Kendall Harris never thought this would be his last 4th of July he’d celebrate with his daughter. San Diego Homicide Detective Scarlett Fry is called to a home in the middle of the night on 4th of July. What awaits her is a brutal killing that causes everyone to be a suspect, but something doesn’t seem right. With a lot of motive and little evidence, Scarlett is up against one of the most twisted killers in her career. She and her partner, Trey Carr, spend weeks tracking down evidence to convict a killer that they are convinced is right in front of their faces. Just when it seems like Scarlett has found her “man” the case takes a turn for the worst and becomes a cold case. When her main suspect ends up dead, Scarlett and Carr are confused more than ever. They must hunt down a serial killer that’s attacking families with a motive even Scarlett can’t understand. Murder for Justice is the first book in a page turning series that introduces readers to a fiery, red head detective that will stop at nothing to protect and serve her city.

A Law & Order Episode!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

I really enjoyed this suspenseful mystery. It's filled with surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There'a a serial killer on the loose, and Detective Fry, an Carr must find them before the killer continues to serve justice their own way. There were a few areas in the book where I got confuse on what was going on. but it didn't take the enjoyment from my reading. This story reads like an Law and Order episode. . If you're a fan of Law and Order and mysteries. you'll love this book. I', looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Motive for Murder

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018

I came across the posting of this book on IG and figured I would give it a try and boy was I pleasantly surprised!! A real crime mystery/Drama with string of strong well developed characters! Folks if you are a crime mystery/drama fan, I recommend that you try this book out because you will not put it down!

Detective Fry is called on the scene of murders that that seem to have one thing in common and that one thing connects what could be seen as purposeful committed by one person or random acts, committed by a copycat. Which one is it? Are they connected and the work of a serial killer or are they the acts of a copycat intent on manipulating you to believe that they are all connected to the first murder and what are the motives.

Join Detective Fry and her partner as they leave no stone unturned in solving what turns out to be multiple murders. Everyone is a suspect until some suspects wind up meeting the same fate of the crime they are being investigated for. The final twist and revelation is one that would shake the most seasoned detective as they solve this puzzle and seek out a subject that blows the case wide open, leaving many questions that are finally answered.

I’ve never read anything by this author but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have moved on to book 2. This right here is my kind of writing. Great job!

A good premise brought low by mediocre writing

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

The premise – a husband and wife involved in a nasty divorce are murdered weeks apart followed by several other murders – was interesting and had the potential to be a great story.

The writing however was very simplistic in style and content with many declarative sentences, reading like a book geared toward tween readers instead of adults. In places the narrative was jerky – as if a sentence was added during an edit but without any attempt to integrate it into the flow of the narrative.

There are multiple places where dialog tags were needed to make clear who was speaking. This stopped the flow of the story while I figured out who said it. Some places I had to re-read the section more than once to sort it out.

There was a lack of continuity in places – people walked into rooms then walked into them again 2 paragraphs later. They also magically appeared in rooms without entering them. Teletransportation maybe?

On page Pg. 21: Watson had mustang instead of Mustang, not once but twice in the same paragraph. But she got Durango right in the same paragraph. I don’t know if that was sloppiness on Watson’s part or a lack of copy editing – something that seems all too common of late in books.

Watson also got some police procedural things wrong, like saying it was hard for her characters to get a search warrant because they didn’t have a motive for the murders. A motive isn’t required for a search warrant, only probable cause that the area to be searched will contain evidence relevant to the crime being investigated.

The minute Watson brought the guilty party on-stage, I knew this person had done it, killing any tension in the rest of the book.

There was one plus: Most of Watson's characters had real-world type lives with husbands and wives and parents.

The end result was a book not bad enough merit a 1-star (hated it) rating, but not good enough to earn a 2-star (just okay) rating, it really only deserved 1½ stars – big disappointment. I will not be back for another Dominique Watson book.

Mystery isnt my favorite genre. I have to applaud the author for weaving a tale that kept me turning pages. If you haven't read a title by Dominique Watson and you want a taste of her talent...start here!

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016

I had never read a book by this author and let me tell you, she did not disappoint!!! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I love mystery and suspense books but its hard to come across one. Man... This book was very well written. There were many plot twists and turns! When you think you knew what was going to happen, something else happened! You are able to follow along and it had you playing detective. I loved all of the characters in the book and I love how the author had all of the characters mesh well. There wasn't one character in the book who makes you feel like you didn't belong. I cannot wait until I read more of the Scarlett Fry series and I will definitely read more books from this author.

This well written book will have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation of the next page. I was on an emotional roller coaster because who I thought was the killer really wasn't. You have to purchase this book and any other by the author. Truly dedicated to her gifting.

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016

Another great one! Beautifully written. I love Detective Fry. She's so real, like I could sense her thinking and personality. I love a book that I can be an active part of. It made me feel like I was watching a movie.
