Life Everlasting

“Though Alexia's client's life no longer hangs in the balance, eternal questions linger.
The music stopped, the room emptied, and Baxter Richardson opened his eyes for the first time in months. He should have died from his involuntary plunge off a cliff. But he's alive, and mortal danger remains. Familiar enemies stalk him. New ones hover close at hand.
Meanwhile, haunted by accusing apparitions and the tightening dragnet of criminal investigation, Baxter's wife, Rena, is losing her patience. And quite possibly her mind.
Caught in the middle of it all is Alexia Lindale, a lawyer forced to find her way through deceptive alliances, uncertain romances, and courtroom intrigue. It's a struggle of life, death . . . and life everlasting.”
If this synopsis is the type that catches your attentions, then you will enjoy Life Everlasting, by Robert Whitlow,  Thomas Nelson Publishing.  It is the second book in what I can only perceive is a two book series, as I cannot find a third book in the series as of yet.  The main character, a attorney in South Carolina, is faced with defending a woman whom she is beginning to doubt.  At the same time, the man whom she is developing a romantic interest in, a music pastor, is ministering to her comatose husband, who she says tried to murder her.  As he begins to awaken, elements of truth begin to emerge, but who is telling the truth?     I thoroughly enjoyed the book, once I got a few chapters into it, and it only took that long because I had not read the first book.  Mr Whitlow, a practicing attorney, fills his book with enough legal drama to make the plot exciting, characters who have enough dimension to make them likable, but not plastic, and spiritual truth without dipping into preachiness.  He finds balance, which is not an easy thing to do.  I will definitely pick up more titles by this author.
I received this book free from Booksneeze in exchange for this review, but the opinions expressed are my own.
