| Justice Denied by M. Diane Vogt iUniverse 244 pages, 2000 ISBN 0595128971 Reviewed by PJ Nunn Read our author interview Read our review of Silicone Solution US District Judge Willa Carson has been on the job long enough to know there is no clearly defined line between wrong and right. Even so, the lines in her own life are usually intact. The possibility of General Andrews’ appointment as a US Supreme Court Justice raises a wave of protest. It seems everyone that Willa knows has a passionate opinion about the topic. But all are not in agreement, which is not unusual in politics. Yet tensions run so deep that there’s an attempted assassination. And although Willa doesn’t recognize it at first, it’s only a preview of things to come. There were those who wanted to prevent Andrews’ confirmation to the Supreme Court, but someone wanted him dead, and they got what they wanted. Surprisingly, few people seemed sorry he was gone. Only one thing about the whole scenario is new to Willa – her husband George is one of the murder suspects. So in typical Willa fashion, fight back she does. But how effective can Willa be when she doesn’t know for sure who killed Andrews? She knows George didn’t like Andrews. And she can’t deny that there’s been a significant breakdown in her marital communications. Will her marriage survive the ordeal, and will her desperate attempts to find the truth put her own life in danger? Silicone Solution, the first Willa Carson book, was an intriguing glimpse into a side of the bench not often seen. Vogt has surpassed herself with Justice Denied, a riveting mystery from the beginning. The character of Willa is intimidating, knowledgeable and vulnerable - a brilliant portrayal of a woman accustomed to being in charge. Vogt shows her strength as a writer and a jurist, delivering a haunting expose that will keep pages turning into the night. |
