Homespun Justice

Book 3 in the Victoria Justice Mysteries

The third book in the Victoria Justice Mysteries releases October 27, 2026.

Victoria Justice prides herself on the accuracy of her record as a court stenographer. Her ability to write well over 240 words per minute at 98 percent degree accuracy has never been challenged—until the case of Dr. Donna Bordeaux, a university professor charged with waterboarding her daughter as punishment. Having suffered her own water-related trauma as a youth, the details of the event leave Victoria paralyzed in the middle of the proceeding. But without an accurate record, the case gets set for retrial, much to the outrage of the community.

A brawl ensues before the bailiffs can clear the courtroom and several people are hurt—including the waterboarding victim, 15-year-old Sarah Bordeaux, who succumbs to multiple head injuries. Consumed with guilt at the turn of events, Victoria vows to unmask the young girl’s assailant only to find the teen’s death wasn’t an accident and the family’s secrets run deep.

Fans of Knives Out, Law & Order, and Murder, She Wrote will love this killer courtroom cozy with its unexpected twists and turns. Purchase the first book in the series today, and look for Deceptive Justice in paperback and e-book this summer everywhere books are sold.
