    1. This first book in the new Atlanta Justice series by Rachel Dylan is superb There isn t a lot of Christian Legal Fiction out there so I was thrilled when Bethany House picked up this author as I d already grown to love her independent books and Love Inspired Suspense books.One of the biggest reasons I was excited about this series was the fact that it is a series of three books with female lawyer main characters So many of our books are centered on the hero in the books so it is nice to have a s [...]

    2. by Andrea Renee CoxWhen I saw the endorsement on the front cover of this book, I knew I wanted to read it How could I not when it s touted to rival a John Grisham novel I wish I had a bunch of positive things to say about this book, but I cannot pretend I enjoyed it This is an extremely difficult review to write, because I dislike being negative about any author s hard work I know how many hours and emotions and commitment go into writing a novel, and I appreciate the passion and effort and time [...]

    6. My interest was immediately piqued by this author when I saw the cover and read the synopsis I like a good legal thriller, and I had high hopes for this one Unfortunately, this book fell short for me While I didn t love all the legality, I actually enjoyed those bits than the other story included with Landon and Kate Their relationship seemed very contrived, and I would have liked to see of their life outside the whole case Whenever there were normal scenes, all their struggles were talked abo [...]

    7. I have such a book hangover Stayed up until three in the morning because I could not put Deadly Proof down So I m all frazzled nerves and discombobulated brain but valiantly trying to put into words how good this book is And I don t even like legal thrillers Mostly because I get so confused by the legal jargon But Dylan didn t lose me once She deftly wove layman descriptions into the technical bits so I totally understood what was happening, why certain procedures were so important and boy, did [...]

    8. Fast paced drama keeps the reader glued to the pages, as well as quickly escalating high stakes legal implications and hard hitting realistic fiction The closer the case gets to trial, the danger lead counsel Kate Sullivan faces Can she bring a satisfying resolution to court before it s too late I ve never read a legal thriller suspense before because the subject never interested me until I had opportunity to read Deadly Proof I thought why not give it a try I m so glad I did because it s one I [...]

    9. My thoughts Legal thrillers aren t usually my cup of tea This one gripped me from the first page I was fascinated with the behind the scenes working of the lawsuit I loved Kate s determination to get to the truth I loved that she wanted justice for her clients The underhandedness of the defendant was intriguing as well Because it made wonder exactly how far the corruption went The dynamic between Kate and Landon was interesting I wasn t too sure I liked them as a couple, but they did grow on me [...]

    10. This is my first read from Rachel Dylan, and I was definitely impressed Page turning suspense from start to finish, great plot, good characters, and an ending I never saw coming I particularly liked the courtroom and behind the scenes drama The premise of a civil lawsuit against a drug company for side effects of a drug was so appropriate for today s happenings The manipulations and outright lies by the drug company were not the least bit surprising This was definitely an edge of your seat read, [...]

If you enjoy a read with you heart in your throat, this one will probably do it You never knew when the next shoe would drop, and just when you feel safe, boom or grab People are murdered or just disappear, and why, greed seems to be the answer here.The author kept me on my toes, and I felt like I was reading something that was in the paper, there is often a lawsuit against a drug company, and what drug doesn t seem to come with warnings Surprises abound right up until the end, never would have [...]

    17. I find it fascinating to read about the inner workings of legal procedures as a case comes to trial It doesn t matter if the main story is about the prosecution s side or that of the defendant It is interesting Of course, I don t understand the terms being used, but the author s ability to write about how information is gathered and presented and what is and is not allowed in court is certainly evidenced in Deadly Proof as practicing attorney and author Rachel Dylan takes us into the world where [...]

I enjoy a hint of suspense, but when I realized that this book was set at a law firm and the storyline was primarily legal, I wasn t so sure I would enjoy it I am happy to say that I was dead wrong as my rating hints I thoroughly enjoyed this read It was very educational without making me feel like I was reading something completely out of my element I actually enjoyed everything with the court cases and found the information very creatively woven throughout the entire story.Kate was a character [...]

    27. I m thrilled some legal suspense books have popped up in the Christian market this year Admittedly, they ve probably been around for a while and I m just finding them so maybe I should say I m thrilled to read some of the new legal suspense books this year John Grisham books used to be a favorite of mine, and cleaner options with faith threads running through them are a needed alternative.Even though Rachel Dylan has published several books in the Love Inspired Suspense line, I wasn t aware of h [...]

    28. This is a fairly fast paced, well written, suspenseful legal thriller with a light touch of romance The legal terms are well explained for those who aren t familiar with legalese and it was interesting that we got to read about both sides of the case I think it added to the drama of the whole story line.I liked how Kate had such a strong work ethic along with a compassionate heart for the people she is trying to get justice for It is encouraging that in spite of her personal issues she keeps her [...]
