Water’s Edge by Robert Whitlow is about a young attorney Tom Crane who goes back to his hometown to settle matters of his deceased father’s law practice. He uncovers some unusual incident.
The plot promises lots of potential and had a ring of John Grisham’s style treatment but the story starts slow and it takes time to builds up. But towards the end it does bring in some need excitement.
Personally, I would recommend this book as a pleasant read on a lazy afternoon but don’t go expecting much and you will not be disappointed. And as for the John Grisham angle, I feel it is too laid-back to be even compared; Grisham’s style is more of a heart-pounding , relentless plot structure. All-in-all I would say go for it as a casual read and you will come out fine.
