What I thought about A Fatal Confidant
Carson Tanner is a dedicated prosecutor and in line for the new district attorney job once his boss moves up. He's given a case to deal with it -- take down the local crime boss by way of a woman named Annette Baxter. Carson has already met Annette and it could cause him big trouble in his quest for the top spot.
A bit part of this book is figuring out who is the bad guy and who isn't. Annette has many of those answers but it could cause her to lose her life. She has to decide whether she wants to help Carson or not.
There were some romantic elements in this story and I liked that about it. The growing relationship between Carson and Annette was my most favorite thing about this story.
I did find this to be a slow read. It was hard to get invested in the characters. There was so much going on in the story that dominated things over the characters, which is why I am rating this 4 stars.
