Exile Trust A Frank Cole Mystery Frank Cole Mysteries Vincent H O'Neil 9780312380649 Books

O'Neil has continued his "classic" murder mystery in Exile, Florida. O'Neil is a master story-teller, and has further developed a very interesting character-Frank Cole. The story will "pull you in" and forced me to read in one sitting - fortunately I have a long plane flight and was able to read without loosing sleep. (Also has an extra hour due to daylight savings time.) O'Neil does for small-town Florida what another favorite murder mystery author of mine- Brendan DuBois does for coastal New Hampshire. I like Cole as an "under-employed" fact checker, who has the time to follow-up of decades-old real-estate swindles and track-down "missing" safe-deposit holders, conceivably at the heart of one and perhaps two murders.

Exile Trust A Frank Cole Mystery Frank Cole Mysteries Vincent H O'Neil 9780312380649 Books Reviews

A mystery so good you will skip meals and forget about sleep. Non-stop action, terrific story line and characters to die for. A must read for everyone.
In Exile, Florida, bank manager Ollie Morton is concerned that the auditors will find discrepancies especially with the safe deposit boxes as the owners have vanished and payments not received. Police Chief Denny Dannon recommends Ollie hire Frank Cole, who needs work due to REDUCED CIRCUMSTANCES, to find the missing clients. The bank's safe-deposit manager Susan Wilmington also informs Frank how a strange person with proper identity claimed to be the husband of Dorothea Freehoffer and emptied her box; soon afterward, they learned Dorothea just died in an accident and her spouse was buried two years ago.

Frank investigates the Freehoffer scam that leads him to a real-estate swindle and a two decade old cold case homicide. He begins digging deeper angering those who want illegal activities including fraud and murder to remain a concealed scam.

Frank is terrific as he always is (see MURDER IN EXILE) although the plot is so linear, a reader can see the ending almost from the beginning; on a cloudy day you can see forever (or at least the ending) as there are no twists or red herrings. Still Frank is at his best as his simple tracking job turns into an investigation into fraud and murder. Fans of the series will enjoy his latest efforts in Exile.

Frank Cole is living a life of exile in Exile, Florida, but it is a life he is getting used to although at times he feels the need to take his life on a different route. Frank lost his business and endured a very bad bankruptcy. Mark, Frank's friend and attorney, has advised Frank that he needs to keep a low profile until hopefully some better decisions can come down from the bankruptcy court.

In Exile Trust we find Mark Ruben visiting Frank in Florida. Mark is contemplating a move to Florida with his family, but Frank isn't so sure this is a good idea and is not being very encouraging.

Denny Danton, Excile's Chief of Police, approaches Frank. Denny has recommended Frank for a job that has come up at the local bank. It seems that auditors will be at the bank soon and the records on the safe deposit books are incomplete. After checking out the situation Frank asks his friend Gray Toliver to help out, and Gray is more than willing to take on the job.

One safe deposit box of most interest is owned by a Dorothea Freehofer who was just recently found dead in her home. Dorothea's husband Preston passed away several years ago. Someone with the key to the safe deposit box shows up with Preston's passport for identification and a bank employee gives this person access to the safe deposit box. Now that the bank knows that it could not have been Preston, all stops are pulled out to find out what really is going on.

Frank lucks onto an elderly woman in Dorothea's neighborhood who seems to be the only friend Dorethea had. Dorothea left an envelope with the neighbor and now Frank is in possession of the contents of this envelope. Frank's investigation will lead him into old real estate schemes and even murder.

This is a great addition to the Frank Cole series. I enjoyed Exile Trust as well as Reduced Circumstances. I haven't read the first book in the series Murder in Exile but I do intend to that soon.

Armchair Interviews says Nice addition to the series.
Another great book on the misadventures of Frank Cole and his colection weird Florida people! No hi-tech speak like some current TV and books. More about the characters and life in a small town. When is the movie?
O'Neil continues in a string of powerful novels with great twists and turns in the plot. Frank Cole is fast becoming my favorite character in the published world. I won't spolil the story but I read this in one sitting. Just could not stop turning pages. You can "Trust" O'Neil to keep the plot moving and the action too.
Mr. O'Neil, please keep them coming! and soon!
Can't say enough good things about these authors. Interesting plots and superb writing skills. Very strong character development. Looking forward to more stories.
Vincent O'Neil is a master of weaving the past of Frank Cole into another tale of possible murder in Exile but this time it involves a tale of bank vaults and old real estate interests. What a great way to spend a few hours with the author as he extends our knowledge of what makes Frank "tick" and how his bankruptcy ties with the latest job the Exile sheriff wants him to do. Colorful characters with different personalities are presented through the eyes of the protagonist. When is the next novel due...I'll order it.
