On his deathbed, the ninety-year-old former bookkeeper for the Kansas City mafia names Walt as the successor trustee on his Living Trust. An unsuspecting Walt soon discovers that his duties include keeping an eye on the heirs who must complete some very specific tasks before claiming their inheritance. When things start to go south, Walt soon learns that the heirs will resort to anything, … including murder, to get their hands on their grandfather’s money.

Poor Will get sucked into it again and this time by his father! This book has some very interesting things to learn about old houses and the length people go when greed is involved. I loved the last sentence of this book… gave me a chuckle.
This review is for the audio book.
I loved this book. You never know what is going to happened when you start a Robert Thornhill story other than it will be good and get you chuckling as it unfolds. Oh and justice will always be served even if it is years later. I like the way the author writes about everyday people and the trails a normal family can face when facing lot of money it either brings out the best in people or the worst and in this book it certainly brought out the worse.
When an old friend is dying he asks John to be his Living trust executive, John declines being to old but suggests his son Walt. Before Walt even gets asked the man dies and Walt has no choice. The man had no family other than three grand children and with each of them having there own problems he stipulated that in order to get there inheritance them must carry out certain things and it is Walt’s job to see that they do. Stop drinking, stop gambling and get a job these actions prove to be to hard for the hapless Trojans they decide to get the money another way. A way that means Walt and Maggie will be facing guns and moral dilemmas because the man also worked for the Kansas city Mob.
George Kuch is very good and long may he continue being the voice of Walt Williams.
Audiobook review: Walt Williams and gang are back! This time they tackle the greed that sometimes follows after a relative’s death. The audiobook is entertaining and interesting. The storyline is intriguing and addictive. The narrator did a great job! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Lady Justice and the Living Trust is my thirty-seventh enjoyable read/listen from author Robert Thornhill. Another entertaining clean read, filled with puns & one-liners, as always dealing with current social topics. Each book in the series seems better than the last as Thornhill continues to up his game. Narrator George Kuch again adds greatly to the listening enjoyment with his wide variety of entertaining voices & inflections, Kuch IS Walt Williams! I’ll definitely be reading more from Thornhill! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Up next is Lady Justice and the Bad Seed. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Robert Thornhill continues to deliver a great book. I enjoy this series very much. Walt Williams seems to attract trouble even when he is just being a trustee for a living trust. Of course Walt’s Dad is the one who gets him involved in the first place. How Robert Thornhill comes up with these great story lines I don’t know, but he always delivers a great story. George Kuch is again the narrator and honestly no one can be the voice of Walt Williams but George.
