Publisher's summary

Hired by a prestigious D.C. law firm after barely surviving witnessing the murder of the First Lady, attorney Jessica Ford is deliberately keeping a low profile as she gets a sensational rape case involving a senator’s son, whom she is defending, is abruptly dismissed because the victim recants on the stand. The problem is, Jess suspects that the victim recanted because she was threatened. Meanwhile, she has an uneasy feeling about the beautiful young associate she replaced: where is Allison Howard? No one has seen her since she left the firm.

Taking over Allison’s position, Jess becomes more and more haunted by her predecessor. Then she discovers that the victim in the rape case has also disappeared. With the help of her former lover, hunky Secret Service Agent Mark Ryan, Jess starts searching for both women. Soon she uncovers the case of a missing teenage girl who knew Allison. Is there a link? When someone tries to kill her, Jess knows she is getting too close to something — but what? She and Mark race to come up with answers before time runs out...

Justice, a thrill ride that doesn't disappoint

I enjoyed the protagonist being an imperfect young woman using her brain. There were plenty of flawed and honest characters and edge of you seat scenes as well as good sexual chemistry.

Very annoying heroine!!

The heroine in this book got on my nerves so much I couldn't even finish it! All of her "I love you/I hate you" banter though out the whole book was irritating to say the least. she was also a little TSTL.. He repeatedly saved her life and tried to protect her but she was just so stubborn it was ridiculous! I really was scratching my head as to why the hero would even want her! I know he kissed another woman and I understand why she was upset in the beginning but COME ON! GET OVER IT or just don't date him!

What didn’t you like about Angela Dawe’s performance?

She sounds like a 3rd grader. She does not read the way a normal perso should read a story. Sh read one word at a time. It makes the story bog down. Lost inteest becauseshe madethe story uneventful.

too bad

What disappointed you about Justice?

lots of loose ends. No intrigue. Instead of a mystery unfolding, the mystery had to be solved though pure description and explanation...amateur plot work.

Don't call it a mystery

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

There is no way the author could have made it a five star. She is a romance writer, not a mystery thriller writer. I hate to be lured into purchasing what I think sounds like a good mystery just to be disappointed when I realize it is a romance. I hate romance stories! Same is true of science fiction and fantasy. Please label them correctly!

What was most disappointing about Karen Robards’s story?

Formula story.

How could the performance have been better?

Reader sounds like she is reading, not giving the words realism.
