- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2012I've never written a book review before due to one simple reason, I've never felt enough compulsion to do so. I read approx 30-35 novels per year and although many of them are very excellent, this novel by Joshua Graham completely took me to levels and areas that I never expected any book to do. Maybe it's because the story wasn't what I expected but more than likely I'd have to say that the story is so brilliantly written and laid out that the number of surprises, twists and turns, etc. was a huge welcome to me, especially when i feel that i am fairly good at figuring out how and where a author is trying to take his readers.
Not only did this book surprise me over and over again as well as being a top notch "mystery" book but there was another aspect that I hesitate to mention much detail about as I don't want to ruin it for anyone reading this review. Instead of going into details I'll simply put it this way...MORE-SO then ANY OTHER BOOK I'VE EVER READ, this book caused me to look at many things that I hold important to be looked at it in a much BETTER light. I is my OPINION that anyone that reads this book will be a much better/happier person for doing so. This story and author affected me in such a positive way, (please keep in mind that i was a very happy person prior to reading this book), that my previous happiness seems to pale in comparison to how this story stirred something within me that i thought had simply disappeared as I've aged, for the record I am in my mid-forties. I don't expect everyone to have the same reaction to this book that I had as we each have our backgrounds, strengths & weaknesses which I believe all play a role in how each of us reacts to things, (especially something as varied as someone's OPINIONS), however, if any reader even gets or feels a hint of what I felt after reading this book then they will know exactly what I'm speaking about.
I have not read any of Joshua Graham's other works but intend to do so very soon solely due to how much I enjoyed, BEYOND JUSTICE.
My only concern is that i cannot imagine that any other book will cause a "stir" in me the way BEYOND JUSTICE has, but thats a risk definitely worth taking. After all, regardless of whether his other works are as good as BEYOND JUSTICE, I'll still always have BEYOND JUSTICE as my new measuring stick for all others to try to measure up to. Thank you, Joshua Graham, for authoring such a wonderful, inspirational, work of art that will forever be considered one of, if not THE best book I've ever read.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024I enjoyed The mystery Love story The salvation And the redemption Of this book.However I was a little disappointed With the ending. It What's a fast read And I would recommend it to friends
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025What a wonderful story of tragic love and forgiveness. An innocent grieving father found guilty of murdering his family. I couldn’t put it down.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2012Frankly, I expected better. The book is well written, I like the characters, and in general it is a good read. BUT. The story itself is almost a laugh. Your entire family is slaughtered, you get canned from work, your friends leave you. All in one day! That has never happened to anybody and it never will. Talk about bad luck. By page 50, you can't think of anything else that can happen to this guy. I was expecting a truck to run him over by page 60.
That his best friend or friends, who know him well, shun him completely because of one false accusation, is not realistic. And it happens on the date that his whole family is killed! What kind of people has he been befriending? My friends would never do that. Neither would I. I know this is fiction, but, c'mon...
This story matter took some of the reality away, but i continued reading to see where it got me. The end was good. I liked it. The end.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015I must say, I haven't read a book like this since "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham. Although this is a work of fiction it could very easily be true to life. I'm not going to disclose any information about the story but I can honestly tell you that it had me so upset at times that I just wanted to put it down and try to forget it. But I couldn't. I was spellbound from the beginning to the very end. I gave this book five stars because it is very well written and delivers a powerful message. Except for some areas that would not seem plausible in real life, this story could easily be nonfiction. And that is "scary".
Quite a few readers gave this book one star for a variety of reasons. Some were legitimate and some were just plain idiotic.
Some said that there were parts of the story that couldn't possibly happen in real life. Hello out there; this is a work of fiction .
Some said this is a book that the author is flaunting religion. I'm not a religious person and I was not offended at all. This particular book with the story line it intoned was perfect for the religious intonation.
Some were upset because they bought this book by mistake, thinking they were getting a "John Grisham" book. I don't think it's fair to rate a book one star because you didn't look who authored it before purchasing it. To blame Amazon or the author is equally ridiculous.
This is a book of fiction. It's an outstanding book that Will test your emotions all the way through.

A very interesting and well woven story. It kept enthralled right to the end. I will certainly read more from this Author, I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put this book down!
Reading this book has opened up my mind and understanding so much as to how complicated life can be. People are not always as they appear to be on the outside. We each need to be loved by a friend and to find forgiveness in our heart for the one who has hurt us or hurt one that we love. So well written- thank you Joshua

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
I bought this by mistake thinking it was a Grisham, and how glad I am as it is excellent .
Characterisation is good, and the plot kept me riveted until the last page. So pleased that I could read it on Kindle, as I wasn't tempted to cheat and go the last page to see how it finished!
A compulsive read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spannend und inspirierend
Nicht allein die schneidende Ungerechtigkeit, die (hoffentlich) am Ende der Gerechtigkeit weichen muss hält einen am Lesen.
Wirklich spannend und herausfordernd ist, dass die Erzählung eine Ebene mit einbezieht, die die meisten Leser als Fantasie abtun werden. Mitten im Buch wird
dem Protagonisten plötzlich Hilfe von unerwarteter Seite zuteil und er beginnt seine Wahrnehmung zu öffnen gegenüber der unsichtbaren Welt. Den meisten Lesern wird es so ergehen, dass Engel der unsichtbaren Welt zugerechnet werden wenn überhaupt die Existenz auch nur in Erwägung gezogen wird.
Joshua Graham fordert mit seinem Buch die Leser heraus, an Engel zu glauben und Gott zu vertrauen...
