New York Times bestselling author Perri O'Shaughnessy takes the courtroom thriller to breathtaking new heights in Move to Strike , a page-turning masterpiece of suspense that brings back attorney Nina Reilly, hailed by critics as "one of the most interesting heroines in legal thrillers today" ( San Jose Mercury News ).

Nina Reilly thought she'd seen it all. An attorney and single mother, Nina isn't afraid to tackle the toughest cases and trickiest defenses. But she is wholly unprepared for her latest client—sixteen-year-old Nicole Zack, rebel, thief, and best friend of Nina's teenage son, Bob.

Did Nikki steal something from her uncle, a prominent plastic surgeon, then kill him in cold blood? To find out, Nina calls in Paul van Wagoner, a P.I. and ex-lover whose bravado conceals a troubling personal secret.

As Paul investigates the eerily coincidental death of the surgeon's son— killed in a plane crash the same night his father was murdered—Nina sorts through the twisting lies surrounding Nikki, uncovering a seething mystery, some enraged former patients, and two very old crimes.

Finally, Nina must confront the central question she must answer in order to save her What did Nikki really see the night of her uncle's murder?

    Starting Words: MOIST NIGHT WIND swept the skin on her arms and flicked sharp points of hair into her eyes.

    Ending Words: as mysterious and radiant as opals.

    MOVE TO STRIKE is a wonderful story told by a wonderful storyteller with a lot of marvelous plot and more than enough suspense and likeable characters that will keep the reader guessing till the End.A legal thriller that is unputdownable...Perri O'Shaughnessy is yet to disappoint me....straight 4stars for this.

  • Msjodi777

    Another excellent book by Perri O'Shaughnessy. While I do not always like courtroom books, the Nina Reilly books are an exception. There is enough outside the courtroom stuff to keep things interesting, and the courtroom antics are written so that anyone can understand them. All in all, an excellent tale. <><

  • Jan Norton

    The book with average I did not find it compelling. Some of the twists just didn’t make sense. The ending was weird I can’t say much without giving it away. It did not make sense to me. But also dinner scene to be very broken up over the death of her son. Even the sequence of events with Nikki at her uncles house. She should have seen who murdered her uncle if she saw her mother after his death.

  • Patricia

    This is my 6th book by these 2 Sisters (Authors) which the previously I gave 5 Stars. This Story was just OK, to almost of ditching it altogether. The Storyline I wasn't a fan of...

  • Kathy

    Since I often miss some details of a story in audio form, it's really not a good idea for me to listen to an abridged version, but the price was right. I would be willing to try another story about Attorney Nina Reilly by Perri O'Shaughynessy.

  • Steve

    Move to Strike was a great read. Lots of characters, good scene descriptions and compelling story line that kept me engaged. The O'Shaughnessy sisters employ an excellent vocabulary, too. This is an action-packed read and the authors don't telegraph the ending/resolution. I really enjoyed this one.

  • Sandi

    Enjoyed reading this book. This was my first experience reading a Perri O'Shaughnessy novel. I'll probably look for others in this series.

    Loved this book and Love Paul Van Wagoner's character in Nina's life.

  • Lois Bouchard

    I liked this book very much, but I really felt it was detrimental not to have read the first 5 books in the series. I didn't have Nina's back story so I was sometimes confused by references to past husbands and boyfriends.

    The story was engaging but pretty complicated. The wrap-up in the end was amazing. I think I should read the series starting from the first book.

  • booksalltheway

    It was a great book; the suspense surrounding Nina Riley kept me intrigued. I liked how she came up with so many conclusion regarding the murder. The only thing that upset me was the on and off romance between Nina and Paul (especially after her husband's recent death) with how the story line was progressing I thought we readers will get a break from this romance but...

  • Tina

    Yet another amazing story. I loved it and couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the rest of the series! Halfway through the book, I figured out a few things and it turned out I was right (no I won't spoil it for anyone). What a thrilling read!

  • Julie

    Good read, but some parts seemed to carry on too long.

  • Jean

    Probably would have been better with the full version as opposed to abridged. It won't stop me from reading other O'Shaughnessy. I did like the characters.

  • Michaele Claves

    An interesting book but very convoluted.

  • Sue Smith

    Enjoyable reading. Good plot.

  • Sheila Fillmore

    Quick read. Not great lit, but it kept me interested.
