   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  JaxlynLeigh | Jun 23, 2022 |   The trial for Nicky Rossi is about to start, and Assistant District Attorney David Tanner is prosecuting. This puts crime reporter, Julia Gooden, in between a rock and a hard place because she's been assigned to cover the trial. Her bosses want her to use all the sources at her disposal, meaning David, while David is telling her he can’t reveal any inside information to his wife. All bets are off, though, when an explosion rocks the courthouse, injuring David and killing a key witness. Now Julia is teaming up with her old friend, Detective Raymond Navarro, to find out to solve the crime. Along the way, Julia discovers a lightly woven web of revenge, lies, and corruption, some of which is painfully personal… This is another solid installment in this series. I like the crime drama tone, which gives the story a richer texture. My impressions from the first book were validated, but I never expected things to turn out the way they did. These developments will change the course of the series, so I’m curious to see how things will progress from here. The only thing lacking in this installment was the emotional pull that was so strong in book one. That said, the thread featuring the disappearance of Julia’s brother, promises to heat up in future installments, which is a strong incentive to get started on book three sooner, rather than later! Overall, this was an absorbing, twist-y piece of crime fiction. I’m very interested in seeing how the series will progress from here!! (  ) gpangel | Jun 20, 2021 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This is the second in the Julia Gooden series. I did not read her debut, The Last Time She Saw Him, but this one could stand on its own. If you like murder mysteries, hot reporters, mayhem with a few twists and turns, then this easy read is right up your alley. I received this book from LibraryThing Giveaway. Thank You! 3.2 stars (  ) Dannadee | Feb 25, 2018 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. The Jane Haseldine novel, “Duplicity,” centers on Julia Gooden whose life now and in the past is surrounded by crime stories. While the main character is fully drawn, the crime stories take center stage. The characters are used at the behest of telling the detailed and gripping story. This one takes about 30 pages to be drawn in but it is worth the ride.I received my book from a LibraryThing Giveaway. This review is available on Amazon, Goodreads, and my blog where I compare it to a similar Heather Graham novel at https://incidentalreviewsblog.com/2018/01/27/two-women-centered-crime-novels-two... ( ) SerendipityMarie | Jan 28, 2018 | The author's background of being a reporter was very useful. It showed in Julia. Ms. Haseldine shaped Julia into a character with great depth. Fans of crime mystery novels will enjoy this book. Yes, the bodies do stack up but nothing gruesome. Additionally, the tone of the storyline was good as it did not stall and kept moving. I can't wait to see more of Julia in action. ( ) Cherylk | Jun 24, 2017 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:In Jane Haseldine's new novel of riveting suspense, Detroit newspaper reporter Julia Gooden is up against the city's most devious criminal??and her own painful past. Julia Gooden knows how to juggle different lives. A successful crime reporter, she covers the grittiest stories in the city while raising her two young boys in the suburbs. But beneath that accomplished façade is another Julia, still consumed by a tragedy that unfolded thirty years ago when her nine-year-old brother disappeared without a trace. Julia's marriage, too, is a balancing act, as she tries to rekindle her relationship with her husband, Assistant District Attorney David Tanner, while maintaining professional boundaries. David is about to bring Nick Rossi to trial for crimes that include drug trafficking, illegal gambling, and bribery. But the story becomes much more urgent when a courthouse bomb claims several victims??including the prosecution's key witness??and leaves David critically injured. Though Julia is certain that Rossi orchestrated the attack, the case against him is collapsing, and his power and connections run high and wide. With the help of Detective Raymond Navarro of the Detroit PD, she starts following a trail of blackmail, payback, and political ambition, little imagining where it will lead. Julia has risked her career before, but this time innocent lives??including her children's??hang in the balance, and justice may come too late to save what truly matters...
