Publisher's summary

A dark shadow of fear has fallen over Newpointe, Louisiana. First one, then another of the town firemen's wives has been murdered, and a third has barely escaped an attempt on her life. Incredible as it seems, a serial killer is stalking this sleepy little southern community. And Mark Branning's wife may be next on the list.

Mark is determined to protect her. But keeping Allie alive won't be easy - not with their own marriage already dying a bitter death. Unless they renew their commitment to each other and to God, someone else may settle their problems. Permanently. And time to decide is running out.

Critic reviews

"This tense and exciting thriller is more than a fabulous read; it has an underlying message about the place of religion within a marriage. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

Suspenseful

It was amazing. My very first audiobook. Loved the characters voices! I enjoyed being able to multi task while still “reading”

enjoyed it

enjoyed the story but the police were not very realistic even for a small town. story line was exciting and I couldn't put it down. Didn't figure it out until close to the end

Good Book, Not So Good Narrator

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, good story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Private Justice?

Finding out who the killer is.

What didn’t you like about J. C. Howe’s performance?

He sounds like he is preaching a Sunday Sermon. Good preaching voice, not so good narrator voice. Not believable.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

NA

Any additional comments?

I most always like the narrator. His voice just did not fit the book.

Read 2nd time and it's just as good as first time.

Just finished reading this for a second time, and it was just as good as the first reading. Recommend t his book, It a good CLEAN book, good suspense and even thought I had read before I didn't remember so much of the book ( Advantage to getting older I guess)

Private Justice

I read all the other books in the new point 911 series 1st because I hadn't heard this 1. I really wanted to find out what happened to Ali to begin with. This is a really good book and and Terry Blackstock is an amazing autyou're an amazing author. I really like the performances as well. No 1 wants to listen to listen to bad voices and these were all wonderful!

Great story of how GOD works in all things

This story has suspense, love, grace and the reminder to have Faith and trust. I am hooked on this author, it is hard for me to stop listening. I do not feel that the narration is as bad as some reviewers stated. He does not speak Cajun like some people I know, but as I told my daughter that is good for me; I would miss some of the words if he spoke it fluently. All other parts of his narration is good. Ready for book 2. Hope you give this book a try!

Never Give Up

loved how God, Jesus and forgiveness were brought into the story giving the reader a chance to see how trusting in God is for real in their daily challenges.

good story

This was a good story and it held my interest. I like Terri Blackstock books.
