Sally Fenning's will includes five people she hated as her beneficiaries. Jack Swyteck is the lawyer for one the beneficiaries. The only restriction is that the last person alive inherits her 47 million dollars. The persons involved start bargaining and knocking each other off. This book has several twists that keep you guessing as to whom is going end up with the money. ( )
This one was a bit slower than the first two I read. But they have been consistently unpredictable. I admit to being surprised a lot of the time. I still don't love the characters. Jack isn't exactly a catch. And he seems to attract the craziest of women. The women in these books, or the way they are portrayed, is a problem. But the plot has plenty of twists and turns that keeps you guessing until the end. ( )
After her daughter was murdered, Sally Fenning could not regain any love of life even after marrying for major bucks and living the high life. So she hired someone to kill her and left $47 million to the survivor of a group of six strangers. This plot had promise but I'm afraid Grippando did not do it justice. I've liked his other stuff but this was just poorly developed and the story telling was plodding. I'm adding it to the database so I'll remember I did read it :) ( )
I wanted to like this book because of the clever premise of the 'game' outlined in her will. But like so many books in this genre, the "shoot-em-up" ending was a bit disappointing. This was the first book by Grippando that I read; and I will probably try some of his other novels. Overall, "OK" ( )
