"The third entry in Kit Karson’s Anderson Chronicles, Justice Rendered is filled to the brim with the charming detail of small-town life slightly off the beaten path in ranching country ... compelling as both a charming portrait of Anderson, Montana, but also a reasonably down-to-earth procedural ... Kit Karson’s Justice Rendered is brisk and fun, with just enough twists to stay fresh to the end." – Dan Accardi for IndieReader

"Kit Karson has written a mystery that not only entertains but also draws a picture of what small-town America looks like. The author examines the lengths to which adult children must go to have the funds to care for their parents, and especially how this can put them in a situation where unscrupulous men take advantage of them. The author also shines a spotlight on the effects of addiction, both substance and gambling addiction. In addition to the concept of knowing the people in your town, so many people have a public face that does not reflect what happens behind closed doors. Another theme touched on is domestic violence and the effect it has on survivors. Ultimately, Justice Rendered is a title that can be applied to many levels and aspects of the story." – Delene Vrey for Readers’ Favorite

"This whodunnit will have you hooked, flipping from cover to cover. If you are looking for a mystery murder with a touch of crime and drama, Kit Karson’s Justice Rendered is it. Karson weaves an intriguing plot, featuring a dynamic, fascinating cast. The subtle tone of the storyline and the spell-binding plot twists had me on the edge of my seat. Reading this book felt like playing an enthralling puzzle game, where the more the pieces were fitted into it, the more complex the puzzle became. I was dropped right in the middle of all the action with evocative depictions that brought the small western town of Anderson to life. Karson’s way of depicting the cast’s emotions and the juxtaposing of their complex traits allowed me to connect with them. Although it is the third installment in the Anderson Chronicles, Justice Rendered is a stand-alone read. It is a magnificent piece of work and I loved it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the other books in this exciting mystery series." – Keith Mbuya for Readers’ Favorite

"I enjoyed this book and recommend it to readers who appreciate a good mystery in a small town setting with an earnest team of investigators and an eccentric cast of inhabitants. While the murder victim might not be a sympathetic character that the reader can feel invested in, the author has created an intriguing story with many likeable characters and a town that has heart.  We cheer on the deputies as they struggle through the challenges and life-threatening situations that they face. In the end, we want a win for the team." – Corinne Severn at Reedsy Discovery

"Justice Rendered by Kit Karson has all the elements of a well-written mystery. It was fast-paced and action-packed, and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. It was hard to put this book down because it was such a page-turner. I was kept guessing right up until the very end and I was so eager to see how the story would pan out. The writing style gave life to the small town and its residents, and it was easy to become part of the setting. The characters were original and suited the small town. Each had a backstory that added to the enigma around their secret. The chapters flowed into one another, and the various subplots were expertly woven into the main story. The conclusion took me by surprise; I did not expect it." – Alma Boucher for Readers’ Favorite

"The small-town setting of Stone County is gorgeously depicted, immersing readers in a community rife with secrets and deception that feels realistic and wonderfully intense. Sheriff Peter Elliott's determination to uncover the truth, despite facing numerous obstacles and threats, kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book. I loved his narrative presentation so that we could sit right on his shoulder through every discovery and challenge. There’s a riveting exploration of greed and betrayal as the plot deepens and the underlying motives are exposed, unveiling shocking revelations that kept me guessing until the very end but were also highly satisfying and never felt out of place. Overall, I would certainly recommend Justice Rendered as a captivating read for fans of mystery fiction everywhere, and I can’t wait to read more of Sheriff Elliott’s adventures in the future." – K.C.

"I appreciate the author's skill in building vivid characters and interesting narratives. I've read two of the books in the Anderson Chronicles series. Kit Karson continues to tick all the boxes for the essentials required in a mystery. Although Justice Rendered can be read as a standalone, there are connections between the characters built over the books and it might make sense to start from the top if you want to understand these better. As in the previous books, the narrative is presented from multiple perspectives, enhancing the reader's overall understanding of what is happening. We see new relationships developing or rather old ones rekindling between Peter and Dixie, and new connections forming between Travis and Birdie. The narrative continued at a brisk pace, and I wanted to keep reading to know where the story was going. Unlike the last book in the series, it is the Sheriff’s team that plays a more significant role in solving this mystery, though community dynamics typical of small towns still feature." – Priya Mathew for Readers’ Favorite
