Publisher's summary

Someone stands to gain millions of dollars from a hunter’s accidental death . . . unless that death wasn’t an accident.

Matt and Elena Thompson present the picture of perfection. But their enviable life isn’t all it seems. Their marriage is on the rocks, and financial disaster looms. Then Matt is killed in a hunting accident, and the questions and accusations begin to mount.

Attorney Liz Acosta, newly arrived in the mountains of north Georgia after graduating from law school, plans to get some job experience on her resume before returning home to seek a position with a big-time firm. Intellectual pastor Connor Grantham isn’t sure that shepherding a rural congregation is what he ultimately wants to do with his life. Drawn to philosophy, theology, and nature, he’s beginning to feel more at home in north Georgia—especially after he meets the brilliant and energetic Liz.

While Liz and Connor spend more time with each other and discover just how compatible two people from wildly different backgrounds can be, they’re also being drawn into the shadowy world of Matt and Elena Thompson. As the couple’s marriage counselor, Connor finds himself in the middle of their explosive arguments. As Elena’s attorney, Liz is caught in the tailspin created by Matt’s death.

Together, Connor and Liz attempt to solve the mystery of what really happened to Matt. If his death is ruled an accident, then the double indemnity clause in his life insurance would go into effect, essentially doubling the payout. But as Liz sorts through the legal paperwork of who stands to gain an immense sum of money from Matt’s death, Connor is accused of the unthinkable with much more at stake than millions of dollars.

• Contemporary Christian legal drama
• Perfect for fans of John Grisham

Sweet!

As a fan of thrillers/mysteries/police procedurals, and often very intense plots, this book/story was still enjoyable. It read/sounded like a Hallmark holiday movie/story, which I occasionally watch.

Great book!

I enjoyed the book so much, I listened to it a second time. There are always little nuggets along the way I missed the first time.

A Bit Slow

This story in my opinion was a bit slow. One always en noted Robert Whitlows books but this one to me anyway had a hard time getting going. There may have been too many characters for the plot. I didn’t care a lot for the narrator.

Loved it!!!!!!!

Great story with lots of unexpected twists and turns. This author is now on my favorites list!

Great read and spiritualy inspiring

It’s refreshing to read a mystery without bad language, that leaves you feeling good at the end. God is the superhero in the story.

What a great book! I’m not really one to listen to novels about crime, but this one held my attention.

This was an enjoyable read. If you’re OK with a little religion mixed into a good crime novel, then this book is for you. It’s well written, builds faith, has zero profanity, and has enough of a plot arc that it holds your interest the whole time. I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

Truly Wonderful!

As always, Robert Whitlow does it again! Love this author’s books and the suspense he is able to weave into each book, continuing to honor God with the Gospel!

not great. Just good. Maybe

The characters in the story are not real bright. The ending is predictable. The narrator made all the male voices sound like a 90 year old man, and the women are not much better. I like Robert Whitlow but this was not his best.

A very clever “who done it”

It was a good story. Hard to tell. Who did it until the end. A little heavy on the religious undertone but not too bad. 

So good!!

This is the first book I’ve listened to by Robert Whitlow. It kept me engaged the whole time and the character development was wonderful. The narrator did a great job as well!
