Editorial Reviews

B. Raternick
Besides being an exciting legal thriller with twists and turns that keep you guessing, the story explores the relationship between two sisters who struggle with their ability to trust each other. Rebecca Forster fills her writing with vivid imagery and fully realized characters that come to life and give the reader the feeling of actually 'being there'. Add to this the idea that the villain actually lives up to the book's title of being Beyond Malice and you have a page-turner you won't be able
Elly Sparks
There were times I felt like I was reading Lisa Scottoline and other times I felt I was reading Grisham - so if Lisa and John got together and had a baby, Rebecca Forster would be their literary child!

Enjoyable book. Great author. This is the third I've read by her and I plan to read as many as I can.
V. Lynch
This book started out good, and just got better as I read it. About half way through it I could not put it down until I finished it. The relationship between Amanda and Mark is so honest, at one point I wanted to reach through the book and slap Mark for Amanda. But then the next morning his gift for her melted my heart. I highly recommend this book. It will keep you wondering who did it, and rooting for Amanda to succeed.

    Legal thriller with exciting twists and turns

    What happens when two sisters, who are as different as night and day - complete opposites who don't share the same values, get caught up in a murder trial? In Beyond Malice, hard working, down--to-earth attorney Amanda Cross takes on the case of Nora Royce, her younger, more beautiful and privileged sister. Besides being an exciting legal thriller with twists and turns that keep you guessing, the story explores the relationship between two sisters who struggle with their ability to trust each other. Rebecca Forster fills her writing with vivid imagery and fully realized characters that come to life and give the reader the feeling of actually 'being there'. Add to this the idea that the villain actually lives up to the book's title of being Beyond Malice and you have a page-turner you won't be able to put down.

    You have to check it out!

    I haven't read a Rebecca Forster book that I didn't like! She is a truly great author. Her legal thrillers are just that and more. Her characters are 3 dimensional "people" that you grow to care a great deal about and actually want to meet!

    This is not one of Rebecca Forester's best book. The characters are a bit inbeliveable. Amanda the sister of the accused takes on the high profile criminal case in a one person show. The lawyers and their trophy wives are so focused on wealth and a materialistic life that they don't seem to know what happiness is. You almost feel sorry for them. Amanda's character, to me, was not that likeable, too egotistical. The killers identity was a complete surprise, because there were so many characters you could point your finger at. All in all, this was an entertaining read.
