Stepping her perfect Jimmy Choos into place beside Ben Gallagher’s faded Nikes, straitlaced Philadelphia lawyer Catherine Barrington is surprisingly unable to resist the disarming small-town mechanic’s charm. He’s one of the heirs to the vast fortune left by his eccentric grandfather Max, a bestselling horror writer, and she’s there to carry out Max’s last wishes. Routine enough…except that inheriting comes with a catch: none of Max’s heirs will get a penny until they’ve lived together for two weeks in the shadow-filled rooms of his mansion in the wooded hills near Lake Superior.
From beyond the grave, a letter from Max insists that his death was no accident, sending Catherine undercover―and way out of her comfort zone―to catch the killer. Posing as a cocktail waitress, Catherine soon finds herself trapped with the feuding clan at the sinister Nevermore manor. To save her own life, she’ll have to confront the murderer, as well as her growing attraction to Ben―a top suspect.
Not my favorite Ok. I have enjoyed lots of books but this one was a little dry. Something was missing. I did finish the story but , to be honest I couldn’t relate with the hero and I had no hope of ever being able to.
Loved this book Really enjoyed the writing as well as the story. This is the second book by Diana Miller that I have read. Her descriptive style, as well as her excellent story lines, put her way out in front in this romance category. She adds just the right amount of detail to her prose and her dialogue is real. Looking forward to her next book.
For fans of the board game CLUE! You’re gonna love this book. I’m loving this book! Fun, quirky characters, like Aunt Muriel, the Lutheran who likes to dress up as a Catholic nun, and Jeremy, the suave ladies’ man, and Dylan the family embarrassment! Then of course there are the hero and heroine, sexy mechanic Ben and straight-laced Catherine, a lawyer. FATAL TRUST reminds me of a grown-up’s version of the board game Clue, and everyone is a suspect in the murder of Maxwell Windsor, but then the story takes a twist…
