This fast paced, original book centres around a family who win an enormous amount on the lottery. Going from hardship and work drudgery, to champagne trips across the Atlantic, provides the reader with the vicarious thrill of living life as a multi millionaire… but, as we all have been told many times, money does not bring happiness and it is not long before Brian and Linda are subjected to the downsides of wealth. There are also some secrets in the marriage that keep the reader in suspense throughout the tense, surprising twists and turns, as the novel reaches its unforeseen and shocking climax. I felt that the book succeeded as both a psychological novel and action thriller because of the quality of the writing. I liked both the main characters and felt invested in the outcome. I don’t often try new authors but I would urge you to give this one a try. You will be waiting for the sequel as you turn the final page.
Good entertaining read. You can relate to it and think of it impacting you the way it is to the characters if it was you personally in the same scenario. There are also many other scenarios that can come from greed and jealousy, incorporating villainous impacts and many other habits. I can see or feel there is definitely another book to be released and continue down this Web of othe avenues. I have read another book from this auther which was a home hitter relating to his own personal real life situation he lived but so many other millions of football fans and and how the corporates involvement affects the passionate affair someone can have with football called ( Give the fans sweet F.A).
