A tangled web of lies, theft, and betrayal-one lawyer must
determine if that is all his late father left him. Ambitious young
attorney Tom Crane is about to become a partner in a high-profile
Atlanta law firm. But first he must clear one final matter from his
docket: the closing of his deceased father's law practice in his
hometown of Bethel, Georgia. Killed in a mysterious boating
accident, John Crane didn't appear to leave his son anything except
the hassle of wrapping up loose ends. But instead of celebrating
his promotion, Tom finds himself packing up his office, having
suddenly been "consolidated." To add insult to injury, that same
night his girlfriend breaks up with him . . . by letter. Returning
to Bethel with no sense of his future and no faith to fall back on,
Tom just wants to settle his father's affairs and get back to
Atlanta. But then he runs into an unexpected roadblock-two million
dollars of unclaimed money stashed in a secret bank account. And
evidence that his father's death may not have been accidental.
Worse still, a trail of data suggests his father played a role in
an international fraud operation. Along the way, he meets a woman
who is as beguiling as she is beautiful. And her interest in the
outcome of the case is just as high as his. She challenges Tom's
assumptions . . . and his faith. Now he must decide whom he can
trust-and how far a father's love can reach. A stand-alone legal
drama Full-length Christian fiction novel set in the small-town

Water's Edge is a story about Thomas Crane, a lawyer who returns to his hometown to close down the legal firm of his recently deceased father. Along the way he stumbles across some discrepancies in his father's files, involving the other man who died in the same tragic accident as his father. Will Thomas learn to trust God, do the right thing and solve the mystery?
The book was an easy read and for me the genre was a pleasant change from other Christian fiction I've read. While the plot line wasn't too surprising you were kept reading right until the end trying to figure out the finer details.
Of all the characters I found Uncle Elias the most interesting, and loved the interaction between him and Thomas. I also loved the setting of the novel, I could almost imagine the town and people of Bethel and wish I could live there.
I enjoyed the spiritual message of the novel and the dilemmas with which Thomas is faced, as they are not simply "black and white" decisions. I would recommend this book to others, it was a good read.
