About this audiobook

Natalie Greco loves being a law professor, even though she secretly feels like Faculty Comic Relief. She loves her family, too, but as a bookworm, doesn't quite fit into the cult of Greco football, headed by her father, the team captain. The one person whom she feels most connected to is her colleague Angus Holt, a guy with a brilliant mind, gorgeous façade, and a penchant for helping those less fortunate. When he talks Nat into teaching a class at a local prison, her world turns upside down.

A violent prison riot breaks out during the class, and in the chaos, Nat rushes to help a grievously injured guard. Before he dies, he asks her to deliver a cryptic message: "Tell my wife it's under the floor."

Plunged into a nightmare, Nat suddenly finds herself suspected of a brutal murder and encounters threats to her life. Now, not only are the cops after her, but ruthless killers are desperate to keep her from exposing their secret. In the meantime, she gets dangerously close to Angus, shaking her dedication to her safe boyfriend.

With her love life in jeopardy, her career in the balance, and her life on the line, Nat must rely on her resources, her intelligence, and her courage. Forced into hiding to stay alive, she sets out to save herself by deciphering the puzzle behind the dead guard's last words...and learns the secret behind the greatest puzzle of all—herself.

Filled with the ingenious twists, pulse-pounding narrative drive, and dynamic, flesh-and-blood characters, Daddy's Girl is another wild, entertaining ride from the addictively readable Lisa Scottoline.

    Reason for Reading: I've never been partial to legal thrillers, but my sister has a lot of books by the author so I thought I'd try her out.Most of Scottoline's books are part of a series, this however is a standalone. I've been picking my way through this book since Tuesday and just can't get into it. There was a small part where I thought things were finally picking up and I was interested but I soon lost that feeling. As I said I'm not that fond of legal mysteries, this isn't that an exciting of a plot. A prison riot, the lawyers later find themselves in danger and way too much of a will they or won't they romance theme. Just not my cup of tea. Boring compared to what I usually read and I didn't care about either of the main characters. I did bring home one other book by the author that is part of her series, which I will probably give a go but not in the near future.

    For some reason this book took awhile to get involved. Once I got passed the very descriptive detail of characters and what they were wearing, the book exploded. The ending was a shock.

    natalie Greco a law professor ends up being in the wrong place at the worng time. Her entire wold turns upside down at the fault of Angus Holt who she totally falls for. He asks her to with with him to teach at a prison for a class. A riot breaks out while they are there. A worker is killed and he gives her a message to give to his wife. While delivering the message she begins to get warnings to stay away, out of the country, and threats are taken out on her life. She ends up being a suspect/criminal on the run herself. Very good.

    I have to admit to being a tad disappointed in this book. Don't get me wrong it was okay but not more than that for me, hence the three stars. I just felt that I never was fully engaged with the story. It had some great potential but took a while to get going. There was a good twist at the end but not sure I fully bought the twist. I will be persevering in reading more by this author as I enjoyed the previous story I read by this author.

    A mostly fast paced read with sidelight information about the Underground Railroad in Chester County, PA. I didn't expect many of the twists and turns that the plot took.

    Natalie, law professor and loyal daughter, becomes unrealistically embroiled in the murder of a prison guard when she is caught up in the events surrounding a riot while teaching a class at the prison. In the space of less than a week she rebels against her smothering family, breaks up with her longtime boyfriend, falls in love with a colleague, sorts out a convoluted plot at the prison, successfully stays on the lam with both bad guys and good guys chasing her, and discovers a hidden stop on the Underground Railroad. Poorly chosen title!

    This is a first read of Scottoline and I do agree it is a page turner, with a plot that seems to be like a pretzel! Delicious and Twisted!

    Lisa Scottoline never disappoints. I enjoy reading her Bennie Rosato novels, but a stand alone is good for a change of pace. I really enjoy the characters that Lisa creates. Nat Greco comes across as a real person as does her family. Being born and raised in Philadelphia, Nat's family really resonates with me. I can relate to these characters because they're like people I've met. The story has some good twists including the one at the end. A definite must read.Carl Alves - author of Two For Eternity

    Excellent story for Mystery Fans! I have read several of Lisa Scottoline's novels and I have never been disappointed in her works. This book was no exception. I just thought it was wonderful and I enjoyed it so much that I read it over a two day period, which is not like me. I believe I'm right when I say that all the characters are new and Ms. Scottoline base some of the story on her own experiences at Penn State. The story moves along at a quick pace and the author did an excellent job of developing the main character Nat Greco.In summary, there's murder, suspense and a thrilling mystery that should satisfy any mystery fan.

    I've read some of this author's other books -- ones set in a law firm where all the lawyers are female. This is another female lawyer, but one who is a law professor, not part of the firm. Her world branches out a bit when a fellow professor coaxes her out of her comfort zone to help teach a seminar in a prison. Her first session there, a prison riot breaks out. A prison guard dies in her arms, his last words a message for his wife that seems to make no sense, but sets her on a path that has her bumping up against bad guys right and left. This poor girl can't even leave the house without someone trying to snuff her. But she gains a little gumption and fights back. Enough twists to make it interesting up to the end, and to keep the character growing.

    Slow start until the murder when the plot turned into a page turner of what is Nat going to do next. For a smart law professor some of her actions were typical dumb heroine stuff, like talking and trying to convince the police of her innocence when her lawyer is telling to keep quiet. Have to say the ending was a surprise. Plot revolves around prison break and what our heroine sees and knows.

    I am unfamiliar with Scottoline's other work, but I enjoyed this audio abridgment to drive with. Her personal knowledge of Chester County and of legal practice really shine, as do her startlingly fresh descriptions. Although the dialogue has a bit too much of a mundane verisimilitude to it, and the complicated plot twists strain the plausibility of the story, this book passed a pleasant six hours behind the wheel.

    My first Lisa Scottoline book. At first I wasn't impressed, then it got better. By the end of the book, I figured that she purposely put in the descriptions that make you think "ugh', just for comic relief, not because she thought they were good. Good beach book.

    After several duds, Scottoline's back to her old form with this thriller of law professor Natalie Greco who's caught up in a prison riot and detects several discrepancies in the official story. Nat takes a little too long to connect some dots that are immediately apparent to experienced readers, but once she does there's no stopping her. And even I didn't see the last wrinkle coming, although it doesn't pay to think too much about its plausibility.

    I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. Explores the relationship of women with all male siblings, the evirnoment of prisons and schools systems and how a person can be tempted away from their principles.

    Bennie Rosato & Associates are absent from this one but Scottoline creates a likable character in Nat Greco, a law professor who needs a change in her life (no more Daddy's Girl!) but gets more than she bargained for when she visits a prison to help teach inmates.Scottoline once again demonstrates her trademark suspense, fast-moving plot, easy writing style, and well-timed subtle humor. The plot twists were a total surprise but fit perfectly with the themes of the story.

    Awesome, I stayed up late to read it in two nights. Lisa is one of my favorites and she didn't disappoint in her ability to create suspense, drama and a bevy of new interesting characters. Twists and turns at the end, bravo.
