I have read other books by Lis Wiehl and April Henry and their works have been great page turners but there is something very different about “A Matter of Trust.” Usually it is fiction imitates reality. This time it is the exact opposite. “A Matter of Trust” opens with the shooting death of prosecutor Colleen Miller at her home. Her best friend, also a prosecutor Mia Quinn is on the phone talking to Colleen when the murder occurs. Mia is given the task to solve this murder and look into a very similar case of another prosecutor of the same office that was left unsolved who was also shot at his home. On the same day I began to read this chilling novel, I heard the unfolding story of the prosecutor murders in Texas and Colorado that are tied in to each other. That is what makes this book very different from other thrillers. There are several other story lines including how someone who is bullied decides to commit suicide. The authors have created a strong female character in Mia who is also a single mom with a teenage son and a young daughter, coping with her job and raising two children by herself. “A Matter of Trust” has numerous conflicts, realistic characters and a thrilling story that take readers along for the tense page turning ride ending with a great conclusion that has readers wanting more stories about prosecutor Mia. “A Matter of Trust” would make a great TV movie on the Lifetime Network.
