Water's Edge by Robert Whitlow

This was our book club selection for November.  I hadn't read anything by Robert Whitlow, but in researching books for us to read his name kept popping up.  The book cover said his work was similar to John Grisham, and I'm inclined to agree.  The legal ins and outs of the plot were intriguing, and the character development was great also.

The main character is Tom, a lawyer at a prestigious firm in Atlanta who must return to his hometown to close his father's practice after he passes away.  Tom finds something suspicious in both his father's practice and his supposed drowning death and tries to solve the mystery.  Along the way, his great uncle Elias plays a strong role in leading Tom back to Christ.   I had no clue who the perpetrator was until the very end, and even then I didn't have it completely correct.  

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I enjoy this type of legal suspense novel anyway, and Whitlow did not disappoint.  I loved the way the author wove scripture throughout the story.  This was my favorite:

Jeremiah 6:16  This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.

Give this book a 10 out of 10!  Can't wait to read another one by Robert Whitlow.
