"You've most likely never met a narrator like Bobbi. Tough, tender, funny, full of heart―and a transgender woman―she is navigating not just a new life, but also an unsolved murder that a detective is trying to pin on her. Renee James takes the reader on a whirlwind of a ride, while subtly revealing the honest heartbreaks and successes of the trans community. A welcome, diverse addition to the writing world!"

―Jodi Picoult, New York Times best-selling author

"The comprehensiveness with which Renee James draws you into the world of her characters would be enough reason to read this satisfying novel, but the straightforward elegance and grace of her writing is the real reward."

―S. J. Rozan, award-winning author

"Renee James writes with an acute and deeply sympathetic understanding of the human condition. In her work, readers also find suspenseful, engaging thrillers―writing that both accelerates the heartbeat and maps the heart's mysteries."

―Christine Sneed, award-winning author

"A Kind of Justice crackles with energy right from the beginning. Not only does Renee James eloquently impart empathy for what it's like to be transgender in an uncaring and judgmental world, but she does so while telling an engaging and compelling story populated with richly nuanced characters. Yes, it's a story about justice. But it's deeper than that. It's as deep and complex as family, friendship, love, and―perhaps most importantly―change."

―John DeDakis, mystery-suspense author, writing coach, and former Senior Copy Editor, CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer

"In addition to being a well-written mystery with great character development and a surprise ending, A Kind of Justice focuses on one of the most talked about topics of the day: the transgender community. How can it not be a hit?"

―Windy City Reviews

"...this outing is effective."

―Publishers Weekly
