Delayed Justice by Cara Putman

Jaime Nichols went to law school to find the voice she never had as a child, and her determination to protect girls and women in the path of harm drives her in ways both spoken and unspoken. As Jamie, now a criminal defense attorney, prepares to press charges against someone who wronged her long ago, she must face not only her demons but also the unimaginable forces that protect the powerful man who tore her childhood apart.

Chandler Bolton, a retired veteran, is tasked with helping a young victim who must testify in court-and along with his therapy dog, Aslan, he's up for the task. When he first meets Jaime, all brains, beauty, and brashness, he can't help but be intrigued. As Chandler works to break through the wall Jaime has built around herself, the two of them discover that they may have more to offer one another than they ever could have guessed-and that together, they may be able to help this endangered child.

This is the third book in the Hidden Justice series by Cara Putman.  It seems as if it is getting harder and harder these days to find Christian Fiction with a suspense/intrigue angle.  But I can tell you this, Cara Putman has nailed it again!

I won’t bore you with another synopsis of the story, but I will tell you this.  Ms. Putman has created, in this entire series, not just this one book, characters that are believable, broken and human.  This isn’t a “rah,rah” look how great of a Christian I am, this is a story told of characters that don’t feel worthy and struggle daily.  This is a story of characters that are saved and try to walk a path of faith daily and still struggle.  This is a story of grace and how much we need it and what He does to provide it to us.  Twists and turns and suspense and intrigue, I could go on and on.  But I’ll just stop right here so that you’ve got plenty of time to get to the bookstore and BUYTHIS BOOK!!

 

Is this a "guy's book"?  Yes, yes and double yes!  A book that grips you from the start, a book that hits on sensitive subjects but keeps its distance and a book about grace.  If you were wondering what might be lurking ahead to take time away from your household chores, this book, this entire series is a must read!
