Water's Edge is an exciting legal mystery. The main character, Tom Crane, is faced with significant struggles both personally and professionally, and almost ends up committing suicide to avoid the disasters that are before him.When Tom Crane believes he is just about to make partner in the large law firm he works for in Atlanta, the company lets him go due to financial straits. His girlfriend leaves him that same day, and Tom reels from these two major disappointments. He heads home to Bethel, Georgia, where he needs to close up his attorney father's office, after he dies in a boating accident. Many situations arise through the book, leaving him to question what life is all about. He finds himself questioning his goals for the future and the significance of old and new relationships. While the book ends somewhat predictably, the reader is unsure throughout how the story line is going to be brought together to a satisfying conclusion.  
This book contains a lot of Christian dialog and bible verses. Part of the main character's struggles are considered within the Christian framework. I would recommend this book to all readers, but especially those who enjoy good Christian fiction.
