What do You think about First Offense (1995)?
In another classic early legal thriller from Nancy Taylor Rosenberg, First Offense, she told us a gripping tale that would send shivers down our spine. We were introduced to California probation officer, Ann Carlisle, a single mom of a teenage son, when her police officer husband vanished four years ago. She was always sexually awakened by a powerful DA, too. As she left for work one day, a bullet struck her shoulder, when Jimmy Sawyer, a drug dealer saved her life and wondered what he was doing at the scene of the crime. While at the same time, she investigated a man who brutally raped people, when at the same time, the evidence had disappeared from Jimmy's house, too.

Some books never go out of style and for me Rosenberg is one of those Authors. I read one or two of her books a long time back so I decided to start reading them again now. First offense is a great read and if you like True Crime you will enjoy this one.Well written with a good eye to detail you feel like you are in the thick of the story along with the heroine Ann. You can tell the parts where Rosenberg drew on personal experience and even if it wasn't personal you can tell she did a lot of research on the other parts. There were maybe a chapter or two that for me dragged a little bit which is why I give it 4 instead of 5.
