I was shocked when it ended. Expected other answers. No closure. Great book all the way to the end. Kept my attention just as all her books have done, but I did not like the ending.

Justice Delayed Patricia Bradley 9780800727086 Books Reviews

Story was good, riveting even. But even though a lot of people cuss in the world, I prefer to not have it in the books I read. If they can't express themselves, express concern,etc., without resorting to coarseness, that's their problem, not mine. Plus, since I think I found this book under Christian Suspense, God was nowhere in sight in the story...only a lot of self-effort and determination. Won't be reading this author's other works.
Justice Delayed is a great start to the Memphis Cold Case series. Stephanie Hollister was murdered eighteen years ago and her convicted murderer is on death row about to be executed in just days away. Jimmy Shelton, Steph's on again/off again boyfriend admitted that he killed Stephanie but later recanted stating he was coerced into admitting his guilt. Jimmy had a problem with drinking and just couldn't remember what happened. Just days before his set execution, Lacey Wilson, an old roommate of Stephanie's has contacted Stephanie's younger sister, Andi, wanting to get together with her to give her answers about the night that Stephanie died. She also sent a letter to Jimmy with news that he did not kill Stephanie and she has proof. Andi is an investigative reporter hoping to make it to a larger market along with her longtime friend and investigative partner, Treece. Lacey never showed to meet with Andi and was later found dead. Andi's brother police investigator Brad and his best friend Will Kincade, new member of the Memphis Police Cold Case division, are on the way to a basketball game when Brad is called to the Wilson home where Lacey is found in her car inside her garage of a possible suicide. But is it? Jimmy is Will's cousin and calls Will to let him know about the letter from Lacey. After Andi is later attacked in her home by someone claiming she has his diamonds and the letter to Jimmy disappears, Lacey's death and other events point to the possibility that all is tied into Stephanie's death. Will asked and gets permission to open Stephanie's murder case back up to look at as a cold case. At the time of Stephanie's death, she, Lacey and a couple of other girls lived in a house owned by the Hollister family. She was killed in a studio outside the main house where she worked pottery. Several of the girls were flight attendants and a few of their guy friends were pilots. Something is going on with the group of friends but no one is talking and time is tight if Jimmy is innocent. There is a large pool of possible suspects and lots of incidents happen to keep the story flowing and action packed. There are a couple of side issues to cause problems. One is that Andi is taking pain meds for an injury to her back and she isn't aware of how much she is taking. Because Jimmy is Will's cousin, this causes friction between Will and Brad and Will and Andi but there is attraction between Andi and Will that they can't deny. This is a great suspense with some romance and faith intertwined in the story and a start to an awesome series that I highly recommend.
Bradley is a good writer, her voice is absent of the worst of writing mistakes that some Christian of the Christian drivel (sorry to my brothers and sisters in Christ) contains. We need better writers represented in this market, not worse.
Bradley had a pretty good story idea, nice plot twists. Unfortunately, this book gives you the frustration of a major subplot going unresolved. The very serious issue of prescription drug addiction makes its appearance but is never really resolved. It's far too deep of an issue plaguing this nation and Christians as well, to be just left open-ended. There is a hint at the character just committing to "stop" but nothing mentioned again. I do mean a hint. Addiction to the level this character rapidly (and unrealistically) spiraled to is not resolved as an afterthought of, "oops, guess its' time to stop." Not to mention, the process of the occasional use for pain - to dangerous use was unrealistic and therefore, came across as just plain silly.
Not well thought out. I'm not saying it could not happen, but when you put an entire addiction issue that comes upon a person and reaches an absolutely dangerous level in the space of less than a week, it gets silly.
Overall, not well developed and a bit frustrating. But this author has some promise, at the right price (under $3) I might try another book of hers to see if she improved.
A friend of mine has read and enjoyed Patricia’s novels for a long time now not until I read her newest story did I fully understand the reason. In Justice Delayed, we meet a spunky woman named Andi whose sister was murdered many years ago. Even with the age difference Andi was close to her sister and became a journalist due to the last words she heard her sister speak to her.
In the past, four women stewardesses lived together and may have become involved in illegally smuggling rough diamonds into the States. While not technically a cold case, the man who is to be executed for murder in a matter of a few days receives a letter stating he didn’t do the deed. Now, his cousin, who is a detective in the cold case unit, must try to find out the real perpetrator or the evidence that proves the man’s guilt. The twist is they are related and Andi knows them as well, having grown up together in the same neighborhood.
Both Andi and her brother Brad and detective Will eventually come together to find out the truth about Stephanie even though their friendship is strained by the case. Will has issues with his birth mother and her coming once again into his life uninvited along with trying to keep Andi from further harm as she digs into stories that are dangerous. Add to that the growing feelings Will has towards her and vice versa and the story just keeps getting better and better.
I loved how well the author kept me guessing as to who committed what deed and how the various threads of different cases may come together to reveal a completed tapestry of truth. There are familiar issues, addiction, danger, action and adventure all while on the road to uncover the truth that has been buried for over a decade. I hope if you are not familiar with Patricia Bradley’s books that you too will grab a copy and enjoy the mystery and the tension as it builds throughout the story all the way to the conclusion!
