Customer Reviews

I will give you fair warning before you pick up Beyond Justice by Joshua Graham - - the next 24 to 48 hours of your life will be utterly consumed by this book.
I can be an intense, all-inclusive reader but it takes a special book to have my unconditional and unwavering attention from page one to the conclusion. Beyond Justice does just that; it draws you in from the first page and literally does not let go of you or your emotions until the rollercoaster conclusion.
Author Joshua Graham has managed quite a feat in writing a powerfully gripping legal thriller, featuring a brutal serial killer, that includes thought provoking views on faith and divine intervention. Neither the brutality of a merciless killer nor the religious overtones are too graphic or overwhelming to upset readers who generally do not prefer genres of either type. The legal aspects are hit upon hard, most especially dealing with a criminal trial and wrongful conviction. Even knowing that central character Sam Hudson would be convicted and imprisoned, my heart remained in my chest while reading of the trial and the horrors awaiting him in prison.
I was absolutely captivated by Mr. Graham's writing, leaving me with a strong emotional connection to Sam and his adopted family of supporters. I liked Sam, I thought him a realistic and endearing character and more importantly, I cared about Sam. I wanted him free and exonerated and I wanted justice for him. To say Sam's story was mesmerizing would be a gross understatement. Sam's story, told through the able pen of Mr. Graham, is inspiring in every aspect. Sam isn't a believer in God in the beginning of the book and does not become a believer due to the horrors his family is subjected to, nor due to his imprisonment and branding as a "family killer". It's a gradual process in which he truly sees the light.
Was there anything negative about Beyond Justice? I am a very particular reader in certain aspects. Typographical errors make me crazy and I have been known to put a book down due to such errors or inconsistencies not caught by editing. While I did notice typographical errors throughout the book, absolutely nothing short of an act of God or nature would have stopped me from finishing this book. That's how unbelievably powerful and spellbinding this book is. Beyond Justice is not a light read; the story will stay with you long after you finish it.
I would highly recommend this book to any reader looking for a strong and powerful story, period. The legal thriller and spiritual aspects are just icing on top of this very substantial literary cake. Do not hesitate. Rush to get your own copy of Beyond Justice.
(From my blog)

If you like legal thrillers, this book is a must read! Beyond Justice begins with a heart racing pace which grips you and pushes you immediately into the story. And WHAT a STORY! Graham's narrative is intelligent, well researched and highly personal. Unlike many legal thrillers, Beyond Justice takes an unexpected twist as Sam Hudson must deal with the devastating aftermath of the horrors he has experienced. The events leading to the conclusion pose many thoughtful and spiritual questions. The ending was not what I wished for or expected. Instead, it turned into something bigger and more powerful than I imagined. A wonderful first novel for this author, and this reader is looking forward to the next
