Lisa Scottoline’s Pigeons Last Stand is ok but nothing like Endeavor!

Like other audiobooks by Scottoline, this story has a woman lawyer defending an older man Tony Pigeon, accused of a crime he didn’t commit. And a handsome man who is trying to date the woman lawyer. He helps her gather information to reveal the real bad people. Thus the woman attorney wins in court. We assume the lawyer and handsome man get married. Tony Pigeon, we assume is greatfull and pays the legal bills to the woman lawyer.

A neighborhood banning together

What would you do if a drug dealer asked your ten year old to run money for him? Well, these old folks got very creative.

Good short story

Tony and his merry band of seniors enjoy spending their days keeping an eye on their neighborhood and they’re not happy with recent developments. A gang is moving into the neighborhood, recruiting youngsters and selling drugs. When an orphaned boy, who they have taken under their wing, is threatened, Tony has had enough. If the police won’t do anything, then Tony and his crew will! Enjoyable story with great ending.

Molto bene

What a great short! Loved all of the Tonys. Being an Italian New Yorker, and having quite a few Tonys in the family, I get it. Great storyline. Will have to check out other Scottoline books.
