MY REVIEW OF Conduct in Question
Harry Jenkins
specializes in wills and family trusts at the law firm of Crane, Crawford and
Jenkins. When Richard Crawford, the senior partner dies, Harry discovers that
Richard had taken out a huge personal loan and used the firm coffers as
collateral. At about the same time, Harry’s largest client Margorie Deighton
dies, leaving Harry as executor of her estate. When a Chinese businessman
requests Harry’s services on a land deal and hands over a large check amount,
Harry is leery but accepts anyway. But when those land deals become a conflict
of interest, Harry declines any more dealings with Mr. Chen, the businessman,
thereby creating dangerous circumstances for Harry. Add to all of this, a
serial killer that hits close to home and Harry has more than enough to keep
him on his toes.
This story had
so much going on that it had me feeling sorry for Harry. I really liked the way
it all played out though. It had drama and adventure, as well as deceit,
mystery, and fear, all rolled into an intriguing, easy to follow plot. I do wish
that it had addressed more on why Ms. Giveny, Harry’s secretary, did a complete
turnaround in her personality. I thought that should have been expounded upon
more, to understand what had caused her to change so dramatically.
