I have read all of Patricia Bradley's romantic suspense novel, so I am pretty familiar with how she handles a story. She tends to favor the suspense over the romance, which is my preference too. In her latest and, I believe, final installment in her Memphis Cold Case series, Justice Betrayed, she does exactly that. I had a good time following the mystery and wanting to know who killed Rachel's mom and some Elvis tribute artists. The discovery of the bad guy was solved pretty early on for me. The romance wasn't really that important, but the story, of course, ends in a happily-ever-after. I liked Rachel as a heroine. She knew what she wanted and was willing to seek after clues that could hurt her in the long run.

As for the character of Erin, I really didn't see much about her that showed she was a young child stuck in an older's womans body. Having a sister-in-law who is 32 with a mind of two-year-old, I have a pretty good idea how they act. Erin for the most part acted like a regular adult. Her speech wasn't different. Maybe she acted a little different with the things she says, but there was no slur to her speech, which happens with most of them. It is really hard to understand a lot of them.

Even though this bothered me reading the story, it didn't take away from the hunt for the Elvis tribute artist killers. I just glided over the concept of Erin and kept focused on the mystery.

Overall, Justice Betrayed by Patricia Bradley was an okay mystery. It didn't really wow me like I want a mystery too. I enjoyed spending time with Rachel because she was the most interesting character. I think fans of Colleen Coble, Irene Hannon, and Brandilyn Collins would enjoy this novel.

I received a complimentary copy of Justice Betrayed by Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

I really enjoyed “Justice Betrayed” by Patricia Bradley. This book is part of the Memphis Cold Case Files. I have read the first few, but you can read these books out of order and still understand them.

This book starts out with an incident that happened many years ago. Then it jumps to modern day. I have to admit, at first, it was a little confusing. But after I got into the book, I understood what was happening. This book has a little romantic tension and a lot of suspense trying to figure out who the killer is.

I have read all of Patricia Bradley’s books, and I have loved every one of them. She is one of my favorite authors, and I highly recommend her. I love when I find an author who writes good, clean romantic suspense books. I highly recommend this book.

I received this book from Net Galley and the publisher for my honest opinion.
