“Confidential Communications” is J. R. Reardon’s first book, but you can hardly tell after the first chapter.

This book will grab your attention if you are at all interested in law, mystery, betrayal, and action. Just when you thought you had the story figured out, another twist was added to make you rethink all the character roles. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.The characters are greatly played out and the hint of comedy and sarcasm was just right.

While this story was meant to be fiction, it reads just like the real life Ponzi-scheme activities that have been peppered all over the news lately. And even if you don’t follow politics or business, you will relate to this book as it is presented by Becky Lawson, a small town lawyer just trying to do the right thing.

That being said, I have two minor complaints. The first being that I wish there was more definition in the chapter where a characters memory changes to the present time. At times it was a little jarring to go from past to present with nothing more than a new paragraph. My other small complaint is I with there was more space between the sentences. At times it was hard to read as if felt the sentences were bleeding into each other.

This is a good quick read and should be on everyone’s must read list. ( )

I really can't review this since I authored it, although I did have a wonderful time writing it :) ( )
