Accused

Accused by Janice Cantore was an excellent debut novel.  I look forward to the next book in the Pacific Coast Justice series.  The main character Carly has a lot to deal with.  Recently divorced, a shooting investigation that lands her in juvenile, a "religious" mother, and now a conspiracy all make her bitter and overwhelmed.  When Carly is pulled into a murder investigation only to be shut out and things removed from the computer system, she begins to suspect things are not above board.  Enter the undercover friend Jeff and the mystery deepens.  Trust no one.  As the story takes twists and turns in many unsuspected ways Carly is out to prove she is not a broken cop.  Cantore does a good job of developing Carly's spiritual side in a realistic way.  It will be interesting to see how she develops her character in the next books.  Great read for those liking mystery/cop stories.
