This is the seventh of Patricia Bradley's eleven books that I have had the pleasure of reading. She quickly became one of my favorite mystery writers, and remains in that group with Justice Betrayed, the third book in her Memphis Cold Case series.
Homicide detective Rachel Sloan is not so sure how serious to take the Elvis tribute artist who showed up at her desk in full Elvis attire, until that is he mentions a connection to the unsolved mystery of her mother's murder. As the case progresses it becomes deadly serious as connections begin to appear between more cases, both past and present, and Rachel's own life appears to be threatened.
Lieutenant Boone Callahan, Rachel's superior officer, has mixed emotions about Rachel's move to the homicide division of the Memphis Police Department; working in the division would eliminate the possibility of renewing their relationship, and he couldn't help feeling protective of her as it became apparent that her current case was becoming personal. His own past as an army officer in Iraq was impacting their situation almost as much as Rachel's history with the suspects and victims in this case. What would it take to sort through all of these issues, and would it be too late?
I read Justice Betrayed in two days, putting other responsibilities on the back burner while becoming immersed in this story. I highly recommend it to mystery fans. If you are a fan of Colleen Coble, Lynette Eason, or Sandra Orchard, you will enjoy Patricia Bradley as well. I thank NetGalley and Revell Publishing for providing me with a copy of Justice Betrayed in exchange for an honest review. I received no monetary compensation and was under no obligation to give a positive review.
