Code of Justice

Author Liz Johnson offered to send me her new book Code of Justice to review, and anticipating I would read the book while sitting for hours on end in the jury pool, I was beyond excited to read and review the story (I ended up reading the entire book before I even got to the jury pool).

Code of Justice is a 'love-inspired suspense' novel which follows FBI Agent Heather Sloan as she tries to solve the mystery surrounding her sister's death involving a helicopter crash.  Heather survived the crash, and her sister's final words shake Heather to the core; when Sheriff's deputy Jeremy is assigned to the case, Heather convinces him they should work together on the case and together they begin to put together the pieces of her sister's death.

The book held my interest, but probably the most memorable moment of the book was when I finished a particular chapter ending with the words, "YOUR DEAD."  Of course, being the grammar freak I am, I immediately thought, "What?!?  You're telling me the author, the editor, the publisher, the random person in the building where the book was printed- all of them didn't notice that glaring error?"  I almost book the book down at that point (lame, I know), but I decided to continue onto the next page, and there my hope was restored.  One of the characters made a comment alluding to the poor spelling and grammar!  Instantly, the character was endeared to my heart more than any other; it's like the author had a private joke with the ridiculous readers (like myself) who notice grammar and spelling issues. 

This book is a good little read if you need a break from your long day.  It doesn't require the brainwave activity like Tolstoy or Dickens does, but it is fun just for pure escapism... and there are definitely some suspenseful moments- so don't read at night when you're alone!  Don't forget to check out the author's website too!
