Sometimes I get into a rut with my reading. I do like several different genres,
mysteries, some adventure stories, some dramas, contemporary fiction,
historical fiction…it seems like mostly what I’ve been reading lately has been
kind of fluff fiction—and honestly, my life is so busy and dramatic with 3
teenagers (hahahaha!!) that fluff fiction is appreciated J J . This book, Fatal Trust, was different than
what I’ve been reading, and I appreciated that!
SO what kind of a book is this? I guess I’d say a legal drama, a bit of a
mystery, a suspense novel. Kind of
mob-like. Kind of tense. Definitely interesting!
In Fatal Trust,
Ian is a new-ish lawyer who is struggling to keep his deceased father’s legal practice
going while taking care of his mother who is slipping into Alzheimer’s. He is plagued with financial difficulties and
just when he appears to have no hope, he receives an offer he cannot
refuse. It seems too good to be true,
but his father initiated it many many years ago, so he jumps on board. As things that seem to be too good often turn
out to be otherwise, so does his situation.
Ian is plunged into a family trust with stipulations for disbursement
that he is to untangle. Upon looking
into these, he finds his own family mixed up in the matter, possibly
criminally, as well as associating with other shady types.
You’ll have to read the book to find out more…it’s a story I
don’t want to give away!
I would definitely recommend this book. It’s a suspense story that will keep you
guessing as you see parts unfolding. I
really liked it and my husband is looking forward to reading it next! It’s not a quick read, you have to think a
bit while you are reading it, but it is good!
It’s published by a Christian company (Bethany House), and while there
are not really overt Christian messages, there is definitely a lack of
profanity and other elements that you may find distasteful in many suspense
stories.
