Justice (A Rocky Mountain Thriller) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 1,250 ratings

A HAIL OF BULLETS
Denver cop-turned-investigator Melissa Anderson had been on the job for years, but had never fired her gun... until a drive-by shooting in front of the courthouse sends her and a child witness under her protection on the run to Wyoming... and into the arms of the child's rancher father.

A SEARCH FOR TRUTH
All Nick Raymond wanted was his son… and to be left alone. Instead, he is forced to deal with a bossy blonde who is willing to risk everything, an innocent four-year-old with a target on his back, and death.

Good men don't have choices. They do the right thing... no matter how high the cost.

    Justice is the third book in A Rocky Mountain Thriller by Ann Voss Peterson. In this book, readers meet two dynamic lead characters in Melissa Anderson and Nick Raymond. Melissa is a former Denver Police office with ten years of service. Now, she is an investigator for Denver’s District Attorney. Nick owns a ranch, Circle J, in Wyoming. He is in Denver to retrieve his young son, Jason, who was stolen from him by his ex-wife, Gayle Rogers, who was bludgeoned to death in an alleged robbery. What seems like a simple task—retrieving his son from the Denver authorities—catapults Nick and Melissa into tumultuous path as they try to solve the puzzle of Gayle’s murder. Nick and Melissa are attracted to each other; however, they are reluctant to act on these feelings. Who murdered Gayle? Will there be other casualties? How will Jason transition to living with his father? Will Melissa, Jason, and Nick be safe? Will Melissa and Nick find happiness? You must read this book to find out what happens.

    Yet again, I enjoyed another character-driven plot with a theme of betrayal versus trust. I liked how Ms. Patterson weaves together motivating forces of greed, corruption, and abuse of power in this romantic suspense. I enjoyed Melissa and Nick’s quest to find the truth behind a series of murders. Ms. Patterson’s characters, both primary and secondary were well-designed and multi-layered. I appreciated Ms. Patterson’s use of descriptive language. Her picturesque familial scenes were realistic while her action scenes were captivating. Way to go, Ms. Patterson.

    I didn't really get an understanding of the characters in this story. I got a lot of surface stuff, but nothing meaningful, and that disappoints me. The previous stories had more background on the characters, so that, as a reader, I felt a small connection. Not so much with this story.

    Nick had no idea what he was getting himself into when he went to pick up his son, but his world turned completely upside down in a moment. Danger, excitement and a new relationship were all wrapped up in one package.

    Good story about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, then finding everything you thought was real is a sham, and worse.
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024
    Jimmy was caught in the crossfire.
    As honest as one can be, so why did someone want to frame him for
    Being a bad cop, after his death.
    So many twist and turns.
    One DA investigator was going to find the truth protecting a 4 year old boy and his father.
