Review of Time for Justice

Post by Amy Luman »

[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Time for Justice" by Susan C Muller.]

5 out of 5 stars

Fiona has brightly colored hair and lives in her Volkswagon bus. Tom is a successful attorney and lives in an expensive suburb of Houston. Fiona is young and ready to get ahead in life. Tom is nearing sixty and questioning many of his choices. Fiona had been in foster care most of her life. Tom had lived with at least one parent until he went to college. What could these two possibly have in common? Read Time for Justice by Susan C. Muller to find out.

Erin Wright was spending the next several days with her mother, who was having her hip replaced. Erin also had a lot of thinking to do and decisions to make. She never dreamed that she would be murdered in her sleep. The main suspect had always been Kirby, Erin’s husband, who always seemed to be short of money and would rob Peter to pay Paul for it. Erin’s sister, Laney Buchman, wanted to prove his guilt beyond any doubt.

Marcie Meyers was a five-year-old girl who went missing 35 years ago. Not much work had been done on the case, then or now. The young girl’s parents had never pursued it. They were satisfied with the answers that they were given at the time, even though their lives and those of their son were never the same. Marcie’s mother has just discovered that she is dying and now wants definitive answers to her questions.

I’ve become very attached to Fiona and Tom while reading this book. They have plenty of problems (the same man is attacking them separately, out of nowhere, for instance), but they don’t let setbacks keep them from investigating and asking the hard questions. I admire the amount of research that Ms. Muller had to do when writing this novel. Anything having to do with the complicated legal system in America cannot be common knowledge.

This is the third book in the “Time for Murder” series. It didn’t feel like part of a series. In fact, I forgot that it was while I was reading. I am sure that if I had read the other two books, I would have seen some references to the characters or had a deeper understanding of some of them. As it was, Ms. Muller did an excellent job of engaging the reader and not leaving them feeling left out of the action. I suppose that if you had read the previous two books, there would have been repetition regarding the main characters lives. I’m going to find the prequels.

The only thing that I found while reading that I even slightly disliked was the scene depicting a skinny dog. The dog wasn’t even a substantial character. The scene wasn’t long and was eclipsed by the next one anyway, so it wasn't a big problem.

I rate this novel 5 out of 5 stars. There were no errors in the entire book, so I will state that it has been extremely well edited by a professional. There was also very little profanity. I think that anyone who likes mysteries will enjoy this novel. There is no reason to only recommend this to adults. The only reason to do so would be a low level of interest among younger readers. In my opinion, this was an excellent book.

Your mention of the book's flawless grammar and well-thought-out arrangement is a key aspect of any good book. As someone who is easily distracted by grammatical errors and poor organization, I am pleased to hear that this book is up to par in those areas. It shows that the author and publisher took the time to ensure a high-quality product.

I do quite enjoy mysteries, so this book, and possibly the whole series, sounds like something I would quite enjoy.

Fiona and Tom are such complex and interesting characters. The legal system can be so complicated and Ms. Muller did an amazing job with the research. I highly recommend this book.
