A short novella in the Victoria Rodessa legal thriller series. These books remind of early John Grisham books.....with a female lead character. As a high powered lawyer in a prominent legal firm, Victoria has climbed the ladder quickly, leaving many enemies in the dust. In TANGLED VERDICT, Victoria has run a campaign to become a US Senator but her enemies have suddenly set her up in a scandal that could cost her everything she's worked for. Victoria has assembled her own legal team to clear her name but the other side doesn't play well with others. A quick read that filled a gap in between books that will keep her fans happy for a short while.
Tangled Verdict: A Victoria Rodessa Legal Thriller is a fast paced political thriller. Yes, it is only 96 pages, but it starts off quickly and builds in intensity until the conclusion.
Victoria Rodessa is running for office to become a US Senator of Illinois. With just a few days before the voting closes, a scandal is revealed. Victoria and her closest advisors shift into high gear to find the culprit before the she loses the election.
This was a fantastic story. I loved the high drama of the campaign mixed with a scandal, murder, and blackmail. With today's political nastiness it is easy to believe. The writing is strong and easy to follow as it grabs a hold of you right from the beginning.
I was hooked from page one with this fast-paced political thriller. The ending was a nail-biter. I would love to read more about Victoria and her future. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own.
Tangled Verdict is a fast paced political thriller. There is a lot of story in such a short book. I liked it. There is intrigue, a touch of romance, a end of campaign sense of urgency. I like the characters. The last minute crisis adds drama. I confess I stayed up late to finish after starting the book late in the evening. Had to see what happened in the end. Excellent story
I received an ARC through "NetGalley" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This is the first story that I have read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story followed the last few days of a Victoria, a senatorial candidate prior to the election. A news story came out which accused her of tampering with a jury many years ago. It was interesting to see how with little time remaining, they were able to put a team together to learn who planted that false story.
The efforts that everyone performed were well laid out and as time got closer, they narrowed the person down. The ending was well done and filled in open question you might have.
This is definitely worth reading, and I want to read more by this author.
