I've read this, along with most in the series, and found them quite enjoyable.

This is from Scottoline’s ‘Rosato & Associates’ series, featuring a law firm of all women. Each novel features a different woman in the legal office, with the others as support characters. (Kind of the same format followed in Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct series.) To a certain extent, these are ‘softer, gentler’ mysteries, although there’s plenty of action: brains, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks play a greater part than muscle and brawn. Scottoline won an Edgar for one of the earlier from this series. No need to read these in order, as each stands well alone.

Anne Murphy is the redheaded rookie at the Philadelphia law firm of Rosato & Associates, and one morning she wakes up to front-page headlines proclaiming lawyer murdered -- above her own picture. If she wants to stay alive, she's got to play dead. She'll have to trust people she barely knows -- colleagues who hate her, homicide cops who want her out of the crime-fighting business, and a new love who inconveniently happens to be opposing counsel. But her knack for courting trouble makes it almost impossible for Anne to play well with others, and an unexpected event places her in lethal jeopardy and leaves her with everything to lose.
