The Trust – Mesmerizing!

February 3, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

The Trust: A Novel (Liam Taggart and Catherine Lockhart)The Trust: A Novel by Ronald H. Balson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book draws the reader in immediately and doesn’t let go. The action, twists, and turns make this mystery mesmerizing. Liam Taggart reluctantly returns to Ireland for Uncle Fergus’ funeral to learn he’s been named the Trustee and the funds cannot be distributed until Fergus’ killer is discovered. Since Liam left Ireland and his family in less than friendly terms this appointment doesn’t sit well with anyone. He enlists his private investigation partner and wife, Catherine, at home in the US in the hunt for the murderer. Fergus isn’t the only family member who has a murderer and the angst grows. Who knows what will happen next? I may have to read the other novels in this series!
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and was under no obligation to post anything but my honest review which I have done.

Karolina’s Twins – Review – Stupendous and Moving!

August 25, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Karolina's TwinsKarolina’s Twins by Ronald H. Balson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, this book was mesmerizing! For my followers, this novel about World War II in a small town in Poland is not my normal read. I loved it but I am warning you that it contains brief language that comes with war and tragedy. The emotional story covers a young Jewish girl’s saga as safe changes into nightmare when the Germans take over her home, her town, and her life. Survival remains constant and reality is harsh, rude, and beyond imagination.

Lena, now an elderly woman, presents her past to an attorney, Cat and her P.I. husband, Liam hoping they can find a set of twins left behind in Europe 70 years ago born to her best friend, Karolina. She promised her she would find them and now, as her life comes to a close she must locate them to assuage her guilt.

The writing is excellent, the characters deep, and the pace fast. I highly recommend Karolina’s Twins. I feel we must never forget the travesties of the Nazi regime on the Jewish population and those who assisted them. This novel does that. Thank you, Ronald Balson for writing it.
