In treachery, there is no honor...

Implicated in the disappearance of a Supreme Court Justice, and the shooting of a Federal agent, Tameron scrambles to uncover the truth. The problem is, each investigative leads she pursues only results in more questions, and every investigative avenue she takes leads back to her. How can she clear her name?

I'll confess I was thrilled when Dishonored arrived last week ready for me to enjoy. As the "new and improved John Grisham", J.R. Reardon has a talent who giving the reader a glimpse of the needed pieces of her suspenseful legal puzzle while not revealing too much or too little until the time is exact and required.
In Dishonored, Reardon uses her main character(Judge Rebecca Tameron) to take the reader on an exhilarating roller coaster ride with calculated technological twists and diverse legal turns that make the ride (reading her literary art) all the more appealing and unforeseen. Each chapter in Dishonored is filled with its own shot of intrigue jolting the reader along until the last puzzle piece is finally revealed at exactly the right time. Building such a gripping puzzle, as with Dishonored, is exactly what a legal suspense thriller should do... but often does not.
Dishonored is the ideal follow-up to Reardon's other 5-star legal suspense thriller, Confidential Communications. As with the ending of her first legal thriller, Reardon leaves the reader eagerly anticipating the production of her next piece of literary art and in clear hopes that she will continue producing literary feasts for all those who are wise enough to partake of her writings.

Someone has kidnapped Justice McNaught. Not only that, but someone is also stealing people's identities and wracking up their credit cards. The question is who and why. Judge Rebecca Tameron and her family find themselves caught up in this spider web of twists and turns as she tries to piece this puzzle together.
Chapter 1 opened with a great hook. Rebecca finds out McNaught is missing. From there other characters were introduced, and some seemed to be the good guys while others seemed like they had something to hide. There is the envious Jessica who thinks she should have been made the judge instead of Rebecca. Derek, McNaught's son, who has a chip on his shoulder. The online school community members who may or may not be what they appear. I was surprised when I found out who was responsible for the kidnapping and identity theft crimes. It was not who I suspected it would be, so that was a lot of fun. I love to be surprised like that.
I definitely recommend reading this book. The place where McNaught was taken and how it ended were excellent shockers!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is suspenseful, the realtionships are well played out, it was puzzle for my mind to pull together. I really enjoyed this book. Great mystery, it really reminded of the same sense of suspense that you experience reading books such as the Alex Cross series by James Patterson, or the books by David Baldacci and John Gresham. It was really good
