Review: This book may have taken a couple of chapters to truly snag my interest.... but once it got rolling I couldn't put it down. The 'red herrings' in this "who-done-it" legal thriller are everywhere. This novel kept me guessing until nearly the last page, and I'll admit I was surprised by who the master mind turned out to be...as I'm sure you will be! If you enjoy mysteries/legal thrillers definitely add this book to your buy list.
As stated before, my favourite aspect of this book was the plot. It was cleverly executed and the 'cut and dry' murder case turned out to be anything but that.... While I'm not a huge fan of legal thrillers, I did enjoy this book. There is just enough legal drama and content to make it feel legit, but not enough that I was lost in the jargon. The author doesn't assume the reader has knowledge of legal proceedings and therefore I didn't feel like it was being written over my head.
I also really enjoyed the drama between Noah and Mia. Mia is such a go-getter and her single-minded focus is admirable. Noah, on the other hand, is passionate. Even when all the odds are stacked against him, he still drives forward because he follows his heart. The combination of these two is exciting and certainly adds to the read.
Thank-you to Graf Martin Communications and to Baker Publishing House for a complimentary copy of this book. I really enjoyed it!
Back Cover:
When an Open-and-Shut Murder Case Gets Complicated,
Can She Overcome Her Need for Justice?
Corporate litigator Mia Shaw suffers the shock of her life when she finds her colleague and friend brutally murdered. Grief-stricken and furious, Mia vows that she will do anything to make the killer pay.
The man accused of the murder is a friend of security tech guru Noah Ramirez, but the evidence just doesn't add up. To save his former ATF partner, Noah needs to convince Mia that the real killer is still on the loose.
Mia soon has more to worry about than the criminal prosecution. She is tasked with taking over her friend's last case and learns he was hiding dark secrets about his client. She thinks she may have stumbled upon corporate espionage that has turned deadly, but she has no idea of the danger involved. Her only ally is Noah, despite their difference of opinion about the killer's identity. Can Noah win Mia over to his side and protect her from ever-growing threats?
