The Whole Truth by James Scott Bell

The Whole Truth is the fourth novel I've read by James Scott Bell and I've really enjoyed reading his legal mysteries. He is a former attorney and brings a lot of insight from the legal process into his writing. I'm a former crime show addict and have decided to spend more time reading instead of in front of the television. I've found many Christian fiction writer's that produce a good quality of work without sacrificing integrity. What I like best of this author is that I'm finding out some detail that I didn't guess early on in the book in the last few chapters. A lot of Christian fiction is quite predictable - sometimes I enjoy that other times I want more.

I don't really want to say a lot about the book because I don't want to give anything away, so you can have the pleasure of discovering as you read. Find a copy of this book and get ready for an interesting ride.

Desperate for his final shot at professional success, Steve will do anything to find the truth. But Johnny knows far more than he’s telling, and the secrets he keeps have deadly consequences. Now Steve must depend on an inexperienced law student whose faith seems to be his last chance at redemption from a corrupt world where one wrong move could be his last.
