This author is so good. I love legal thrillers anyway, and he is just as good if not better than Grisham, Patterson, and the like.
The first book of this 2-book series is Life Support. Baxter Richardson is pushed off a cliff by his wife Rena, who is shocked to discover that he survives the accident. Baxter is now in a coma and Rena wants to terminate life support. She claims that her husband would have wanted that, but the reader knows the real reason Rena wants him dead. Baxter's husband, the very wealthy Ezra Richardson, wants to keep his son alive to protect his own interests.
Meanwhile lawyer Alex Lindale is sent by her firm to help the Richardson's sort out their disagreements about Baxter's power of attorney. She ends up representing Rena without knowing the truth about Baxter's fall. This leads to a "conflict of interest" with her firm and she is fired. Alex decides to open her own practice.
As this is all happening Alex meets music minister Ted Morgan, whose faith and giftedness on the piano draw her in. Alex has never had a strong faith but begins to learn more about what it means to trust in God. She sure needs a lot of help in representing Rena Richardson.
All of these characters and story lines are woven together creating an intriguing plot. I was racing to the end only to discover the dreaded cliffhanger! After a few days of impatiently waiting I had book number two, Life Everlasting. I won't go into too much detail because it will spoil the ending of book one. Let's just say Rena's lies get more and more complicated and Alex is struggling to keep up with her. Her relationship with Ted is becoming more serious, and Baxter's life is still on the line.
