Product Description

Darkness loomed, but the music--and the flickering light--persisted. Then grew stronger.The music stopped, the room emptied, and Baxter Richardson opened his eyes for the first time in months. He should have died from his involuntary plunge off a cliff. But he's alive, and mortal danger remains. Familiar enemies stalk him. New ones hover close at hand.

Meanwhile, haunted by accusing apparitions and the tightening dragnet of criminal investigation, Baxter's wife, Rena, is losing her patience. And quite possibly her mind.

Publisher's Description

With her client's husband somewhere between this world and the next, attorney Alexia Lindale makes an everlasting choice.

The youngest son of a family consumed by greed, Baxter Richardson lingers on this earth in a coma. His wife wants him dead to protect her secrets. His brother wants him dead to gain control of the family empire. And though Baxter's father fights to keep him alive, even he has ulterior motives.

But Baster has a surprising ally. A classically trained painist, Ted Morgan believes music can be used as prayer. And Ted's divinely-inspired playing has been slowly pulling Baxter back from the brink of death.

Attorney Alexia Lindale represents Baxter's wife, Rena, but has no idea that she and her client are being played in a game that has higher stakes than a single legal case.

As Baxter grows stronger, the more endangered he becomes. As Alexia navigates her responsibilities to her client, her relationship with the gifted musician, and her new relationship with God, she must discern the truth as it pertains to life, death, and life everlasting.

must read the first in this series Whitlow's novel is the sequel to Life Support. If you have not read that one (which I had not) you will be confused with this one. Unfortunately, there is no review of the first novel nor is sufficient information placed within the early pages of this book to allow you to Ã¢ÂÂcatch upÃ¢ÂÂ or remember the first book. Baxter signed over power of attorney to his father at age eighteen (why, we don't know). Now, years later, it appears Baxter tried to kill his wife, Rena, or was she really the one who tried to kill him? He had fallen off a cliff and was in a coma and at least partially paralyzed. Apparently in the prior novel Rena tried to get Baxter's life support removed, claiming it was what he would have wanted. Baxter's father is methodically taking his son's money, and interest in several companies, Rena claimed. Baxter's brother Jeffrey has given Rena the money to hire an attorney, Alex Lindale. Alex believes Rena's story. A subplot in the book is her getting to know church musician Ted Morgan. Ted believes music has a healing ability. He is a concert quality pianist but because of illness at a crucial time, did not pursue that career. Rena is caught in a web of lies and Alex refuses to continue representing her. But then Alex does continue to be involved in her defense. The novel continues on in this way. I was not very impressed with this novel. If I had not received as part of a blogging program, I doubt I would have finished it. The writing is very uneven. At times the action is compelling yet most of the novel plods along, frequently containing scenes and descriptions that seem to have been included only to make the novel longer. The ending of the novel is disappointing. A miracle happens that just doesn't seem to fit the flow of the rest of the story. I received an egalley of this book for the purpose of this review.

Life Everlasting by Robert Whitlow Life Everlasting by Robert Whitlow is an intriguing legal thriller. The plot was intricate and the characters were well-developed. A number of difficult topics were addressed throughout. When I chose this book, I was unaware that this was a sequel. While most books in a series can somewhat stand on their own, this one definitely does not. It felt like Life Everlasting picked up right where Life Support (which I had not read) left off - more like one story in two books rather than two separate books. The book was pretty difficult to get into and I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I felt like most of my complaints were due to the fact that I hadn't read the first one. I'll give Robert Whitlow a second chance (and choose the first book this time!). I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson / Booksneeze in exchange for my fair and honest review.
