Rating: 5 out of 5

This talented author has the skill to switch genres. Yes, Janelle Taylor is renowned for romance novels that have reached the NY Times Best Seller List (9 times), however, in 'Necessary Evil' she sets aside a portion of her romance touch, not all of it, and takes up a viable cause. A cause most Americans agree with, and one that rakes their nerves like fingers on a blackboard when they see another slimy defense lawyer has coated his 'guilty', rapist/sicko client(for money) with legal ooze, and slipped him through legal loopholes. The victim is left with a ruined, painful life, sometimes despised by family and friends, and possibly a lover or future husband.If you think today's Lady Justice is wearing more than one blindfold over her eyes, and believe today's system is leaning in favor of the culprit, then you might want to read this novel. Yes, it contains a very determined, intelligent, and ruthless vigilante, making Charles Bronson look like a school teacher.Taylor will draw you into this story from page one. Then she holds you as you turn the pages, going through the given selections of whodunit, and prepare to point your mental finger at several...change your mind...until...the well-done revelation.Janelle Taylor uses excellent descriptions, in other words, she puts you in the forefront of the crime scene. The dialogue is realistic. And when she applies her natural touch of romance, WoW! Her characters are clearly defined and believable.Now, the ending...perfect! And the good news is...there is a sequel. Taylor does not drop the readers...no, she leaves them with 'wonder', knowing this story is far from over.I highly recommend this suspense-filled, right-the-wrongs novel for many more reasons than I've listed. The sequel is going on my To Read List. "Thank you, Janelle, for a page-turner that speaks to a huge problem in this country. May we never forget the victims created by these animals. Keep writin'...and smilin'..."LeeCarey-author.com
