{Book Review} "Fatal Trust" by Todd M. Johnson



Rating: 4/5

Ian Wells just wanted to help his mom out. When his dad, Connor, passes away, Ian takes over his law firm. For five years, things go well as Ian works as an estate lawyer. The job is boring and not what he expected to be doing right after graduating from law school, but Ian is getting along. Then, one day, Ian is asked to take on an incredibly unusual case. From the very beginning of the case, things are strange. In a one week time span, things become strange and dangerous.

Art theft. Hot money. Trust fund. Murder. 

Ian has no idea what he has walked into by accepting this case. What appears to be a simple trust fund distribution is much, much more. Will Ian make it out alive? Will his clients live? What's with all the secrets and lies?

Fatal Trust starts off very, very slow. However, once the action picks up, it continues right up until the end. The pacing isn't great, but it is enough to draw readers in. All of the mystery and confusion among the characters will entice readers to push through the slow beginning. There are a lot of characters to keep up with, which is a bit challenging because none of them are developed super well, so you end up with a lot of characters you don't know much about. Nevertheless, the characters that are developed are interesting and the plot is entertaining. If you like crime fiction, this is a good choice.

I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
