The Rose Conspiracy is another exciting legal thriller by Craig Parshall. We meet J.D. Blackstone, a top defense attorney, who is hired to defend Vinnie Archmont. She is accused of the murder of the administrator of the Smithsonian Institute, and of the theft of some pages from John Wilkes Booths diary. J.D.s defense preparation leads him into a background search of freemasonry and immortality. Is there eternal life? J.D.s uncle, Reverend Lamb, seems to think Jesus holds some of these answers and hopes J.D. will come to the same conclusion.
Will J.D. find the Lord? Will he realize that he cant control everything? Will he get Vinnie exonerated? Will she capture him? Who really killed the Smithsonian administrator? Do the pages from Mr. Booths diary hold the secret to immortality?
Matthew 7:7-8 would make a good theme for this novel. We have a man without peace and an empty heart needing answers, but not sure he wants them. The gospel is presented in conversations within the story, making this novel a good way to witness quietly to a friend or loved one.
This is a long book, but you wont dare put it down until you reach the end. Readers get a glimpse into the court system, some background on Freemasons, and a hint of romance. What more could readers ask? Both men and women of any age will enjoy The Rose Conspiracy. Linda Demorest, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
