Survivor's Guilt by Robyn Gigl~Blog Tour

 Publisher: Verve Books

Publication Date: 7 Dec. 2023

Genre: Legal Thriller

Summary:

The death of millionaire businessman Charles Parsons seems like a straightforward suicide. There's no sign of forced entry or struggle in his lavish New Jersey mansion - just a single gunshot wound from his own weapon.

But days later, a different story emerges. Computer techs pick up a voice recording that incriminates Parsons' adoptive daughter, Ann, who duly confesses and pleads guilty.

After the case is brought to her attention by an unlikely source, Erin McCabe and her law partner, Duane Swisher, soon realise that pieces of Ann's story don't fit together. Ann clearly knows more than she\'s willing to share, even if it means a life sentence. Who is she protecting, and why?

As their investigation deepens, Erin and Swish find themselves caught in a web of human exploitation, unchecked greed, and murder - before learning the horrifying truth...

Review:
Firstly thank you to Verve Books and Robyn Gigl for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
I didn't realise that this was part of a series when I picked it up but I didn't feel like that made a difference. I feel like I got all the background information that I needed to know/was relevant from the first book fed to me when it became relevant to this story. I felt drawn in from the first couple of chapters, wanting to unravel the threads that Erin was pulling at with her, it made it hard to put the book down! 
It was interesting to have the chapters on Erin's personal life too, to see her struggles with how her being transgender affected her family and romantic relationships it was good to see that expressed so well in the book and I loved that she had people who accepted and loved her for who she was and ignored the label others would put on her.
It's a really well-written thriller, I enjoyed seeing how Erin and Duane worked through the case and how they each have their sort of specialities. The story is well crafted and you can tell that Robyn Gigl knows her stuff when it comes to this subject so I definitely would have no problems picking up another book of hers when I'm in the mood for a legal thriller.
