A Review - Water's Edge by Robert Whitlow



This book is another work of legal fiction by this author. Tom Crane is a high flying lawyer who goes to a small town to wind up his recently deceased father’s law practice. He finds various anomalies which lead him to all kinds of intrigue, emotion, action and even to finding God.

I found the story started well, but became pretty slow in the middle. At least there was an unexpected twist at the end which redeemed the plot a little. The characters were good and Robert Whitlow’s descriptions are very good, creating very clear pictures in the mind. It’s just a pity his plot wasn’t of the same calibre as his characters and descriptions.

 I enjoyed the previous books that I read by this author, but I was disappointed with this one. I wondered why I had spent the time reading it. Perhaps if one had nothing to do, it mightn’t be too bad for a relaxed afternoon read.
