LIFE SUPPORT

The main reason for my wanting to read “Life Support” by Robert Whitlow is because I am myself a lawyer. I must say that the legal research by Robert is quite top notch.

In short the story goes like this: Alexia Lindale is a young lawyer who represents divorce clients. Rena Richardson is a rich young woman who decides, in a strange twisted way, to kill her husband, Baxter Richardson, and then explain it away as an accident. Through some interesting turns of event, Alexia ends up representing Rena - not knowing that this crazed woman is a murderer. She has to make some tough decisions while trying to be a friend and someone who can be trusted with the truth - or what she's told is the truth. A twisting tale of tough decisions and of a mysterious, healing grace.

Overall it is a good novel but the one aspect that I did not like is having to wait for the sequel. I like stories that end with the book.

Disclosure: I received this book free of charge from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com blogger book reviewer program, in exchange for my honest review.
