Lawyer Celeste Marsella makes good use of her legal background in her engaging debut DEFENSELESS (Dell $6.99) wherein four young women employed in the Rhode Island attorney general’s office witness a murder and try to solve it, all the while hiding their involvement from their boss. The quartet makes for likeable sleuths and Marsella mixes enough humor and romance into the complex plot to keep things entertaining.  –Mary Alice Gorman
