Katherine "Kat" McCall had found her sister, Sara's, bloody,
battered body when she was just 17 years old. Despite having
nearly no evidence pointing to her guilt, the sheriff at the
time had decided she was guilty of killing her own sister.
Yes, they had fought a lot at the end with Kat screaming at
Sara that she hated her and wanted her dead. But she hadn't
really meant it. Kat really just wanted to be free to be
with her older boyfriend so that she could stop sneaking
around to see him.
Even though Kat had been found not guilty of the murder and
had moved across the country, she had continued to receive
anonymous little reminders over the years of her sister's
death and that there still wasn't any real justice for Sara.
Finally, gathering up her courage, she returns to the small
Louisiana town of Liberty to find the killer. With the help
of a new and very handsome sheriff, she might just be able
to get justice for her sister after all.
Erica Spindler has long been one of my favorite authors. As
soon as I see a new book out by her, I race to get my hands
on it. She has a writing style that keeps her readers
riveted from the beginning of the story until the very end.
Many times, I've found myself sad when one of her books come
to an end.
JUSTICE FOR SARA is no different in that it offers plenty of
suspense centered on an unsolved murder. In the cast of
characters, any one of them could have committed the crime,
but I truly had no idea what had happened until the final
pages. I read JUSTICE FOR SARA fairly quickly but I could
have finished it even faster if life hadn't intruded. This
book went everywhere with me. I was hungry to find out more
while being annoyed when I had to stop reading.
There was just the right amount of spookiness as well as
romance without going over the top in either of these areas.
Also, while you may start to figure out part of the mystery,
you'll never see all of it coming at you until it is right
there. That's part of the beauty of Ms. Spindler's books.
She keeps you on edge and doesn't give you a thing until
she's ready.
The characters in JUSTICE FOR SARA are ones you may
recognize if you live in a small southern town. I know I
kept seeing certain real life people in many of them as I
went along. Spindler is excellent at creating characters you
can
almost reach and touch.
Don't miss JUSTICE FOR SARA especially if you're a fan of
Erica
Spindler. In addition, since I can guarantee that you're
going to get lost in JUSTICE FOR SARA, you might want to
save it for a quiet day when you have nothing to interrupt
you.
