Review of Family trust

[Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis]

Another great review by Gerry Steen! The book sounds very interesting. Not too many books that I have come across are set in Australia. It will be interesting to see what this book is all about. I will put it on my list of books to read.

Your insight into the suspenseful plot and character development really highlights what makes the book engaging. The mention of wanting more cultural details adds a thoughtful touch. Overall, your review does a fantastic job of making the book sound intriguing and well-crafted.

This book definitely sounds like an interesting book about money, corruption, and family. Sounds like a book I'd enjoy.

[Diana Lowery]

I agree with you about wishing for more details about the Australian culture, but since the country is so far away, I will just have to experience it through books.

[Alice Heritage]

What ideas come to mind when you read "family" and "trust"? Would you consider a family to be a group of people related to one another by blood or marriage? Could a family be a group of people united in criminal activity? How about trust? Isn't trust a strong belief in someone's reliability? Couldn't a trust be an arrangement whereby a person holds property for the future good of one or more beneficiaries?

In Australia, family trusts are set up to manage a family's or its business's assets. They protect family assets and usually employ tax minimization strategies. Family trusts obligate a trustee to hold and manage assets on behalf of beneficiaries.

One might assume that such a trust would have sensible conditions. However, this is not the case in the story Family Trust by Peter Wilson. Have you ever heard the expression, "The road to hell was paved with good intentions"? Well, buckle your seatbelts. You are in for one heck of a ride.

Two of Australia's most powerful families made a pact. They decided to create a trust where, if a female child from one family were to marry a male child from the other, each would receive 50% of the money saved in the trust. They would also be entrusted with the responsibility of continuing the legacy of the two united families. You might ask, "What could go wrong?"

A large sum of money can cause people to do desperate things out of greed. Some people resort to desperate measures after years of being controlled and treated with disdain. People forced to hide their true selves can be driven to commit heinous acts. This story has it all. After reading this story, you will have an opinion about the "benefits" of a family trust.

Peter Wilson's story kept me in suspense throughout. It was easy to read. The main characters were sufficiently developed to help create a mysterious and enthralling plot. The editing was professionally done. I enjoyed reading this story set in Australia. But I did not get enough of an Australian experience. I would have liked a larger sprinkling of details about its cities and culture throughout the book. This would have added authenticity and adventure to the story. For the reasons above, I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.

If you are offended by profanity, you should know that this book has a fair amount of it.

This seems like a very interesting novel, however as you said, I would be more inclined to like it and give it a try if it had more details. I prefer it when books are more descriptive. Thank you so much for providing this insightful review.

I appreciate reading another one of your honest and engaging reviews. I sympathize with your desire to have more of an authentic Australian experience while reading a story that is set in Australia and I am grateful for your forewarning about the frequent profanity use in this story. Thanks for another wonderful review.

I loved the questions at the beginning of the review and the way you explained the title and the premise. Good job as always, Gerry. The plot of the book sounds very interesting. I usually love drama-filled stories centered around greed, money, and the darker side of human nature

Excess profanity aside, I love a good mystery! Gerry, I am curious if this book is based on two real Australian families? It does sound interesting. I will give it a read.

"Family Trust" focuses on the intricacies of the relationships inside an affluent family. This book is a good choice for readers who like gripping stories with complex themes and compelling character development. It's a really interesting story, drawing the reader in with its gripping narrative. It had been enhanced in interest by the reviewer. This person's reviews are always so much fun to read. Within the framework of a crime thriller, the book examines topics of wealth, corruption, and family dynamics. Twist and turn spark a strong curiosity about the novel. will give it a shot without a doubt.
