5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent legal thriller,
This review is from: Seeds of Doubt: A Crime Novel (Hardcover)
Thirty years ago in Vivian, Colorado, four years old Freddie Gant disappeared; his body was ultimately found by a grain elevator. The police deduce that someone shoved him off the top of it. Attention focuses on twelve years old Rachel Boyd, who eventually was arrested and found guilty by a jury. She recently was paroled and lives with her brother Chris, a wealthy banker.
When the six years old son of Chris' gardener vanishes, everyone looks towards Rachel. When his corpse is found near Denver, attention again focuses on Rachel. Besides her history, she was seen with Benjamin the day he disappeared. Chris hires dyslexic lawyer Jackie Flowers to defend his sister. Jackie goes the extra mile when she agrees to allow Rachel to stay in her home as part of the bail stipulation. Jackie, who has spent her life hiding her learning disability from even loved ones, struggles with the defense because Rachel refuses to cooperate by defending herself. Jackie knows the prosecution has circumstantial evidence, but the prosecution's strength lies with the fact that the same MO used in both child murders. Stephanie Kane is part of the Supreme Court of legal thriller writers who readers know always provides dramatic courtroom scenes that bring electrifying realism to her tales. Her current novel, SEEDS OF DOUBT, is complex with multilayers as readers wonder if Rachel is guilty or, if not, what is she hiding and why rather than help make a viable defense. With powerful action and strong characters, the verdict beyond a shadow of a doubt is that Ms. Kane has provided another superb read. Harriet Klausner

Kane's Best Yet!,
By
This review is from: Seeds of Doubt: A Crime Novel (Hardcover)
From the first page you have to know what happens. A 30-year-old crime - the victim so very innocent.
Rachel Boyd has just been paroled after serving 30 years for a crime with a virtually identical MO. She was just a child when the first crime occurred; they called her a bad seed. Her brother, and staunchest supporter, welcomes her home and tries to help her adapt. Then the unthinkable happens. Another crime. Another innocent. Jackie Flowers takes on her most enigmatic client yet. Rachel will not speak of the either crime; will not assist in her own defense. Jackie must investigate the old crime to help build Rachel's defense. The story will sweep you away - the action is tight and keeps the adrenaline pumping. This is Kane's best work yet!

Legal Thriller with Heart,
By
This review is from: Seeds of Doubt: A Crime Novel (Hardcover)
The storyline is sure to keep readers guessing and on the edge of their seats. The narrative is peppered with diary entries, police reports, and new articles, which gives a wonderful extra perspective. Kane manages a wonderful balance of suspense, realistic dialogue, humour, and well-paced revelations.A real strength of the novel is the three strong female characters: Jackie, her investigator Pilar who herself has an interesting past, and Rachel. Jackie's dyslexia is well written and adds an interesting element to both the character and the story. I'd certainly recommend this book. I've already ordered the other books in this series.
