Looking for a good legal mystery? Consider giving this one a try - seriously. Top-notch young attorney Hayden McCarthy has just earned her chops by pulling off an almost unbelievable win - a feat that doesn't go unnoticed by her hoity-toity law firm.

Top-notch young attorney Hayden McCarthy has just earned her chops by pulling off an almost unbelievable win - a feat that doesn't go unnoticed by her hoity-toity law firm. But instead of a few days on a sunny beach or a hefty bonus, her reward is being assigned to a seemingly unwinnable wrongful death case. A young Mexican boy who attempted to enter the United States illegally was caught and stashed in a government-run juvenile detention facility in Texas - where he was murdered. Now, Hayden's firm has been asked to build - and more important, at least to Hayden's future career, win - a case against the government.

Add to the mix Hayden's roommate, who just happens to have a very hunky and eligible cousin named Andrew Wesley. And he just happens to be the son of an ambitious congressman. It goes without saying that Hayden and Andrew are wary of but attracted to each other. But even though Andrew claims to eschew his father's chosen profession of service to America, the fact that Hayden is going head-to-head with the government isn't exactly a relationship booster.

Tracking down the facts she'll need to build her case takes Hayden from her job in Washington, D.C., to Texas and back - with plenty of dangerous turns in between. Although almost none of it takes place in a courtroom, there's plenty of action and legal details as Hayden tries to ferret out the truth.

So we have likable, well-developed characters, a story that's intriguing, timely (immigration) and believable. So what was missing? Although I certainly should have known, I failed to pick up ahead of time on the fact that this book falls into the Christian category - and there few things in this life I do not want to read about more than someone's religious "journey."

But wait, there's more.

Other than one horrific moment when I was convinced the book would end with Andrew's asking Hayden to marry him only if she agreed to quit the high-profile job she loves and stay home to be a proper mother to their kids, matters of faith were for the most part unobtrusive. In fact, what few references there were seemed to be inserted haphazardly, almost as an afterthought, sometimes where they really didn't seem to fit. It was almost as if someone said, "Oops, God hasn't had a mention in 50 pages - better throw one in!"

And somehow, it strikes me that a "Christian" book should have more on that subject (or at least what was there should have been more fully developed). Ironic, isn't it, that the biggest downside (a mild one, I hasten to add) is that there wasn't enough of what I didn't want to read in the first place? But there it is.

That said, this is a very enjoyable book that's well worth reading no matter what side of the religion coin you're on. Many thanks to the publisher (via NetGalley) for providing me with an advance review copy.

I love a good mystery especially when it comes to drama, police, and legal arenas. This one hit the mark many of those topics and I was anxious to dive into it.

This is the first book I read by Cara Putman. One of the things I loved about this book is that there’s not a lot of courtroom drama or legalese going on. It’s more focused on the activity surrounding the case of the murdered minor.

Well, now, there’s an enjoyable legal thriller! I had a very hard time putting this one aside in order to do other things, and it kept gathering steam like a train down a sloped track, so I read all the way to 1 am to finish it! Hayden and Andrew are both really enjoyable characters, and even the legalese is written in a way that is fairly easy to follow.

Well, now, there’s an enjoyable legal thriller!

Hayden and Andrew are both really enjoyable characters, and even the legalese is written in a way that is fairly easy to follow. (No simple matter, for those who don’t follow federal legal processes to be comfortable reading details of such a case!)

My main gripe is in the details. Many brands are mentioned, and in some cases it helps bring the scene to life. But there were a number of instances where the improper use of details really pulled me out of the story and even had me popping over to Google a couple times to fact-check (something that should have been done by Putman’s editor.) Here are some details that jumped out at me:
-Using a Lysol wipe on one’s hands is against labeled directions and leaves the hands feeling sticky—not what most artists want to work with.
-Flights from DC to Waco take 4-5 hours, not two, and most flights have a connection in DFW rather than being direct.
-One hour outside Waco is not desert. It’s grassland.
-White Castle is not a Texas thing.
-Brake lines being cut don’t result in the wheels continuing to turn despite the gas pedal not being depressed.
-Hayden is surprised to see deer on a metro Virginia median? Happens all the time.
-Having the police blame a gunshot to a car on a “hunter missing a shot” in February in the city is a big stretch. Hunting seasons end by January, and it’s illegal to hunt within city limits or park limits. Such a shooter would be termed a “poacher” and it would not be dismissed out of hand.

Without all those details being amiss, I probably would have rated it higher because I’d have been all the more absorbed in the story.

Word usage: blonde/blond (both spellings used to describe a woman’s hair; not consistent), discrete used for “discreet” (-ete = separate, distinct; -eet = careful, not drawing attention to)

Thanks to NetGalley for a free review copy. A favorable review was not required. ...more

"My job is to help his mother discover what happened, peel back the layers of the government's bureaucracy and ensure this doesn't happen to another child."

This is the passionate advocacy of attorney Hayden MCarthy after being assigned a case to investigate the death of a young boy in a Texas juvenile detention center -- Miguel was killed there while trying to get into the USA illegally. His mother wants answers. His younger brother, Jorge, is scared and confused. Shadowy figures on the fringes are looking for something they believe that Miguel secreted out of Mexico -- drug cartel business. Hayden is trying her best to file a petition in the proper court but she isn't getting much support from her firm, Elliot & Johnson, nor is she getting the information she needs about what happened from Gerard Campbell, a partner, nor the mother. And she's trying to sue the US Government!

The action and transpiring events are nonstop as Hayden confronts the obstacles. Meanwhile, her roommate, Emilie, a former law school friend, has introduced Hayden to her cousin, Andrew Wesley. Oh yes, there's a romance here (I admit not my favorite part of a good story) and lots of intrigue as Hayden investigates her case. I really enjoyed the legalese and the development of the case theme told only so well because the author is an attorney. The characters are very interesting and I can't wait to learn more about them. Just so you know, this is also heavy on Christian themes -- which I didn't realize when I requested it, but it was easy to separate that out from the main narrative if it should bother you.

It is a complicated tale with some interesting twists and many side stories developing the characters and further issues central to the themes of immigration and integration. This is the first in a series and I'm lucky because I have the second already queued up and ready to go. Very intrigued and interested to see where it all leads.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Inc. for the e-book ARC to read and review. ...more

Hayden McCarthy is a character that I instantly fell in lov Beyond Justice that takes me back to the beauty of Washington, D.C. while sending me on a thrilling mission for justice fraught with twists, turns, and duplicity. 
  
Not only have I had the pleasure of getting to know Cara Putman through her work with ACFW, but I've also had the chance to do her headshots. Let me tell you - she is the sweetest! When I heard about this book I was sooo excited to read it and let me tell you, it delivered.

Hayden McCarthy is a character that I instantly fell in love with. I could easily picture her walking the streets of Arlington after a long day at work just as I could see her seeking out the truth through the justice system. Alternatively, I loved Andrew Wesley's character. He was multi-faceted and I appreciated his perspective juxtaposed with Hayden's.
 
The stakes of the book are obvious from the beginning and I liked how Cara was able to tie Andrew's work in with Hayden's case. I also appreciated the difference this book represents for the romantic suspense genre. I really enjoyed the fact that neither of their professions are 'typical' for a current romantic suspense. I feel like it was a fresh take on this genre and drew me in immediately.
 
I would point out that (at times) I felt a little ignorant of our justice system *cringes* and couldn't follow along on all parts. Cara did a great job explaining, but maybe I'm just too far gone to grasp some of the legal ideas and the court system. Still, wherever possible, I felt like she slipped in explanations that were not far fetched in the context of the conversation and made the "technical side" easily readable.
 
Lastly, the setting. OMG I miss D.C. so much and this book was like taking a walk along the Tidal Basin or seeing the Washington Monument in the sky line. It was beautifully portrayed and I felt like I was back there as I read this.
 
I'd definitely recommend this to those who like legal and suspense reads. It's not "high octane" action, but there's enough suspense to really grip you. The romance is wonderfully done as well and will really hold you to the end.

My rating: 4.5 stars ...more

I enjoy a good romantic suspense that is different and doesn't read like every other one out there. I have read plenty of romantic suspense to know that the story can be taken two different ways. I have seen some authors who rely highly on the romance side, whereas, I have read some authors who rely heavy on the suspense side. So it depends on that author and what they want more in their story. As for Cara Putnam, I believe she wanted to side with the suspense side more.

With Cara Putnam's Beyon I enjoy a good romantic suspense that is different and doesn't read like every other one out there. I have read plenty of romantic suspense to know that the story can be taken two different ways. I have seen some authors who rely highly on the romance side, whereas, I have read some authors who rely heavy on the suspense side. So it depends on that author and what they want more in their story. As for Cara Putnam, I believe she wanted to side with the suspense side more.

With Cara Putnam's Beyond Justice, she didn't rely on the typical hero and heroine professions of law enforcement. Instead, she took a lawyer and a Senator's son, who creates political cartoons. It was refreshing to see something else, and I believe Putnam did a good job at creating these two characters. Both of these characters really didn't change or have a dark moment that I had to see them work through. As for the legal profession of Hayden, Putnam uses her own knowledge of the courtroom, which shined in her heroine. Hayden is a strong, confident woman who knows what she needs to win this case, and she will stop at nothing to seek justice for her clients.

Majority of the story focused on allowing Hayden to solve the case she was handed by her boss. A dead Mexican son as he crossed into America. The Mexican drug cartel stories have been overdone and usually have the same predictable ending. Putnam did not. She took a different route and showed how far the drug cartel can reach into our American culture. It made me shiver as I thought of how it could reach to my small town. Putnam does include the typical putting the heroine's live in danger with someone chasing her and getting closer as Hayden grew closer and closer to the truth. But . . . there were moments where the story slowed down a lot. Many conversations showing Hayden's thought process that I felt could have been peeled back a little.

Being a romantic suspense novel, I expected some type of romance between the hero and heroine, but Putnam uses the romance as a side note, really a glimpse among the suspense. Not demanding the complete plot. What romance happens on the pages, I think, should be deleted because the romantic ending doesn't really match the romance in the rest of the story.

On a final note, I did enjoy the story and believe that fans of Lynette Eason, Irene Hannon, and Brandilyn Collins will enjoy Beyond Justice. I think the audience to read Beyond Justice should be mature enough to handle the information presented. I wouldn't want to scare some kids into thinking that this happens around them all the time.

I received a complimentary copy of Cara Putnam's Beyond Justice from Thomas Nelson Publishing, and the opinions stated are all my own. ...more
