Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Hound of Justice by Claire O’Dell

This is a book in the Janet Watson Chronicle, a follow up to A Study in Honor.   Janet Watson is a surgeon injured in the war.   She finds herself embroiled in politics due to her friendship with Sara Holmes, an agent so sometime from some part of the government.   Dr. Watson is drawn into the intrigue by her desire to see justice done to a corporation who caused the death of so many soldiers.

O’Dell provides an in-depth character study of Dr. Watson.   Watson suffers from PTSD as well as guilt over what more she should or could of done in the attack that took her arm.   Dr. Watson is also looking for love and struggling to find those she can trust. 
 
The idea of a new Confederacy and a return to wide spread bigotry based on color is repugnant.   Dismayingly the headlines seem to indicate that racial and religious bigotry are alive and disgustingly well in a shockingly large splinter of society.   O’Dell addresses this and foreshadows a future that could be unless our society rejects the messages of hate that have been promulgated lately.


This is an entertaining book that provides serious food for thought. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
