Double Indemnity

About the Book Double Indemnity

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.

My Thoughts on Double Indemnity

Double Indemnity is a fast-paced novel that will keep you reading and never sleeping until the end. It’s an amazing novel!  This novel was so very intense.  You’ve got a pastor accused of murder and a lawyer who isn’t sure her client is not guilty.  Something fishy is going on!

Follow along as an attorney and a pastor set out to prove that he is innocent.  See what life is like for a pastor accused of murder.  And why was he accused of murder?  Did they really have the evidence to suggest it was him?  Is there someone close to him that is really behind this?  What is his real role in it all?

I could not put this novel down.  It really was intense.  But also a fun bit of romance thrown in.  And some characters with some issues that you have to watch be worked out as well.  

There were definitely some plot twists thrown in and some unexpected character roles.  Add in that it’s a legal thriller with plenty of teaching of legal actions/terms as well.
