One of the things I've loved about the Justice series--I skipped no pages. I've followed DI Lorne Simpkins from Cruel Justice to Ultimate Justice, and it's been a thrill ride all the way.Starting with the Prologue I knew I had another mystery/thriller on my hands, but the first several chapters had me slightly confused at first. Lorne, now settled in with her new husband, Tony, and father Sam, were trying to build their private investigation business while saving dogs and finding homes for them.  As a dog lover, this endeared Lorne even more to my heart, and I loved this small trip through her personal life. I feel as though I know her already, but seeing her in her home setting with family was in many ways a small treat. I did, however, wonder where that detective I've grown to love went.Then it happened. A news story of a shipwreck, bodies on the beach. A young house maid with swollen eyes and a hidden secret and Lorne was back up and running with her former partner Katy, and a somewhat misguided and unfortunate reporter.M. A. Comley takes us on another thrill ride, right into the dark side of human nature. Lorne, hot on the trail with Katy by her side discovers things that she can't ignore. Which is one of the things I love about her. She rushes in to save the innocent, protect those who can't protect themselves, even at her own peril.Be prepared to  smile, to laugh, and finally to cry. A powerfully moving book from prologue to end.I would rate this book R--for violence and sex. It deals with a subject matter that some find offensive, but is a reality we all must face as it does happen.  If you love a good thrill ride and a strong female character who also isn't afraid to show her softer side and be a wife, mother, daughter and friend, I highly recommend the Justice series.  If you're a former Justice fan, you'll love seeing Pete again, if only for a moment.
