Fast Paced and an Original Storyline

5 Nov 2005

by Ashley Barnes

I enjoyed the storyline. The dancer character named Rio provided an unusual twist. My impression is that the computer consultant, Mark Caran, was the main protaganist but the FBI Agent Morris seemed to steal the limelight in a bigger role until near the end. The details of New York City provided an interesting backdrop to the events which all take place over the course of just a couple weeks. A fast paced thriller.

Entertaining with unique characters

Although the plot description makes this book sound rather contrived, the story itself is woven together fairly well and believably--well, as much as escapist fair ever can be believable. This book does keep you moving right along. The "good guys" characters are nicely developed. But the "bad guys" could have used more meat to them. Other readers may disagree and there was enough there to understand their character--I just would like to have gotten to know the people involved in the scheme a little more. Great story though!
