Christian Fiction Blog Alliance and Fiction Fridays
I’ve heard many Christians saw they don’t read Christian fiction, in fact they don’t even step foot into a Christian bookstore. That makes me sad.
Sure there’s bad Christian fiction our there, but there’s bad ficition out there in general. If you happen to find one, toss the book and move on, but don’t give up on Christian novels.
To help make your fiction buying easier, I will be featuring Christian novels and author interviews here at Portrait of a Writer. I won’t be able to review all the books, but will direct you to several sites who will. Just check the sidebar for the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance Webring for reviews of this book.
So here’s the first one! I’ll try and post something Fiction related every friday! Join me for and add your thoughts!
The Heir by Paul Robertson
Jason Boyer Just Got an Inheritance to Die For
The fortune wasn’t supposed to befall him. Jason Boyer had known all along his father’s business empire would pass to different hands. Which suited him just fine. The money was crooked and the power corrupt. But when an accident claims the old man’s life, everyone is stunned by the unveiling of the will. With the passing of the Boyer crown, power-hungry politicians and shady business partners all try to force Boyer’s hand. Fighting the temptation of influence and riches, he simply wants to be a better man than his father–but attempting to stand for what’s right soon brings murderous consequences. As those closest to him are endangered–and news emerges that his father’s accident may be something more sinister–Boyer finds himself fighting for his soul…and his life!
Is There Any Escape for The Heir?
All the money he could ever crave. In the splintering crash of a car plunging through a railing, Jason Boyer’s life is changed. All the fame he could ever desire. But the last thing he wanted was the throne of his father’s corrupt business empire. All the power he could ever wield.
The estate should have gone elsewhere, but the will was changed. And now everything is Jason’s. But gaining the whole world just might cost him his life.
THE HEIR is a Grisham-like tale of intrigue and murder with a lot of humor and well-drawn minor characters.
“In THE HEIR, Paul Robertson serves up politics, privilege, and murder with a side of acerbic wit. What a fabulous book–a great mix of angst, humor, and ultimately, hope.”
T.L.HINES–author of Waking Lazarus and The Dead Whisper On
