@BookChickCity Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge 2011: Buying Time by Pamela Samuels Young ( suggest via @rawsistaz)

The first book suggestion comes from my rawsistaz pals who interviewed Pam in their book chat. I didn't get a chance to do the chat, but I picked up the book on ebook, which has always been better for me. 


BOOK DESCRIPTION
Waverly Sloan is a down-on-his-luck lawyer. But just when he’s about to hit rock bottom, he stumbles upon a business with the potential to solve all of his problems.
In Waverly’s new line of work, he comes to the aid of people in desperate need of cash. But there’s a catch. His clients must be terminally ill and willing to sign over rights to their life insurance policies before they can collect a dime. Waverly then finds investors eager to advance them thousands of dollars—including a hefty broker’s fee for himself—in exchange for a significant return on their investment once the clients take their last breath.
The stakes get higher when Waverly brokers the policy of the cancer-stricken wife of Lawrence Erickson, a high-powered lawyer who’s bucking to become the next U.S. Attorney General. When Waverly’s clients start dying sooner than they should, both Waverly and Erickson—who has some skeletons of his own to hide—are unwittingly drawn into a perilous web of greed, blackmail and murder.

Reader's Notes

I clearly enjoyed myself and found myself making time to get to the next chapter. I've been a fan of Pamela's for a long time, but this one really had me going until the last page. Just the way I like them.
