Hayden McCarthy is on track to become the youngest partner in her prestigious D.C. law firm . . . if the case she’s just been handed doesn’t destroy her first.

Hayden McCarthy knows firsthand the pain when justice is not served. It’s why she became an attorney and why she’s so driven in her career. When she’s assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn’t sure if it’s the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership—or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.

Further complicating matters is Andrew, her roommate’s distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew’s father is a Congressman, and Hayden’s currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?

The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation would indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?

Review of Beyond Justice by Cara C. Putman

I love a good mystery especially when it comes to drama, police, and legal arenas. This one hit the mark many of those topics and I was anxious to dive into it.

This is the first book I read by Cara Putman. One of the things I loved about this book is that there’s not a lot of courtroom drama or legalese going on. It’s more focused on the activity surrounding the case of the murdered minor.

This ties in many different aspects from the legal office to Hayden’s roommates cousin, Andrew. Including a lovely attraction factor and some personal life too. There is a strong Christian message throughout the story that is a pleasant addition to lessen the crime aspect.

The author kept the book interesting and moving quickly with many twists and turns coming in from multiple aspects of the case. You were kept on your toes and the blending in of Andrew’s issues and belief in the goodness of people was a strong portion of this story.

Towards the end I had an inkling of the person who may be responsible in this case. The author added in a lot of factors that kept the interest high and kept the reader captivated throughout. What I thought was going to happen was only a small portion of the ending.

The author takes on a touchy subject with grace and weaves a intriguing story that is captivating. I did not put this one down until I was finished!

With lots of suspense and a great plot, the author delivers a solid and engrossing read that is worthy of your time. This is an author I will look for and read again.
