“Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders” by Robert Thornhill is number ten (10) in his comedy/mystery series of “Lady Justice” tales. In an unusual merger, Robert Thornhill combines the genres of comedy and mystery, and he does it well. It doesn’t seem very realistic to expect a successful and entertaining story to result when one mixes comedy with a topic as serious as serial murder. Robert Thornhill’s successful series has knocked that mistaken assumption right out of the ballpark. Not only does he insert a healthy dose of very good humor into this story, but he also manages to keep the serial killer parts of the story appropriately serious. There is nothing funny about serial killers, and Thornhill respects that fact. At the same time, humorous happenstance is a very real part of life, and Thornhill uses that to his very talented advantage.
Robert Thornhill has found his niche. His series of “Lady Justice” stories are almost surprisingly entertaining. The main characters, who appear in most of his episodes, are very realistically developed, and it is not at all hard to believe they are based on real people the author personally knows and frequently deals with. There are a few minor innuendos, as would be expected from characters such as he has developed, but overall there is nothing in these books that would prohibit young readers, from sixth grade or younger, from reading this series. I very heartily recommend the “Lady Justice” series and “The Book Club Murders” in particular, for all readers who have a normal, healthy sense of humor, and appreciate a good tale.
