A Testament of Character by Sulari Gentill

A Testament of Character by Sulari Gentill

In fear for his life, American millionaire Daniel Cartwright changes his will, appointing his old friend Rowland Sinclair as his executor. Soon murder proves that fear well founded.

When Rowland receives word of Cartwright's death, he sets out immediately for Boston, Massachusetts, to bury his friend and honour his last wishes. He is met with the outrage and anguish of Cartwright's family, who have been spurned in favour of a man they claim does not exist.

Artists and gangsters, movie stars and tycoons all gather to the fray as elite society closes in to protect its own, and family secrets haunt the living. Rowland Sinclair must confront a world in which insanity is relative, greed is understood, and love is dictated; where the only people he can truly trust are an artist, a poet and a passionate sculptress.

Sulari has delivered a spectacular story againHigh stakes in many ways, but also, at times, sedate enough to allow the heroes to breathe... This is a part of history that seems to be repeating itself today - and books like this are a stark and much needed reminder not to turn away, and Sulari is doing this exceptionally well, and her research gives such great authenticity to the period -- Ashleigh * The Book Muse *
This tenth book in the series seems to me to take place on a smaller canvas - but is no less exciting and fascinating for that. As in the previous Sinclair mysteries, Sulari Gentill weaves fact and fiction together into a wondrous tapestry -- Jon Kershaw * Glam Adelaide *
When the going gets tough, there's nothing quite like curling up on the couch with an intelligent, amusing and well-crafted crime novel -- Sue Turnbull * Sydney Morning Herald *
A Testament of Character is well written and engaging - it has bite but also charm -- Paul Burke * NB Magazine *
