Shadows of Doubt (A Crawford Mystery) by Merissa Racine – Review by Beverly Finnie

Shadows of Doubt by Merissa Racine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m going to start with saying I loved it! Though I did have one minor grievance. Merissa Racine’s follow-up to Silent Gavel, Shadows of Doubt, was fantastic! I’m obsessed! I need more and I really hope the author intends on keeping the Crawford Mysteries going!
So to address my minor grievance, I was really disappointed that when the book started Lauren and Sam weren’t dating. Just having awkward conversations attempting to be friends. However I was happy with the direction the author took their dynamic to the end of the book. In regards to characters, I actually like the dynamic between Lauren and her ex-husband, the now Honorable Judge Anthony Jenkins.
Lauren subbing in for Tony’s court stenographer, while she’s on maternity leave, is there for Tony’s murder trail as a judge. The murder the Chief of police’s mother. It’s intriguing reading a book like this from a different point of view. I think that’s why I love it so much!
I really really hope Merissa Racine has more stories to tell, through these characters she created. Besides the fact I need more Lauren and Sam in my life as a sidebar to the story.
