MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fool’s Deadly Gold<\/strong> is a contemporary suspense\/murder mystery that does a good job illustrating what can happen when greed takes over a person’s life. The story begins with an accidental death that may not actually be an accident. As the tale progresses, there are several characters who could easily be the killer but a number of other deaths, plot twists and surprises makes it difficult for the reader to discern the truth. For me, the final revelation came as a surprise.<\/p>\n

Overall, the story was intriguing, if a bit slow moving.\u00a0 I found the story concept and the investigative process interesting; however I did not particularly connect with any of the characters, possibly because there were so many of them. I also did not find as much of a Christian message as I expect to find in this genre. Personally, I prefer a novel with more character development and interaction but others may enjoy this book.<\/p>\n
