I knocked this one off in just a couple of days - loved it!! I like to discover new things when I read fiction and I just loved the details that Mr. Huebner went into during the courtroom scenes - much deeper than one usually gets with this kind of book. Overall, Shades of Justice took courtroom drama to the next level. A thoroughly engrossing read.

This story is set in Seattle - a well known author who has suffered mental illness all her life is found barely alive with her husband who was shot dead. Did she shoot him? Not even she knows. Honestly, the Seattle angle was interesting but the rest of it really wasn't.

This read like a Perry Mason TV show. There was lots of court room time - going nowhere. After 2-300 pages of meticulous court proceedings, suddenly a new element is introduced and VOILA! Just like that, the whole convoluted mystery unravels in a manner not previously established in the long drawn out court proceedings.
I had memories of Perry Mason suddenly figuring out that someone in the courtroom, totally unsuspected, was the perp. He would accuse that person and then the perp would sobbingly confess.
No confessions here, just unsubstantiated accusations and personal conclusions.
When I picked the book up in the library, it was on the "new book" shelf and I had no idea that it was written in 2001. I think this was the first novel by Huebner. Looking at the stars on his subsequent novels, I thought maybe he had improved, but then realized that in most cases, the stars indicated an "average of 1 reviewer."
