I recently received a copy of Deadly Proof by Rachel Dylan from Bethany House. I love a suspense/mystery novel. I also have an interest in the law and court cases, etc., so this book was right up my alley.
This story is about Kate Sullivan, a lawyer who is chosen to defend numerous cases against a large pharmaceutical company. As she begins investigating the evidence, threats are made, and she is forced to accept help from a mysterious ex-military man, now private investigator, Landon James. Sullivan is seeking the truth and justice and James is seeking to reconcile with God and his friends. They help each other along the way.
Rachel Dylan writes in a way that keeps you interested even when not much of anything is going on in the story. The suspense is very exciting, and the legal side of the story is very informative without being boring. I'd say this book is very similar to reading a book by Dee Henderson (who just happens to be one of my favorite authors).
This is the start of The Atlanta Justice series, so there is a lot of background on characters and setting up for more books to come. I just looked up the second book on Goodreads (find that here) and I'm excited to see where the story is going, and I will be looking out for the next book!
