A Justified Murder

By: Jude Deveraux

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

New York Times best-selling romance author Jude Deveraux continues her breakout Medlar Mystery series with a twisted tale of guilt and revenge....

The small town of Lachlan, Florida, was rocked last year when two bodies were uncovered in the roots of a fallen tree. Despite their lack of investigative experience, Sara Medlar; her niece, Kate; and Jack Wyatt found themselves at the center of the mystery, working together to reveal the truth behind a decades-old secret in the sleepy town. After a narrow escape, they vowed to never again involve themselves in something so dangerous - until Janet Beeson is murdered.

When Janet’s body is discovered, everyone is shocked by the violence of the attack. The sweet little old woman has been shot, stabbed, and poisoned, but no one can imagine who would want to harm one of the town’s kindest, most helpful residents.

Sara, Kate, and Jack are determined to leave this case to the professionals. But they are soon bombarded by townspeople eager to tell their stories and clear their names with the trio who solved the Morris murders. Even the sheriff is hoping they’ll lend their skills to a crime that seems to have no explanation and no motive. And once the town gets talking, they begin to see that there are more secrets buried in quiet Lachlan than anyone could have imagined....

Love this series

This series is great. I love the 3 main characters. At times I laugh out loud at their actions and the things they say to each other. I have listened to both books and both were great. Looking forward to more adventures with Sarah, Jack, and Kate.

Redemption: Go Ahead and Purchase

I must admit that I found many problems with the first book in this series and my review reflected that. I reluctantly gave this one a chance and I am glad I did. I would have given the performance higher marks because Susan Bennett is very good with these characters, but she continues to mispronounce words and it is a little maddening. As I said in the first review, that should go to the director, but still, it’s sloppy. Worth a read for sure though I do recommend wading through the first book for the character development of the three main characters.

A justified Murder

A quirky novel a great filler of a willing murder. Funny , puzzling format an great people. A must read

More twists in this one

There are many characters to keep track of in this book. It’s a more intricate plot to follow and leaves the door open for the next book in the series’s.
Good book.

Book #2 of this series

Enjoyed this one even more than the first. The main characters were already developed and familiar so the reader didn’t get lost in those complexities. The story itself is complex, well developed with lots of twists and turns.

Superb

you won't be disappointed loved it A+going tho read the next onein the series

I liked the Ending!

This was a very enjoyable story. In many ways it is believable as to how a small community reacts to major crimes and how one family can be involved on so many levels. The resolution to the crime sounds a little crazy, but that is reasonably explained for the most part. The the ending is definitely in line with the title of the book. My one complaint is the over dramatization of the romance between several of the lead characters. That never did seem realistic to me and it was simply too much outside of the main story. Still, I would enjoy reviewing more books by this writer with these characters involved.

A who-done-it mystery

I read the Kindle version along with the audiobook, where Susan Bennett does a wonderful job as narrator on this book. I read/listened through to the end in two sessions, it was that good.

"A Justified Murder" is a who-done-it mystery that keeps you guessing until the end of the book. Sara and her house guests, Kate and Jack, are trying to stay away from a gruesome murder, but get pulled in by all the confessions of the townspeople.

We get to meet more of the residents of Jude's fictitious town Lachlan, Florida.

The story's author, Sara Medlar, has several of Jude's traits, and sounds much like Jude does on her Facebook page. The personal touches Jude added to this book, along with the strong intelligent women (not to mention the tall, dark and handsome men) have enticed me to look away briefly from the Montgomerys and Taggerts long enough to read these murder mysteries.

I love the narrator.

This is such an easy listen and a great way to take a break from hard investigative stories. I love the bond of the characters.

Great twists

Fun to the end. Keeps twisting and making you guess what’s going to happen next to the end.
