Synopsis

Someone stands to gain millions of dollars from a hunter's accidental death . . . unless that death wasn't an accident. In this fast-paced legal drama, a small-town lawyer and a cerebral pastor make an unlikely team as they uncover the truth behind one man's death.Matt and Elena Thompson present the picture of perfection. But their enviable life isn't all it seems. Their marriage is on the rocks, and financial disaster looms. Then Matt is killed in a hunting accident, and the questions and accusations begin to mount.Attorney Liz Acosta, newly arrived in the mountains of north Georgia after graduating from law school, plans to get some job experience on her resume before returning home to seek a position with a big-time firm. Intellectual pastor Connor Grantham isn't sure that shepherding a rural congregation is what he ultimately wants to do with his life. Drawn to philosophy, theology, and nature, he's beginning to feel more at home in north Georgia--especially after he meets the brilliant and energetic Liz.While Liz and Connor spend more time with each other and discover just how compatible two people from wildly different backgrounds can be, they're also being drawn into the shadowy world of Matt and Elena Thompson. As the couple's marriage counselor, Connor finds himself in the middle of their explosive arguments. As Elena's attorney, Liz is caught in the tailspin created by Matt's death.Together, Connor and Liz attempt to solve the mystery of what really happened to Matt. If his death is ruled an accident, then the double indemnity clause in his life insurance would go into effect, essentially doubling the payout. But as Liz sorts through the legal paperwork of who stands to gain an immense sum of money from Matt's death, Connor is accused of the unthinkable with much more at stake than millions of dollars.Dive into the gripping world of Robert Whitlow's Double Indemnity, where love, faith, and mystery intertwine in a legal drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With unforgettable characters, unexpected twists, and profound reflections on faith and forgiveness, this novel is a testament to Whitlow's masterful storytelling. Don't miss out on a story that feels like a conversation with a close friend, filled with real-life dilemmas and the comforting presence of God's love.

Goodreads review by Mario the lone bookwolf on January 22, 2023

Forget Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, this is Twains´ greatest work. And his unknown, shorter stories, all doing the only thing to make humankinds´ extreme stupidity and cruelty bearable, by satirizing them in a way no other classic author could or dared. Although some of it was released after hi......more

Goodreads review by Anne on November 14, 2023

2023 Like probably most of you, I hate to DNF a book. It kills something in a my soul a little. But I just really couldn't go on any further with this story back in 2017. Recently, I listened to a really interesting lecture, King Arthur: History and Legend, and the professor mentioned this and said h......more

Goodreads review by Kara on November 23, 2008

Most people think they know this story - but they don't - they just know the fish-out-of-water story that is just the surface of this book; this is really a story of about the biggest problems Mark Twain observed in his time period, including slavery, abuses of political power, unchecked factory gr......more

Goodreads review by Jim on July 30, 2022

I don't know why this book doesn't rank higher among the classics & isn't discussed more. Twain manages to highlight more of our human & modern society's ills & graces than any other book I've read. This is not just a man out of his time, but a journey of discovering just how large, fast changes, se......more

Goodreads review by Roy on July 19, 2016

I managed to be quite disappointed in this book. Yes, some parts are clever and funny, especially near the beginning; but by midway the joke had gone stale, and by the end I was elated to be done with it. The main problem, for me, was that Twain’s satire is almost wholly directed at the mythologiz......more


Quotes

'DOUBLE INDEMNITY is another winner from Robert Whitlow, one of my favorite authors. The taut suspense builds until the likable pastor is falsely accused of murder, and his new girlfriend, an attorney, has to solve the case. Highly recommended!'
