Judge Willa Carson is a tenacious and even stubborn woman, who believes that attractive and successful women are made not born. The series begins with Carson as a Federal Judge who has to face up to a world full of deceit and blackmail, in which she has to employ her bullet proof and free-spirited nature if she is to survive.
The first novel in the series, Due Justice introduces Federal Judge Willa Carson, who is currently embroiled in a high stakes game that threatens to tear her family apart. When a celebrity plastic surgeon turns up dead – his decomposed body found floating in Tampa Bay, Carson’s little sister is the prime suspect.
It seems that her sister Carly Austin had been too close to the murder victim. Could she have information about the killer that would put her in danger? Before Willa can get answers to her questions, her sister goes missing. Willa does not know if Carly needs to be saved from a murderous conspiracy or if her beloved sister is already dead. What follows is a rollercoaster of a narrative full of suspense, humor, and great characters that shows why Diane Capri is one of the best mystery writers around.
