Review:
"A Time For Justice" by Freya Atwood
My Assessment:
'A Time for Justice' was another excellent read that this author presents. We find that lawyer Zoe Caine got a visit from Rosamund Verity wanted Zoe to take her case against Solemn Acres for abuse, a re-hab facility for the mentally ill. The strange thing about this was that Zoe had once been in this facility, under another name, where she didn't remember much from her time there and was left with some horrible dreams from the incident. When Rosamund is attacked and ends up in a coma, Zoe decides to look into the case because too much was going on...like a fire from the Solemn Acres facility, Rosamund in a coma, and her job asking her to stop investigating over this incident. Along with all of that, Zoe's brother David was having a few problems of his own, and naturally, Zoe was there to help if she could. A long history goes with this Zoe's family, starting with their mom's death, and the father was nothing but an alcoholic that abused his children. This is why Zoe was in [Midhard Institute] now called Solemn Acres facility...her father had her placed there for no definite reason other than he was a horrible abusive person, especially toward Zoe.
As the story moves on, we find Zoe and her assistant Hadijah working hard on the Solemn Acres facility case. Will Zoe be able to find the evidence she 'needs to prove that the patient abuse did happen and be able to bring this former doctor and his staff to justice?' Again, I will say that the judge, lawyers, and courtroom drama will keep your attention following this story. Be ready for lots of entwinement that will go on in this suspenseful legal thriller courtroom drama.
Well, you will have to pick up "A Time For Justice" to see how this author brings it all out to the reader especially providing us with an extended epilogue that lets the reader understand a little more of what all Zoe had gone through with her father and her finally taking a stand to do something that would make her life somewhat better.
