Poetic Justice by Lori James

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

PJ_1600x2400Poetic Justice is a murder mystery with a romantic twist. It’s set on a backdrop of characters ranging from a single mom, to high powered attorneys who are sure to draw you into their lives.

When Homicide Detective Mark Stevens receives a phone call to report to a bloody crime scene, he has no idea how his life is about to change. He faces the normal challenges of solving a murder. He also faces the challenge of confronting his past. Mark’s past has closed his heart. He chooses to be alone. When his heart is opened, by an unlikely visitor, he finds himself having feelings for the murder victim’s sister. However, he’s determined to remain professional. Now that he’s found his heart; can love be far behind?

The new, ambitious prosecuting attorney John Martin can’t wait to sink his teeth into his first murder trial. Seemingly lucky for him, a murder victim’s body is found his first day on the job. Not so luckily for him, there’s a tough judge and feisty defense attorney in his future.

Targeted Age Group:: 17+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I’ve always had an interest in true crime and trial watching. When I decided to write a book, I knew it would be a murder mystery.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I knew the types of characters I’d need. There would be a murder victim, a Detective and attorneys, and the victim’s sister. As I was writing. the characters took on a life of their own. The detective had a street cop buddy. The sister had a four year old son. Each character had a family. They all could be seen and heard in my head, as I wrote.

Author Bio:
Lori loves animals, music, movies, and all things to do with the law.
She became a trial watcher even before CourTv. She still follows trials.
For her novel Poetic Justice, the Mystery/Legal Suspense genres seemed to be a perfect fit.

Her love for animals has been a constant throughout her life. She currently lives in New England with her two cats. Inspired by a recent documentary, she has become a voice for orca in captivity.

Note from the author: As I was writing Poetic Justice, my characters took on a life of their own. Their hearts led me to that touch of romance.
I looked forward to visiting my characters each time I wrote. I hope you enjoy visiting with them, too.
