A review by rmarcin
The Ones We Trust by Kimberly Belle

4.0

The Kimberly Belle books I have read have all been thriller, so this was a bit of a departure. It does have some suspense filled moments, but this story isn’t a thriller. Instead, it is an emotional account of the aftermath of war and the loss a family feels when a soldier is killed, and the choices one makes to uncover the truth.
Abigail Wolff is a journalist who left the field after writing a story that ended in a dramatic fashion. Now, a new, explosive story has been dropped in her lap, a story about a soldier killed in the war with questionable and classified details hidden from the public. Abigail gets involved with the family, and also has her own family involvement to consider as she decides whether or not to pursue this story. Additionally, the story that ended her career is also creeping back into her life. Abigail has to decide how far she is willing to go to get to the truth, and what it will cost her and those she loves.
This is a story told from the point of view of those dealing with the loss of a loved one during war. It is told with grace. Well done.
