Review: Damaged

Damaged Damaged by Pamela Callow

Summary: How far are you willing to go to forget your past?
Haunted by the death of her sister, and wounded by her ex-fiance’s accusations, Kate Lange throws herself into her new career at a high-powered law firm.

When the grandmother of a lonely private school student seeks her counsel, Kate thinks it’s just another custody case. Until the teen is brutally murdered. And it isn’t only Kate who wonders if her legal advice led to the girl’s death.

How far are you willing to go to redeem yourself?
Put on notice by Randall Barrett, the firm’s charismatic managing partner, Kate must fight for her career, for her reputation — and for redemption.

Unwilling to live with the damage she has caused, Kate pursues the case on her own and unearths some chilling facts.

Facts that lead straight to the heart of a legal conspiracy. Facts that lead Kate directly into the surgically-skilled hands of the Body Butcher.

My Thoughts: I felt this book had a slow start, but before I knew it I was hooked. I’m not sure when that happened, but I read it in about a day, give or take a few hours. The mystery was intriguing, and I kept wondering how the two seemingly different story lines would come together. Toward the end I started piecing it together a little, but really couldn’t figure it all out on my own. I like that – a LOT. Often books are too easy to figure out, and this one kept me guessing until the very end.

Will I read this again? Possibly. Depends on if the opportunity arises. I was thrilled to see there’s another book in the works that features one of the less-prominent characters. I will most definitely make sure to read that!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

    I may give it a look since you liked it–though murder thrillers aren't usually my speed. :-)

      Are you participating in Crazy Book Tours? There aren’t a lot of us reading it. You probably could get in on that tour.

    Cool I'm next on the tour and can't wait! I like that it's hard to figure out the puzzle :) I have to remember it may start a little slow…
