States of Grace (Grace Locke Mystery Series) by Mandy Miller – Review by: Jennifer Bartholomae

States of Grace by Mandy Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This debut novel is so thoughtfully written that it’s hard to believe it’s a debut! From the beginning the other beings forth a plot that leads with and intelligence not often seen in debut books. The plot picks up speed from the first pages of the book and never lets up. The author’s plot line examines the twists and turns of the modern addiction crisis while also digging deep into the somewhat twisted legal system. Her characters are very complex and carry a true depth to them. I was delighted that a female war vet was used as the main character. Our females vets fight right along side our men and yet never get the deserved appreciation. It was an interesting and quick read.
