About this audiobook
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

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Finally at the end of this audiobook, and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it? I REALLY wanted to like it thanks to so many great reviews I've seen already. I really wanted to like it even more as it has numerous mentions of life insurance, policy language, and types of coverage that I work with on a daily basis (I totally geeked out over ALL of that).
But the closer I got to the end, it just fell so flat. I knew what would inevitably happen to Matt, but it took sooooo long to get there (no spoilers, promise). Elena's character drove me nuts, but on the flip side, I loved Liz. When the bad guy was finally revealed, it was so rushed. I wanted there to be a SCENE, not just a sentence or two.
This was my first by this author, and I know there are most likely some other great books by him. By no means is this going to be the only time I'll read his work. I just wanted this book to be better than what it ultimately was. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Usually love Whitlow's books but never connected with this one. Seemed to be totally obvious who the bad guy was but none of the characters could figure it out.
