Fast-paced---held my interest to the very end

I enjoyed this book immensely. It moved along at a good pace and really held my interest to the very end. A real whodunit.

I'm waiting breathlessly for a sequel!

Excellent character development and just the right amount of intrigue. A tightly woven spider's nest that seems to keep catching you by surprise, just as you think you have things figured out! The characters were colorful and believable. I sincerely hope Mimi considers a sequeal involving Rebecca & Daniel. Excellent sizzle material for a future book!

Very well done

I could really feel Rebecca's stress and drive. The characters all seemed real and were driven by human nature not by plot necessities as I think is often the case. This is the first time I have read Mim Lair, but will not be the last.

Exceptional-not to be missed

Rebecca Moreland, a senior staff attorney at a local legal clinic, is happily married to Ryan Moreland, a partner in the prestigious law firm of Taylor, Denison, and Evans. They are desperately in love and hoping for a baby. Their future seems even more secure when Brandon Taylor announces his candidacy for the senate and promises to bring his protégé with him to DC when he wins. On the night of a fund raiser at a yacht, Ryan disappears. Two days later, Ryan's body washes ashore. The officials want to declare his death as a suicide because the partners claim that it was soon to be public knowledge that he embezzled company funds. Rebecca knew her spouse would never have killed himself even if he had committed a criminal action which she doubts he did. She thinks he was murdered and intends to prove it even if it means going up against the most powerful people in the state. PURSUIT OF JUSTICE is a very forceful and believable modern day rendition of David (actually Davidette) vs Goliath. The female protagonist is a heroine who is unafraid to battle with foes who could easily crush her if she was not so resourceful and intrepid. Although there is a lot of action and compelling sub-plots, the heart of this mesmerizing tale lies in the character of Rebecca who never loses faith that her beloved spouse never killed himself, let alone committed a criminal action. Mimi Lott, author of the best selling POWERS OF ATTORNEY, shows that she is a real force in the legal thriller sub-genre. Harriet Klausner
