Description
The police say Kaylene Adams was a murderer—but Emilie Wesley will stop at nothing to clear her client’s name and protect the innocent daughter Kaylene left behind.
To the world it seems obvious: Kaylene Adams killed her daughter before taking her own life. Attorney Emilie Wesley knows a different story: Kaylene would never hurt anyone and was looking for a way out of a controlling, abusive relationship. Her death shakes Emilie’s belief that she can make a difference for women in violent marriages. Self-doubt plagues her as she struggles to continue her work in the wake of the tragedy.
Reid Billings thought he knew his sister—right up until he learned how she died. He discovers a letter from Kaylene begging him to fight for custody of her daughters if anything should happen to her. No attorney in her right mind would support an uncle instead of the father in a custody case, but Kaylene’s letter claims Emilie Wesley will help him.
Thrown together in the race to save Kaylene’s surviving daughter, Emily and Reid pursue the constantly evasive truth. If they can hang on to hope together, can they save a young girl—and find a future for themselves in the process?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept my interest the entire way through and I look forward to reading more by this author. I had not read the first book in this series, yet this book stood on its own. I appreciated the raw fear expressed by the main character, Emilie, as well as her gradual journey to trusting Reid. It also made me stop and think about those women who are in relationships where they are mistreated and abused by their husbands and just how difficult that must be. Overall, I would highly recommend this book and would definitely read other books by this author!

Ms. Putman’s Imperfect Justice was an entertaining, suspense filled book. This was the first book that I have read of hers. I am now going back and reading the first two books in this series. I enjoyed her story. Her main character was Emilie, a lawyer who tries to help those who have trouble helping themselves. Not only was her main characters entertaining, but the reader gets a glimpse of several secondary characters that are primary characters in previous books or looks to be in future books. I cannot wait until the next book comes out to see what occurs next. I highly recommend reading this book! The book has an exciting ending that the reader will not see coming. I will definitely be reading more of her books!
***I was given a free electronic copy of this book from the publisher. This is my honest opinion. Even though I received this copy free, this is my own opinion.

In the second in the Hidden Justice series (you don’t have to read the first one to enjoy this one), author Cara Putman keeps the reader writhing in suspense. Emilie Wesley, advocate and lawyer for Haven, a women’s resource center, has a stalker. At first, she discounts the gifts and notes, but as her search for the truth in a client’s untimely death intensifies, so does her stalker’s tactics. To make matters worse, the local police discount her fears.
Emilie teams with Reid Billings, the brother of her deceased client, Kaylene, to find the truth about the death. Readers will keep turning pages to discover who really killed Kaylene, and the identity of the stalker.
Both Emilie and Reid learn to trust in God as they seek justice for Kaylene’s young daughter and a resolution to Emilie’s stalker problem. Without preaching, Putman helps the reader understand some of the psychology that keeps women in abusive relationships. The fully-developed characters fast-paced plot will keep readers up late at night.

Attorney Emilie Wesley is determined to help Reid Billings find out what happened to his sister and niece. Even as Emilie fights her own personal battles, she is devoting her time and energy to protecting Reid’s surviving niece and discovering the truth. Full of twists and turns, romance and suspense; I highly recommend, Imperfect Justice.
