This was free for Kindle.I only rated it two stars because I finished it. It is not a murder mystery as you know who did it almost from the start, so a Private Detective novel with married couple Jake and Annie as the very unlikely detectives.Perhaps a good editor would have made this a Four Star story. There were continuity problems, if you tie someone up with plastic ties, you don't the cut the rope to untie them. The dialogue is stilted and often unrealistic. There are too many tiny, boring, unnecessary details. Every step taken backing out of the drive is not necessary and adds nothing to the story. The access given to Jake and Annie by the police from Detective Hank Corning is just plain unbelievable, actually nothing any of the police did in this story seemed realistic. In this, the first of the series, readers are introduced to Jake and Annie Lincoln who are married private investigators. In their first big case they are asked to search for missing teenager Jenny, who was last seen with Chad. Chad has since been murdered.As Jenny’s mother worries about the fate of her daughter, Jake and Annie work alongside the police to try and figure out where Jenny is, if anything has happened to her, and why seemingly unrelated murder cases begin building up.I enjoyed this book. I liked the buildup of the investigation and how the Lincolns worked with the police rather than being pushed aside by them. The characters seemed realistic and the dialogue between them natural.I especially liked knowing who ‘did it’ before the investigators. I could see what the Lincolns were doing and knew if it would lead them in the right direction or not. I also enjoyed seeing inside the antagonist’s thoughts, why they were doing what they were doing and how they thought they could avoid detection and arrest.I enjoyed Blood and Justice so much that when I saw the 4th book in the series (Captive Justice) was available free for a limited time, I downloaded it. I also want to read the rest of the series.
Do You like book Blood And Justice (2013)?
Not bad. A great first novel. Will definitely be reading the rest of the series.
