"I have a better idea.  Let's have him killed."

Bad Trust (An Attorney Rachel Gold Mystery) ~ by Michael A. Kahn, 2020, mystery (St. Louis), 232 pages

St. Louis attorney Rachel Gold and her colleagues use their wits, legal skills, and a dash of chutzpah to defend both a slander case and a woman accused of murdering her rather nasty brother.  An ugly trust fund dispute among siblings turns deadly when Isaiah, CEO of the family firm he stole from their father, is murdered in his office.

Jewish lawyer Rachel Gold, hired to bring suit against Isaiah on behalf of his sisters, must now defend one against the charge of fratricide.  But playing at detective for her legal case means getting entrenched in the complex dynamics of the Jewish family.

As Rachel and her team seek essential evidence, the widowed Rachel struggles with family issues of her own, including relationships with her young son Sam and her boyfriend Abe. The jury is still out on whether or not Rachel can create the work-life balance she is seeking.
