Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. This week, I’m sharing the first line from my current read, BY REASON OF INSANITY by Randy Singer. Far from being a new release, this book is over ten years old, but it’s a cracking read. I absolutely love legal suspense, and this one has me hook, line, and sinker. And I’m going back to it right now so I can finish it! Anyone else read it?
About the Book
After a series of kidnappings and murders in Virginia Beach, newspaper reporter Catherine O’Rourke experiences disturbing dreams that detail each crime. In an effort to aid the investigation, she shares them with her confidential source—a detective working on the case. Catherine’s intimate knowledge of the crimes immediately makes her a prime suspect. When scientific evidence corroborates her guilt, she’s arrested and charged with murder. As she begins to doubt her own innocence, Catherine turns to Las Vegas lawyer Quinn Newberg, a high-priced specialist in the insanity defense. Quinn believes in justice, Vegas-style. But he doesn’t believe in the supernatural, or that Catherine’s dreams are anything other than the result of a fractured personality disorder. Who can understand the human mind? Quinn knows that insanity cases are unpredictable, but nothing had prepared him for this! To win, or even survive, Quinn will need more than his famed legal maneuvering and biting skepticism. On this case, he needs a miracle.

I’m currently reading The Light at Wyndcliff by Sarah E. Ladd. I’m liking it so far.
