I quickly read Conflict of Interest by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg for our Crime Club meeting today. DA Joanne Kuhlmann becomes personally involved in a robbery case she is prosecuting when doubts emerge about the mental fitness of one of the defendants. She is also dealing with problems with her children who had been abducted by her husband and she hadn't seen them for 2 years. Now she is trying to rebuild the relationship with them. Meanwhile, the robbers turn on each other and two of them mysteriously disappear - have they been murdered? There are many "different" characters in this book, some of them entirely unconvincing, for example, Kuhlmann's 12 year old son. Most of the ladies at our meeting agreed that the book had the potential for a good story but the poor writing let it down. It certainly promoted some lively discussion.
