Good book especially if you love this type of reading! One things I found while reading this one is it wasn't what I thought was going to happen.

Really good book. I have always enjoyed Marti Green's books and this one was no exception.


The overall premise was interesting, and the plot was good, the characters were realistic, So many threads to ensure a complete and utterly enthralling read. Everything this author writes is quite simply incredible

I found The Price of Justice ok, not bad, but not great either.

The overall premise was interesting, and the plot was good, but characters did not grip me, and at times I found the writing a bit soap-operish: the intent, I am sure, was to make the characters more relatable, humanise them in a way, but for me it did not work.

So all in all - perfectly ok read, if you like true-crime-style fiction.

Does the rich guy from the arrogant family have the same right to be fought for as a poor victim of the prejudices?

Win Melton from THE Melton family is waiting on the death row when another death row inmate confesses he had done the crime. Conveniently? After all, the Meltons are used to pay their way by the money. And the tiger grandmother Amelia Melton wants Dani Trumball, an Help Innocent Prisoners Project’s defense lawyer, to ger her grandson out of the prison. Dani doesn't want to do it, but Ms Melton is willing to donate a big sum, and that money could be use to help. So Dani unwillingly starts to investigate. And yes, Win Melton does seem to be innocent. But...but.

A smart procedural crime about what the justice is, and for whom. A believable plot with several nicely done twists. The pace is fast and the logics behind is quite sharp. It makes one think about all of our prejudices - after all, there is a reason why the goddess of justice is blind.
