Publisher's summary

After a brief vacation, graphic designer Remi Painter starts working for the Hunger House, a homeless shelter in downtown York, Pennsylvania, refining their website under a tight deadline for chump change and feeding the community in his off time. 

But when he finds remnants of human remains in a dumpster behind the nonprofit headquarters after serving, Remi's random observation is called into question. To prove his innocence, Remi begins to snoop around, discovers problems within the Hunger House, and sets into motion a series of seemingly unrelated events in the days that follow.

Can Remi track down the killer and help restore order and justice or will evil prevail?

I’ve found another author to follow

I just finished Design for Justice. I will definitely start following this author. I listened to the audio version. I really enjoyed the narration. Mr. Berry did a good job of keeping the characters separate through his voice. I especially am looking forward to getting to
Know the lead character in future novels.

Design for Justice

Stereotypical police story.I was amazed at how juvenile the premise was.Narration was good.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Needs an Editor

I received this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review. So hear goes:

This is a first person narrative of a suspenseful mystery. First person is DIFFICULT to write because commentary often makes the story boring. I like this character, I like the plot. However, minutiae creates dead spots that don't move the plot along. Better in the second half, I enjoyed that.

Narrator was average. Did a good job of character separation. Clear speech. You could tell the narrator became more interested in the story about half way through.

Overall, I enjoyed the character enough that I will likely get the next book.

Hummm

Design for Justice
: Joshua Holmes

A homeless shelter, several mysterious envelopes, a dead body in a dumpster all provide clues for the web page designer that's accused of murder. This is a short quick listen. I listened to it twice to try and catch hints. It's not the usual cozy, but not bad.



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Michael Berry.

The rest was history.

Reni Painter, graphic website designer, is also epileptic and has taken what was hoped to be a low stress job at the Hungry House, a charity business designed to help the homeless. When a youth, urged on by his mother, keeps coming back to steal bottles of water, Reni chases him down a dark alley to a dumpster where both be and the mother are hiding. Unfortunately, it is also the resting place of a corpse and Reni is arrested for murder. With the police refusing to listen to him, he turns to his friends for help to prove his innocence.

This very short novella is told in the first person from the perspective of Reni, himself, and Michael Berry admirably performs as the story's narrator, reading the text with feeling and separately voicing the other protagonists. Just an occasional editing repeat glitch noticed. The story itself is slightly unbelievable but there are aspects, like the feelings at the onset of an epileptic fit, and suspicions that some people automatically hold against such illnesses, which are interesting additions. It is a quick, easy listen.

My thanks to the rights holder of Design for Justice, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy..

I enjoying listening to this book although elementary in some ways. The plot was sufficiently intriguing but not highly imaginative. Character development was done well and at a good pace.

Great Plot and Characters

This is not an ordinary suspense story but it is more then that. It has the drama, action, mystery and suspense as well. it is a complete entertainer,

The characters all have flaws which lead the listener in many interesting directions. A masterful buildup of plot and suspense. Really worth an audiobook!
