(4 stars) Sex, lies, international conspiracy and murder-this book has it all, February 3, 2009
by Mike Monahan (New York), author of "Barracuda"

Becky Lawson is a new attorney building a modest law practice in a small ....Vermont.... town when she inadvertently uncovers corporate fraud. Her strict code of ethics puts her in such danger proving that no good deed goes unpunished. Soon Becky and her loved ones are caught in a web of murderous intrigue, including her beloved cat Miranda. J.R.Reardon does a splendid job creating characters that we love, hate, and fear. The author slowly creates a complex financial conspiracy that her hero tackles head on. As complex as the fraud is, the author is able to clearly guide the reader through while maintaining a high level of excitement. There are enough plot twists and turns to make the Indy 500 jealous. Who do you trust? Buy this page burner and find out for yourself. ........

(5 stars) A legal thriller out of today's news, January 26, 2009 by ellen "ellen in atlanta" (Atlanta, Georgia USA)

J.R. Reardon has written a legal thriller that is a cut above the norm. She has mixed great characterization with a plot that seems plucked out of the news.
Rebecca Lawson is a young attorney setting up practice in ....Vermont..... She is not one to just stand on her degree, she will go to court to learn and ask questions, and that makes folks stop and take notice.
When Allan Richards of Financial Investments asks Rebecca to investigate an suspect employee, this seemingly innocent task isn't innocent at all.
As she gathers information that seemingly deals with financial scams (that are eerily similar to the investment scams going on now in real life), Rebecca reaches out to her friend Joshua Tameron, who helps her get through the process of exposing this sceme.
Reardon's writing is smooth, and easily puts us in the characters' shoes, and we root for the underdog as Beck and Joshua literally fight for the truth as well as their lives.
As a sister of a lawyer, I appreciate the detail Reardon takes the reader through to help understand processes we may not ordinarily see.
This is an exciting read and am looking forward to more from this talented writer. ....

(4 stars) Calling All Armchair Lawyers - Reality Mimics Fiction (as in the Bernard Madoff allegations), January 4, 2009
Yale R. Jaffe "Author of Advantage Disadvantage"(Darien, IL)

J. R. Reardon weaves a wonderful tale of law, finance, and drama in Confidential Communications. We are introduced to a very likeable Rebecca Lawson, an attorney that anyone would be proud to hire for one's legal matters. She is big-city wise with a small town disposition. Readers will like her, and we root for her success, and fret about her danger. An important financial firm in a small ....Vermont.... town hires Attorney Lawson, and by doing so puts this lawyer in moral and ethical dilemmas, not to mention threatening her personal safety, when she discovers something might not be right with her client.

For armchair, wannabe lawyers this book offers something unique - a realistic, fly-on-the-wall peek at the workings of an attorney (courthouse contacts, research challenges, day in the life, and of course ethical challenges).

You don't have to be interested in the law, or the world of financial brokerage, or nail biting dramas - but if like any of the three you'll love this novel. J. R. Reardon must be clairvoyant - there are so many parallels to the current in-the-news Bernard Madoff alleged scandals. Yes, reality mimics fiction in this case! An excellent read.
