC, Anna Curtis has already developed a thick skin to help her deal with the unsettling brutality she encounters daily in her overflowing stack of domestic violence cases. Yet when Laprea Johnson—battered to death by her boyfriend on the morning after Valentine’s Day—crosses Anna’s desk, there’s something about this particular case that Anna can’t quite shake, something that reminds the prosecutor of her own troubled past.

It’s also the biggest case of Anna’s career—and the most personal. If she wins it, she could lose everything. The victim she tried to protect is dead. Her lover—no, her ex-lover—is defending the accused killer. Caught between seeking justice for Laprea and saving her personal life, Anna makes a series of choices that jeopardize her career, her relationships, and her very life as she uncovers the shocking truth behind the murder.

Weaving expert knowledge with deft storytelling, Law of Attraction provides a fascinating glimpse into the most emotional cases of DC’s criminal justice system.
