In this case, diamonds are not always a girl's best friend. An intriguing story. ( )

I believe I read another novel in this series in the past which may have been why I requested this first book in the series. I think I liked the other novel better. I didn't realize this was book 1 in the series while I was reading it--I guess it makes sense since the cold case unit seems to be being formed.

Potential Spoilers Ahead--read more at your own discretion:

Andi wants to make a name for herself in journalism--apparently as a testament to what her deceased sister wanted. So much so that she's putting off fixing her back that she hurt to get a story and is willing to take pain meds for it. She's also deluding herself that she's not becoming addicted to them and apparently is using them to dull emotional pain as well.

Jimmy confessed to killing Andi's sister, but now someone from the past steps forward to say that there is proof he didn't do it. With only a few days before the execution is to take place, Jimmy's cousin, Will, must hustle to put together the pieces of the story to find out the truth before it is too late to save Jimmy. ( )

A perfectly gripping start to Patricia Bradley’s Memphis Cold Case series, Justice Delayed delivers everything a fan of romantic suspense could want. With plenty of high-stakes action, drama, and danger amidst, of course, the suspense and romance, a murder thought to be solved needs to be reopened as a cold case and brings a reporter and a detective together to find the true killer. Moving at a fast pace, this plot kept me intrigued at every turn, and I enjoyed guessing at the truth along with the characters. Well-written and realistically compelling to the very end, Justice Delayed is a page-turner that lovers of romantic suspense should not skip. I recommend it.

Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a complimentary copy of Justice Delayed and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )
