Even if you haven’t yet delved into this authors Justice series, you can easily pick up this novella and have no trouble getting stuck straight in as it reads very well as a stand alone.
Next to children, pensioners are without a doubt the next most vulnerable type of people that can be easy prey to criminals. It made my blood boil reading of the crimes against them in this book. I could feel my emotions rising the further into the story and I was desperate for Lorne and Pete to get this particular case solved quickly.
The story took an unexpected turn which was a good surprise as I was fully expecting it to go one way for the author to then only venture off course. It will certainly mess with your head, giving you food for thought.
Caring For Justice is an unputdownable crime thriller. I read it in one sitting but then that’s nothing new with this authors books as they always hook me making me not want to put them down. Really enjoying these novellas and seeing Lorne and Pete at their best. If you haven’t yet read one of the authors books, then give them a go, you won’t be sorry.

It was lovely having all the original cast members all back together. Lorne and Pete (Chunky) Childs make a terrific team and here they to solve a crime that is despicable but does unfortunately happen in the society we live in today. It’s a subject close to some people’s hearts, mine is one of them and I can relate to the story, especially after hearing about it in the news so often.
A son is looking after his mother. He is struggling with working his long shifts so gets help in for a couple of times a week just to help with bits around the house. One night he pops round and his mum doesn’t seem her usual happy self. She says she must be spending more than she thinks she has, hasn’t got much left. Then he notices a bruise on her arm. He thinks for a second, then decides he has time to pops to curry’s to get what he needs, hopefully to see what is going on.
Lorne and Pete get a call to attend a home of an elderly man that appears to have beaten to death. Both his legs have been broken along with his arm. It’s heartbreaking. Who would do such a thing? Did he have any enemies? Had he been broken into? They start their enquiries by talking to the neighbours.
This is a great novella and a very important has been tackled as unfortunately this happening in our communities. Some care staff are brilliant as its a very demanding job, there is just a bad few who sully the industry. The book tries to highlight the bad side of the industry which it has done well in my opinion. I love the way it’s so easy to read, the writing flows and the characters really gel together. The story is believable as this is how it could happen. Absolutely loved it!
