Lt Commander Faydra Green from the JAG Corps is the a “take no prisoners” protagonist of this book. This story holds the reader’s interest from the first sentence to the very end – a roller coaster of a story. This is a 5-star thrilling read! I received a free copy from Net Galley and the opinions expressed are my own.

Living in the shadow of her father plagues Faydra as she investigates her first homicide case. Being the daughter of former President William Green is not as easy as it may seem. His power and influence dogs Navy JAG lawyer Faydra ‘Spider’ Green at every turn and she ponders if her achievements are her own or his. She’s thrilled to be investigating her first murder case but the man accused is not the killer. Instead, there’s a huge cover-up going on. What to do? Will Faydra play along or leak the cover-up? Meanwhile, when Faydra is teamed up with a navy captain on a top-secret mission, she places herself in harm’s way, but she doesn’t pull any punches. Determined to complete her mission at any cost, she defied logic and throws herself into dangerous situations. Will she succeed where men have failed? They don’t call her Spider for kicks…

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree is an addictive, heart-pounding, legal/military/spy thriller I couldn’t put down. This is book one in the series and boy, does it deliver! There are certain characters who make or break a thriller series and Faydra makes this series unputdownable. From the beginning, I connected with Faydra. She’s a flawed character who kicks butt on all levels but it’s her insecurities that make me love her even more. No one relates to a perfect character. The action scenes are high-octane and well described. The legal/military/spy vernacular is accurate and lays the groundwork for an authentic storyline. There’s a lot going on in Fruit of the Poisonous Tree but Norm Harris writes with purpose and clarity. I thoroughly enjoyed Fruit of the Poisonous Tree and I can recommend it to any reader looking for an edgy thriller. Fans of thrillers will love Fruit of the Poisonous Tree. Brilliant from start to finish, I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series. Highly recommend!

My Rating: 5 stars
