Lorne Simpkins #6
Ultimate Justice
A ship wreck—
Dozens of bodies washed ashore—
Clear evidence that evil has made port in London.
The horrific case piques the interest of P.I. Lorne Simpkins. It doesn't take long before Lorne learns that young, helpless women are being caged and sold to the wealthy and salacious. Old wounds are wrenched open when she suspects a cover-up by the very authorities that should be keeping lawful order. Can she trust the self-serving journalist bent on making the human-trafficking ring his next big story? When her daughter is involved in a life-threatening accident, it's difficult for Lorne to keep her head in the game. But Lorne and her ex-MI6 husband, Tony, are determined to end the repulsive slave trade and bring the criminals to justice—even if it means Lorne ends up locked in a cage herself.

I will admit to not enjoying the beginning of this series however as I've gone along I have to say I'm enjoying them more and starting to feel invested in the characters.
This book tackles the trafficking of people which was quite interesting.
These books certainly aren't deep, but they are very readable.
At the time of posting this series is available on Kindle Unlimited.

I can safely say that ‘Ultimate Justice’ is one of my favourite novels from the Justice series written by the ever so fantastic Mel Comley to date. This series just gets better and better.
This story kicks off with a tragedy at sea. A ship containing an illegal 'cargo' of Asian girls, to be sold and used as sex slaves, is caught in a storm, capsizes and sinks off the coast of Kent. No one survives and soon numerous corpses are washed ashore.
Private Investigator Lorne Warner is horrified by the news and smelling foul play, she immediately feels the urge to dig deeper into the story. With the help of an investigative journalist, her husband Tony and DS Katy Foster she discovers that there is a whole racket of illegal human trafficking going on which may have the full backing of several high profile dignitaries.
Soon the case proves hard to crack as the associates involved in this operation are powerful and determined to stop at nothing in order to safeguard their business. This includes eliminating their number one cause of concern who is sticking her nose in their affairs... Lorne Warner.
Once you start reading this fast paced novel you won't want to stop to discover what will happen next. The final part will leave you gasping for air…literally.
By the way, Pete Childs will also have something to say in all this.
I have already started to read the next and newest instalment in the Justice Series – Virtual Justice - and from the first pages it already looks to be unfolding into another knock out novel.
I gave 5 stars to Ultimate Justice:
5 stars for the idea behind and the main theme of the novel
5 stars for the brilliant plot with all its twists and turns
5 stars for the realistic and wonderful cast of lovable characters
5 stars for the impeccable narration and dialogue
5 stars for the fine grammar and punctuation…but mostly…
5 stars to Mel Comley !!!

I am sitting here dabbing my eyes. Grab a box of tissues before you reach the end of this book.
I have heard some people say that this is the final book of this series. All I can say is I hope not! Ultimate Justice is a perfect addition to the series; the story is strong, the characters continue to remain engaging. Anyone who hasn't read The Justice Series is cheating himself.

Ultimate Justice by M A Comley is a mystery novel that presented a mystery to me that was one not intended by the author. This title is listed as Book 6 in the Justice Series. The mystery for me was how a series could survive with five previous titles of writing such as this. As bad as this novel was, I was determined to read through to the end to find out if there was something magical that would make me want to read anything else written by this author. There are twenty-five chapters and I got to chapter sixteen before I took a break and went to Amazon to see if I could determine how such writing could survive and sell in the marketplace. I did not want to read any reviews before writing mine, but I wanted to get a feel for the number of stars this and other novels in the series had collected.
I found I had purchased the novel for USD 0.00 even though the first price appearing on its webpage is USD 3,99 for the 175-page novel. I breathed my first sigh of relief. The novel had 70 reviews and 64% of them were five stars. What? I immediately went to the Amazon author page and was shocked. Statistics led me to believe this is a successful author. With writing improbable stuff like this, I feel it is even possible I might write a successful story someday.
This novel has all the fingerprints of good technical writing. Formatting and grammar were first class. All the elements of good writing are present. Conflicts are interesting. Characters were written to elicit sympathy, some to the point of cloying sweetness. The author appealed to animal lovers, people in unfortunate marriages, parents who had faced the trauma of abused children, working mothers whose careers consumed them, human trafficking, men who had finally learned to cook, aging parents, political incorrectness, domestic abuse, greed in general, corruption in high and government places, and the underemployment of a former MI6 husband married to a stay-at-home former Detective Inspector trying to start a Private Investigation agency. There are lots of extraordinary situations that invade the ordinary lives of super wife Lorne and husband Tony and the author wanted to make sure the pair missed nothing. The only thing left out were transition elements that would tie everything together in some sort of meaningful way.
For me, the problems started with Chapter Two. Lorne operates an animal rescue center; she seems to primarily rescue dogs. She then finds homes for them. In chapter two, Lorne drives to the home of Natasha Walsh to make a home visit. Lorne had previously placed a dog, one an elderly couple could no longer keep, with Natasha. Although she had made a previous home visit to assess home suitability, this was a follow up to assure the home was suitable. As an aside, an Asian woman serving as a maid seems to have been struck in the face (possible domestic abuse) but it also could be depression because a ship had been lost at sea the previous day and perhaps her sister had been on it (possible human trafficking). But at least the dog was in a well-established home. Does any other reader note the “White Whine” situation here? From this point on, I was sensitive to meaningless rich person concern issues.
For a different annoying issue, we can look at pg. 28. “How does spag bol sound?” asks husband Tony. Good grief, does Tony become overly tired at completing entire words? Are sentences then a challenge? A few sentences later, “He wouldn’t dream of doing such a daft (cooking) thing nowadays, after her superb guidance in the kitchen.” (pg. 29). Good husband. Good puppy.
We have a minor reprieve until Chapter five. Lorne’s sister Jade has reported that she has a friend who has an Asian maid who is also sad because she had a sister who may have been on the boat that went down in the storm (possible human trafficking). Would Lorne investigate it? Of course, because aside from an animal rescue center Lorne has started a detective agency. She herself had been a Detective Inspector and her husband was a former intelligence officer. Considering her background, she goes on to ask, “How friendly are you with MI6/5 at the moment?” (pg. 38). Yes, moppet, the two agencies are the same. They just have two different numbers to confuse the public.
By Chapter Ten, Lorne and former partner Katy have joined forces to begin an impromptu investigation into a tip provided by an informant that there might be more to the story of the sunken ship (human trafficking). Katy is temporarily staying with Lorne while she, Katy, has been suspended from her police job. That gives her time to assist Lorne and unofficially access police data support. What luck. What serendipity. The two will visit the home of the informant and find that he has been visited by sinister forces, been beaten, and had his fingers cut off. It was lucky the two friends found him in time to save his life.
Lorne and Katy are in search of Lorne’s daughter, Charlie. They found that Charlie has disappeared with a boyfriend. The two were found in a wrecked car off the main road. The boyfriend was dead; Charlie was taken to a hospital. As Katy and Lorne leave the hospital intending to come back later and talk to Charlie when sedation wore off, they notice a truck following. It is getting closer all the time and Lorne suspects it might be the same one that had run Lorne and Tony off the road a few days before. Good suspicion. As the four-by-four hit and continued ramming them Katy noted to Lorne, “I’m worried about your dad’s car, Lorne.” Once Lorne gave permission to avoid further ramming, Katy reassured Lorne with, “I forgot to tell you that I took an advanced driving course a couple of months back.” (pg. 92). Perhaps Katy carried transcripts in her overnight bag. Calls are made for assistance while the ramming continues. The car goes off the road into a ditch with lots of water, those in the four-by-four flee, and help arrives. There is much merriment as both rescuers and rescued take turns falling into the ditch water. The police help which has arrived notes that Katy is on suspension and should not be working any case. This allows Lorne to insist on women’s’ rights and threaten the police agency with legal action if equality is not forthcoming. Enjoying life in the face of death, what fun! We are now at 52% of the novel and I want very much to abandon it but a perverted sense of fondness for self-punishment spurs me on.
Chapter Fifteen produces a tipping point for me. Lorne, Katy, and Tony decide, based on an informant tip, to do covert surveillance on a point where there will be a transfer of girls to be sold. After all, Tony is a former covert operative and he will have no problem in mentoring his skills during a hostile operation. The two get to a warehouse and see the operation in progress. As for Lorne, she “saw the three men move to the rear of the lorry, laughing and sharing dirty jokes.” (pg. 110). Lorne could see the men moving and laughing. She knew the jokes they were sharing were dirty jokes. Lorne was close indeed.
We are now at 62% of the novel. Finally, Lorne saw the “men punched each other in the arm before they entered the warehouse. The gesture sickened her; it wasn’t difficult to understand what their deviant intentions were.” (page 110-111). Lorne is a former Detective Inspector. She has seen many things. But now, it is the gesture of two men punching each other in the arm that sickens her. Really, it is her imagination that sickens her. At this point, the book has sickened me and for the first time ever, I will abandon a book at the 63% point.
I give this novel one Amazon star for formatting and good grammar.

This is the sixth book in the Justice series and for me they just keep getting better and better - I loved the plot in this one, it is gritty hard hitting and I found the story completely addictive and it is also really relevant to recent news stories with the increase in the numbers of migrants trying to make their way to the UK.
Lorne is a fantastic character; the author has really developed her so she is a force to be reckoned with, I love her interaction with the other characters in the books and her family and friends support network is excellent. The author has created a set of genuine characters and I love seeing them work together in the stories.
This story is a tough one as the subjects are dark in nature but the author does a fantastic job with them and they are handled with the care and delicacy needed whilst still making sure the book is a complete page turner – and not everyone has that skill!
This book can be read as a standalone as the author does recap so you aren’t missing out on anything needed to help your enjoyment of the story, but they are best read as part of the series if you get an opportunity to do so!
Five stars from me, another fabulous addition to the Justice series – one of my favourite crime series available at the moment – this book is definitely a must read for any fans of police procedurals and crime fiction thrillers!!

Another brilliant installment in the Justice series by the fantastic Mel Comley!
Lorne Simpkins is back, with her ex-MI6 husband Tony, hunting down the bad guys and kicking a**! We also see more from her dad, Sam, her daughter, Charlie, and her ex-partner Katy!
Dealing with the story of a ship carrying girls being abused in a human trafficking ring, it's a little difficult to read at times, but Comley deals with the subject brilliantly - enough detail to make the story hard-hitting, but not enough to make you want to put the book down!
This book should come with a warning though - without giving away any spoilers, be prepared to cry at the end! Have a box of tissues handy!
A brilliant end (but hopefully not!) to a fantastic series, with lovable characters and exciting story-lines. Will be sadly missed!

Possibly the final book in the series (OK, it is the last book but I just don’t want it to be and really, REALLY hope Mel will write another).
What an ending! This is certainly an action packed finale to the series, Lorne saves the day (again) with the help of her ex-MI5 husband and his mates. It is a close call though, nail-bitingly so! The PI business is still slow, work is not overly forthcoming, but this leaves Lorne to follow her own instincts and chase up any leads that she happens to stumble upon. The lives of a lot of young girls rest on the success of Lorne’s detective skills in this book.
A fantastic [end to the] series, and I’m really sad that I might not be reading anymore Lorne stories.

This 6th book of the Justice series is another fabulous, fast read. If you liked the others, make sure you set time aside for this one. Once you start, you won't want to stop reading. The whole cast of your favorite characters are back, even Pete having his say here and there! The main plot keeps you guessing at who the bad guys are and how Lorne will get herself out of the deadly situations only she can worm her way into. Comley also has fantastic back stories going on, which is one of the things I love best about her books; they are filled a variety of plots to take your emotions from one extreme to the next. Download this book now and get ready for a book filled with mystery, thrills, fun, surprises, friendship, psychics, and tears. Gotta love Lorne!

well this was book 6 in a series that i've trully enjoyed reading.
I'm a little sad that this is probably the last in the series, although we can live in hope for another one one day.
A great read, i didnt want to stop reading, i needed to carry on to see what was happening, but as i got towards the end i didnt want to read because i knew once i finished it that was it...lol..
May i suggest a box of tissues for when you get near the end, and maybe reading it on your own, not in public..lol
Thanks again Mel for a fantastic series, i just cant wait to see what you write next. looking forward to the new book...

This book made me laugh, shiver and cry. An excellent addition or ending to the Justice Series, although I do hope I'll see Lorne again.

Loved the 'Justice' set of books. Each one as gripping as the last and didn't want to get to the end.

Greed of a captain for the money of bringing in his cargo of Asian girls to be sold. A fight on board then a ship wreck, with bodies washing up on shore.
Lorne smells a cover up by the authorizes, and when people she knows having lost loves Getting involved she is now determined to investigate.
With her former partner Katy they uncover the gritty side of what was going on, is there no end to the greed, and the human suffering. Will it be a story to bring Katy back as a reporter. The toll it takes when Charlie is once again taken. Good series, and looking forward to his new one

Not my cup of tea!
I read this book to the end, but it was torture. The characters were shallow and almost comical. The plot made no sense. Why the police were not called in to raid the warehouse after the initial “shipment” is absurd. In the end they were called in, but only after the reader was subjected to a lurid description of the sexual assault of Mai Lin, an abducted Asian immigrant (Somehow, unrealistically, the main female characters escaped that fate) and a second shipment was brought in. All in all, the plot was absurd and the characters were cartoony.

Why the police were not called in to raid the warehouse after the initial “shipment” is absurd. In the end they were called in, but only after the reader was subjected to a lurid description of the sexual assault of Mai Lin, an abducted Asian immigrant (Somehow, unrealistically, the main female characters escaped that fate) and a second shipment was brought in. All in all, the plot was absurd and the characters were cartoony.

Final Justice?
Enjoyed all of this series that I have read. However, the time has come for me to move on. The action is a slow burn until the blaze at the end. Not a monumental story or concept dominates this book. The evil of the premise is common in too many novels. Unfortunately, this one is very light in depth.

Ultimate Justice
I enjoy reading the Justice series. They are fast reading page turners that are hard to put down. Normally the story line is pretty well believable. I gave Ultimate Justice for stars because I feel the believability was stretched too much when it came to locating and rescuing the girls.

Human Rescue
Although Lorne & Tony run an animal rescue, this time she checks up on a newly adopted pekinese & finds herself getting involved in a human trafficking ring.
As usual she ends up in the thick of it, and ends up in the Channel with an anchor tied to her ankle.
The book ends on a sad, but not unexpected note.

Some people go through so much in their lives Lorne Warner is no exception, you feel her strength and resilience through such clever writing, every journey she makes I'm with her, with each turn of the page my heart is in my mouth, even at the end of the book I know there's more to come. Superb stories love it!

This is a very simplistic girls' own adventure story. it has no twists or real surprises and is entirely predictable. The only real surprise comes at the very end and even it is more likely housekeeping.

Ultimate Justice
Very entertaining and interesting novel about human trafficking and the problem it causes for so many people. Police, a reporter and two private investigators work together in this novel.

Not a favorite
This should have been a good book. The storyline was entertaining and the characters colorful. The redundancy was boring and to childish. Will try another of this author's work.

This book had me from the start to the end! Even though I understand this may be the end of a series, I am looking forward to reading the rest of the Justice series of books.

Another great read in the Justice series. Lots of twists and turns in this book. A tough subject to write about but handled well by the author. This series just keeps on getting better
