Dani Trumball, senior attorney with the Help Innocent Prisoners Project (HIPP), takes on a case of a young mother sentenced to death for the arson murder of her three young children in Texas. While fighting the case, she and her family make the move to California where her husband, Doug, has been hired as the Dean of Stanford Law School. The amount of work that Dani along with her investigator Tommy put in to the case is overwhelming, but are they fighting an uphill battle? When an unexpected illness affects her family, how much more can Dani handle? With all of the emotion I felt while reading this book, I was disappointed in the ending. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Be prepared for an emotional ride from Marti Green that shows flaws in a justice system that at times has no ethics nor morals and becomes more stubborn.even when logic and facts are presented time after time.
A most informative and sometimes disturbing. well written story that I can highly recommend.
An independent review thanks to NetGalley

Well written fiction loosely based on a true story. This was a page-Turner for me because the clues kept coming.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book to read and review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

I was very happy to get this new book by Marti Green as I have read all of her other books. This one was just as enjoyable going through the legal process with Dani Trumball. I have always loved Dani's stories and root for her to save innocent lives. This book however, caught me very off guard as the ending was not what I expected for the prisoner nor Dani. Having read all the Dani Trumball books I have found a draw to her and her family.

Over all this is a very good read and well written. All the characters are likable. The only reason I just could not give this a 5 star is I would have liked a different ending and I would have liked more involvement with Tommy, Dani's side kick.

This is the 6th book in the Help Innocent Prisoners Project series and we see Dani and her family settling into their new life in California. It isn't long before Dani is persuaded to take the heartbreaking case of a mother who has been on death row for 20 years accused of setting fire to her home and killing her three young children. While reading this book I found myself going through a wide range of emotions from sympathy and sorrow to rage and frustration. It was a compelling read that I would recommend highly.

Loved the way the legal experts ducked and dived, and came out convicting the right people in the end. The author kept me entertained from begin to the end. Frightening that life can be held so lightly
A brilliant and enthralling read, and can't wait to read more by this author.

Once again the author dips her pen into the defense of those wrongly accused. She does and an excellent job of build empathy for the convicted and the lawyer whose heart is for those serving time for things they didn’t do.

Burning Justice by Marti Green, Green has written a compelling and enthralling book. A woman on death row for killing her children thru arson may be innocent, and the story takes us thru the ups and downs of her life and case as well as those of her innocence lawyer.
