“Justice For The Forgotten by R. Weir is a must-read! The writing is engaging and filled with well-crafted dialogue that brings the story and the well-developed characters to life. I loved the mystery and how Weir utilized suspense to great effect, which kept me on the edge of my seat and looking forward to the events of subsequent chapters. This thought-provoking work also got me thinking about the criminal justice system and how sometimes access to justice can be denied. The plot flowed seamlessly, leaving no room for confusion, and the reader will also appreciate the excellent narration, which adds to the overall beauty of this work. This was an amazing read, and I look forward to reading something else by this talented author.”_ Frank Mutuma for Readers’ Favorite
“Justice for the Forgotten is not your average crime novel. While readers witness the investigation and possible conclusions, they also witness the emotions that are always wrapped up in murder cases. The author clearly portrays the heartbreak, desperation, and commitment the family has in getting justice for their child. Donnie Steel is a character that reminds us that we should never forget those who have been placed on the cold case shelves. Steel is also a character that brings hope for readers who may have had a similar experience.
Weir’s Justice for the Forgotten is a thrilling, heart-wrenching page-turner. It is a crime novel with many layers. Readers will note the ease in Weir’s writing style and how easy it is to relate to the characters he presents. Justice for the Forgotten is the first book in a new series by R. Weir, Steel Wheels Cold Mystery, and I look forward to reading his future work.”_ Ashley Hooker for Reader Views
