It's Elvis Week in Memphis, and homesick detective Rachel Sloan isn't sure her day could get any stranger when aging Elvis impersonator Vic Vegas asks to see her. But when he produces a photo of her murdered soon after the photo was taken--she's forced to reevaluate. Is there some connection between the two unsolved cases? And could the recent break-in at Vic's home be tied to his obsession with finding his friend's killer?
When yet another person in the photo is murdered, Rachel suddenly has her hands full investigating three cases. Lieutenant Boone Callahan offers his help, but their checkered romantic past threatens to get in the way. Can they solve the cases before the murderer makes Rachel victim number four?
My Thoughts:
First I want to say I am a big fan of Patricia Bradley. From the moment I read her debut novel, I was hooked. I could hardly wait for her newest release, Justice Betrayed, the third book in her "Memphis Cold Case" series. The first two books in the series, Justice Delayed and Justice Buried are definitely worth the read but you do not need to read them in sequence as they read just fine as stand-alone stories.
Ms. Bradley has a talent for creating strong believable characters that snap to life right on the written page. Rachel Sloane, her heroine of this story, is a homicide detective in Memphis that came to life and held my attention throughout the book. The male lead, Lieutenant Broone Callahan, who has a romantic past with Rachel, proved to be a great compliment to Rachel's character. Sparks flew every time they shared the page with each other.
If I were to have anything negative to say about this book I would probably have to read it numerous more times to find something as I loved this book just as it is and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading a suspenseful clean mystery.
On a 5-Star scale = 5 HUGE Stars!!!!!
I received a complimentary copy of Justice Betrayed from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing and was under no obligation to leave a positive review.
Smiles & Blessings,
