5-0 out of 5 stars Didn't want it to end
This was the first Michael Ridpath novel that I have read and I am a fan. I got a clear picture of each character and got so caught up in the story that I hated to put it down. I was really disappointed when it ended because I wanted to immediately start a new adventure with Paul, Cathy, and Cash. Hope they make it into a movie.

4-0 out of 5 stars A good mystery
Ridpath did an excellent job of weaving information about financial markets and trading into a mystery that spans the globe from London to Phoenix. He did a great job of portraying the people caught up in the bond and borrowing industry, and the ethical dilemmas they face. I would heartedly recommend the book.

I would put the book on par with Dick Francis and Grisham.

2-0 out of 5 stars Needs some sharpening
There is a germ of a good book in here. It needs to be whittled down by 50% and the characters need more personality. It has some excitement in the trading scenes, but you have to slog through worthless stuff to get tothem. For example, we go through a long, dull chapter describing a visit tothe narrator's mum, hear a description of his father, his father's death,etc. and it really is all for naught. I hope his other books are better.Maybe if he read some Hammet or Hemmingway he can pick up some pointers onhow to make the prose more efficient.

2-0 out of 5 stars Plodding style and corney characters - not much fun!
Thrillers set in real worlds are often the best escapism, I find. But not this time. Why? Because Ridpath's leaden writing deprives his setting of any real blood or believability. The result is rather tedious, becauseyou'll find it very hard to care what happens to any of the hollowcharacters involved. A very over-hyped thriller...

1-0 out of 5 stars DULL DULL DULL
I've read some overhyped novels in my time, but this one takes thebiscuit. This man CANNOT WRITE, and in fact, from the evidence of this bookcannot even punctuate.

Suspence? None. Particularly since the blurb onthe back jacket of my copy says "his crusade for an explanationresults in his being framed for murder, accused of insider trading and leftto find twenty million by lunchtime." which 1, is in fact the entireplot, and 2, doesn't actually *happen* until page 330 (of 420)! (If you'reinterested, pages 1 to 330 are taken up by deadly explicatory bond meetingswhere people keep saying things like, "Okay. So, how exactly do yousell a junk bond?" and the characters say "okay, it's like this,blah blah blah- oh no! I've told you too much!")

Avoid. There aresome brilliant stock market books out there, but this is not one of them.Oh, and note to the author: denoting one of your characters as Scottish byhaving them say 'Laddie' at the end of each sentence is not just completelyinaccurate but shallow and demeaning, too. Okay, old chap? ... Read more
