I would have to agree to a point. It is obvious that, like Grisham, she knows her legal stuff and knows how to write a great novel. In the past, I have gotten bogged down by the abundance of legal details in Grisham&#8217;s novels. Putman, however, seems to instinctively know just how much detail the reader actually needs to understand the process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Beyond Justice&#8221; covers a subject that is all too common in today&#8217;s United States &#8211; illegal immigration. The story covers a side of it we rarely hear about and it raises some very important questions as well as some possible answers. Beyond that, it is a very good story with lots of action, danger, and suspense plus a side of romance. Attorney Hayden&#8217;s roommate Emilie seems to be trying to match her up with her handsome cousin Andrew but Hayden is too focused on her career to be interested in romance. When assigned a new wrongful death case that becomes more puzzling by the minute, Hayden learns that Andrew is also connected to the case through another angle. As they are drawn together to try to solve the mysteries stirred up by the case, both Hayden, Emilie, and Andrew face danger and possibly even death. Only their faith might be able to save them.<\/p>\n<p>What an excellent book! An intelligent, well-paced plot and strong characters made the minutes fly by for me as I read well into the night. I did not want to stop! I look forward to the next book in the series,&#8221;Imperfect Justice&#8221;. December seems very far away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that was provided by Amazon Vine.

It\u2019s why she became an attorney and why she\u2019s so driven in her career. When she\u2019s assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn\u2019t sure if it\u2019s the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership\u2014or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.<\/p>\n<p>Further complicating matters is Andrew, her roommate\u2019s distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew\u2019s father is a Congressman, and Hayden\u2019s currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?<\/p>\n<p>The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case\u2014or her. Logic and self-preservation would indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mbt-book-about-author-desc\">\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-21780\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Cara-Putman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Cara-Putman.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Cara-Putman-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Cara-Putman-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Cara C.
