Review: Just Okay... at best
Rating: 3 out of 5

I think this novel is a prime example of why I don't like stories written in first person narrative style.  In "Deadly Justice", while the author seems to want to tell the story in first person, she sometimes switches to third person, jumping frequently, in order to better tell the story.  But in doing so, the author gives me whip-lash and a headache trying to keep everything and every person in the proper order and perspective.Sorry, but while some authors can write in first person narrative without much effort, Kathy Bennett missed with this one.  I hope she continues to write, but I sure hope she gets out of the first person style ...it's just too hard pull off for most writers.It was a good story, a good mystery, as well as a decent character storyline.  But the back-n-forth from first person to third person was too much for me.  I was quite generous in giving it a 3-star, but the low rating was mostly because of the first person/third person confusion.Patrick
