Every Crooked Pot

I can't wait to see what kind of fiction you will be reading. I recently finished a book from a fiction Mystery which is a trilogy (but i've only read the first book out The Worst Kind of Lies) I read it cover to cover, couldn't put it down and learned a lot!
The author, John Patrick Lamont, has 14 years experience in the Insurance Industry and wrote this book about Betrayal, corporate scams and even murder.
If you want to know the inside world of the insurance industry, this is the book to read.
