The Justice by Angela Hunt

The storyline of this book was intriguing. A woman president and a past she wanted to keep hidden. How far was she willing to go to keep her secrets?

Hunt does a great job in setting up the characters. You felt empathy for the main characters even though their actions were less then honorable. This book included adultery and the elusive search for love that can only be filled by God. Hunt was successful in showing that even power at the highest level cannot fill the soul. Hunt made a determined effort to show how a person's life can be changed when confronted with the christian God of love and forgiveness. The characters actions changed as a result of the their new beliefs.

I was again not very happy with the seemingly abrupt ending. All the loose ends just came together. She introduces a racist character that is not fully developed and seems to just be thrown in for convenience. I think that the story would have been better without that tangent and side story.

Overall, a good read with a couple of twists. Happy reading!
