Book Review: A Justified Murder #2 by Jude Deveraux

  The small town of Lachlan, Florida, was rocked last year when two bodies were uncovered in the roots of a fallen tree. Despite their lack of investigative experience, Sara Medlar; her niece, Kate; and Jack Wyatt found themselves at the center of the mystery, working together to reveal the truth behind a decades-old secret in the sleepy town. After a narrow escape, they vowed to never again involve themselves in something so dangerous—until Janet Beeson is murdered.

When Janet’s body is discovered, everyone is shocked by the violence of the attack. The sweet little old woman has been shot, stabbed and poisoned, but no one can imagine who would want to harm one of the town’s kindest, most helpful residents.

Sara, Kate and Jack are determined to leave this case to the professionals. But they are soon bombarded by townspeople eager to tell their stories and clear their names with the trio who solved the Morris murders. Even the sheriff is hoping they’ll lend their skills to a crime that seems to have no explanation and no motive. And once the town gets talking, they begin to see that there are more secrets buried in quiet Lachlan than anyone could have imagined…

                           MY REVIEW:

A Justified Murder by Jude Deveraux

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sara Medlar is an author, with her niece Kate and a man like a son, Jack, they end up getting involved in murders. This trio always seems to stumble upon bodies and start figuring out what happened. Even when they say they won't get involved they do.
This time Janet Beeson is murdered. This sweet little old woman was stabbed, shot and poisoned. Everyone said how kind she was and helpful to everyone.
But at all hours of the night their door is being pounded on. Please clear my name, she was so helpful, and on and on these folks confide in the trio. Even the sheriff has asked for their help. But as they continue to look into Janet, they find out she isn't who they thought she was and all kinds of secrets come about.
I am enjoying this series and the banter between the trio. Jack really likes Kate and tries to make all kinds of innuendos but she keeps thwarting his ideas. Even though you think she really likes him. She sees him as a ladies man.
