alangmaack 's review for:

Deadly Proof by Rachel Dylan
4.0

Deadly Proof, the first in the Atlanta Justice series of legal thrillers, tells the story of Kate Sullivan takes on a big pharmaceutical company accused of creating a drug that caused brain tumors for those who took it. As Kate seeks justice for her clients, she encounters some frightening experiences, including murder. Because of this, Kate hires private investigator Landon James, who has a past of his own. As Landon works to keep Kate safe, he must face the trauma from his past in order to move forward with his life. 

A Great Vacation Read!

I was a little bit nervous picking up this book because as much as I love true crime, mysteries and suspense novels, often the legal side of things goes over my head. But I was pleasantly surprised with Dylan's writing! The legal aspects of this case were very accessible. I learned new pieces of the legal process, and understood the point of them without feeling like I was being spoon-fed a definition just so Dylan could use legal terms. 

I was halfway through Deadly Proof when we went on vacation, so I grabbed it knowing I'd have some time to read thanks to nap time. I read the last 130 or so pages in one sitting because I wanted to know the ending! I even handed it over to my mom to finish the last 3 days of our trip, and she finished almost the entire book before we parted ways. (And yes, I let her keep it to finish! ;)) 

Deadly Proof was a great read and I'm looking forward to the next installment in this series.

I received a copy of this book from Bethany House. This review is my own, honest opinion.
