A.P. Murray’s debut novel Greedy Heart, a romantic thriller, is set to release on April 7th, 2020. This novel tells the story of Delia Mulcahy; a thirty-something, money-driven, single woman who moves to New York City in 2006 to peruse work on Wall Street, where she believes that she can short the market to become filthy rich; the one thing she desires in life. Over the course of the novel, we follow Delia from 2006 up to the 2008 Stock Market Crash that influences the entire world, as well as the fallout of that event in the years to follow.
Greedy Heart feels similar to The Big Short and The Wolf of Wall Street, but with a strong independent female as the main character. Murray has written Greedy Heart in two different parts, which at times can feel like two completely different novels with some redundancy. However, in the end, the story captivates the reader and the reader wants to know more about Delia’s story and where she will end up. Murray’s two different sections are meant to show Delia in two different lights; a very drastic before and after that was caused by the 2008 Stock Market Crash. In a time where the world was dealing with uncertain times, much like what is going on right now, Delia learns that love is more than money and men.
Murray has written Greedy Heart so that she can give the reader a lesson on hedge funds, the stock market, and Wall Street, while also incorporating character development as the story progresses; Murray’s extensive knowledge shines through her writing. Delia is a brilliant woman who has an appetite for the most expensive items and Murray portrays this wonderfully by having Delia point out to the reader the price of different items throughout the story. As the story progresses and Delia becomes less obsessed with money, she slowly stops pointing out to the reader the price of various items.
Delia is not a likeable character for the first part of this novel. She is selfish, incredibly self-centered, and will do anything to get rich quick. Murray has created this character so that she can grow and mature as the story progresses, and it’s nice to a flawed character like Delia because sometimes you only see characters with one of two flaws and never transform. Delia as a whole is a flawed character that increasingly grows into who she is meant to be.
If you are a lover of romantic thrillers then you will adore Greedy Heart. Delia learns about love in different aspects of life all throughout Greedy Heart as well as life lessons that one needs to grow up. In a way, this novel can also be seen as a coming-of-age story since Delia finds out who she really is through different lessons taught by different people in her life. Murray’s debut novel is coming out at the perfect time as with COVID-19 becoming ever more present in our daily lives around the world, the stock market crash of 2008 parallel’s nicely to how the world can change in an instant and how we may have to adapt to a new way of living life.

Review of the audiobook:
What an unusual story. It was quite long and sometimes rambled a bit, but it definitely kept my attention. The audio was read by the author which gave it some degree of authenticity. This was a Vivian finalist for First Published Book. The author is certainly talented and has a distinct voice. However, I am not sure the book belongs in a contest for romance novels. There was a small amount of romance, a larger amount of intrigue, and a great deal of women's fiction.
Greedy Heart is not the kind of book I usually read, but I am not sorry to have read it.

This book felt disjointed. The first half is entirely about the 2008 market crash, and detailing the way the 1% spend their money. I didn't connect to this as a reader. BUT then the second half happened, and I flew through to the end.
Greedy Heart is a combination mystery, found family, personal growth story with a little romance sprinkled in. I truly enjoyed Delia's character arc, and the friends she ultimately made on the way.
If hard-working, take no prisoners FMCs are your thing, you will love Delia!

I received this arc from Tule Publishing in exchange for an honest review. At the start, I wasn’t sure I would like the book as it was different than my normal choices. It was more like some of my book club reads, chosen by someone other than me, but ones I ended up enjoying. It is ironic too that as I read the book (March 2020 during the coronavirus), the current world situation is becoming similar to the stock market and economy problems we faced in 2008.
This is Delia’s story. We learned about her past life as a rich princess growing up in a mansion in NYC, with parents who loved her and her aunt/nanny who doted on her. Then her dad died and her grandmother had to sell their home to the Greeks for an embassy. Then her aunt died and she like everyone, believed it to be suicide. Her mom withdrew and she ended up at a boarding school in Virginia. There was a new girl in the neighborhood, Angela, that was very unpopular. Her aunt invited her for a play date and she latched on to Delia. Her father was very appreciative and loved their family. She followed Delia to the boarding school.
Years later Delia is very intelligent and has graduated with her masters and is living in Florida. One of the well known hedge fund gurus, Peter Priest, invited her to return to NYC for an interview. She comes to town, has the interview and goes to an event at her old house, the Greek embassy and runs into the old friend Angela and meets Peter’s competitor Rob. Angela wants Delia to buy an apartment in her coop but she has no money so Angela tries to help her get in. Rob interviews Delia and promises to help her get into the building and secure her mortgage if she takes a job with him.
Time passes and we see the interactions between Delia and her mother, her mother’s friend Bert, Angela, Peter, Rob and some of the tenants at her new building and some at the rent controlled building her aunt had lived at 23 years ago. We read about the different business moves Delia makes at her hedge fund job and the repercussions.
There were quite a few twists and surprises. I found the end quite exciting and surprising. I would recommend this book. It would make a great book club read as there are many topics the readers can discuss and argue over. I give it 4 stars.

Reviewed at Keeper Bookshelf
It’s rather uncanny how Greedy Heart could be placed in the current year of 2020 with the pandemic and economic upheaval going on right now – instead of back in 2006-2008 during another turning point in so many lives.
Delia is not, at least of the beginning half of her story, a truly likable person. Or at least, she wasn’t for me. Her drive is to become totally filthy rich and the cost of that goal can be a bit high in the end. Yet, she is also a compelling person to read about as we watch her slowly over this story change, grow into someone very different. Life will do that to you so very often. Greedy Heart is told in two very different timeframes – leading up to her move to NYC in 2006 and the life she leads to gain all the goals she had set for herself – and the aftermath of the market crash of 2008 when Delia comes across as a much wiser, softer woman who has been through extraordinary circumstances. I can’t say that I ever truly “liked” Delia, but I did enjoy her story as she faces changes in her life and copes with becoming a very different woman with a much-adjusted outlook on life and money.
Greedy Heart is filled with intensity, Wall Street shenanigans, intriguing people who come in and out of Delia’s life, and how she makes adjustments in attitude and actions. A few laughs tossed in, a mystery, a bit of suspense, and a different look at how the crash of 2008 affected so many people in various ways. I enjoyed this story even if I wasn’t totally in agreement with the main characters. Still, it was so eerie how events can run parallel throughout history with a few twists and turns.

It seems like too much of a coincidence that right after I was speaking with someone about the recession of 2008 that the events in one woman’s life leading up to this time in the focus of Greedy Heart by A.P. Murray. A new author for me to read. It is a timely read has some haunting recollections for the difficult times of today. Perhaps also some hopeful lessons that can be learned, not only by the main character but indeed by the reader too.
Delia Mulcahy took some time for me to like her. I appreciated her love of math but not her greed so much. Some difficult lessons but needed for character growth that comes her way in this. Very much a flawed character, her transformation is wonderful done.
The writing is smart with the book divided into two parts, well named parts too. The quotes at the beginning of chapters were some of the best dry humor. I found myself looking forward them. The Bible verse at the very beginning may give the impression that this is a Christian romance, it is not at all. The language is crisp, sometimes profanity but always honest, getting and keeping your attention as well as being graphic to the feelings of the characters. This is a financial thriller but also a romance, though not in the first part unless you consider Delia’s love affair with money. Yet Greedy Heart was an enjoyable read especially notable for me since I am not so much into financial or Wall Street stories.
An ARC of the book was given to me by Tule Publishing which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I should state at the outset that I don’t read many novels as I believe a good story should be read without being rushed. Any I do read tend to be of the adventure variety such as those by Clive Cussler. Therefore, when Greedy Hearts was recommended, I wasn’t sure that I would like it. Instead, I was most pleasantly surprised. It is a well-paced story of a woman determined to recover the security and comfort lost with the collapse of the family fortune when she was 12. It begins when her talent and ability draw the attention of competing “new money” Barons of Wall Street; along the way it harpoons their narcissistic pomposity and the mendacity of their world of faux sophistication. The corruption of higher education and even the design of office décor are not spared! She next has to navigate the labyrinth of Manhattan real estate, and so encounters there a trove of arcane rules, shady practices, and even outright criminality. Despite all the foregoing, this is not a dark dystopian narrative – rather it is a grand adventure in which the protagonist is essentially a good person who finds other good people, though not before betrayal from some she trusted. There is much good; even to heroic horses – and who doesn’t love a tale of an heroic horse? Overall, it places the Manhattan of the first decade of the 21st century under a microscope with unexpected twists that will catch the complacent reader totally off guard. Interested? Intrigued? Read it – you will not be disappointed!

Delia Mulcaney is definitely an unlikely hero. She has closed up her heart and only has one ambition: money. Nothing wrong with that, right? Beautifully written, this novel has such a great sense of place. New York, with its eccentricities, its contrast between the life of the rich and the poor and its diversity all comes across so clear. It made me feel like doing a “greedy heart” location tour to visit all the places described, have the expensive bagels and even walk through Central Park with different eyes.
The characters are so nicely developed. They are all very unique, from the blind art gallerist with red shoes, the nuns with secrets, the retired models and even the retired policeman from Queens. And of course, Delia, the main character whose incredible intelligence permeates the whole story. This book is truly a testament to a witty, really clever mind. But don’t let that discourage you. The author so skillfully takes you trough the intricacies of the stock market, hedge funds and mathematical brilliance as if it was pure poetry. I can only remember a few novels that left me feeling smarter and Greedy Heart is definitely one of them.
If you want to be entertained by a strong female protagonist that keeps you longing for love, exciting your mind and heart, I strongly recommend this novel.

I stayed up till 4 am to finish this book. So if this review sounds slightly delirious, blame it on sleep deprivation. Greedy Heart was well worth the sleep deprivation! It's rare that we get follow a journey of a woman who is brilliant, openly greedy, and broken. She is NOT a NICE person. But she is fiercely loyal. She DOES NOT make good decisions. But she owns her choices. She is a GROWN-UP. And her journey from calcified cynic to open heart, which involves a bevy of characters (shout out to Norah, the crankiest building super ever), a host of animals (horses, parakeets), and a beautiful rendering of NYC (people from all cross sections-- beat cops, HR VPs, hedge fund managers, Lululemon moms, mafia socialites) -- keeps the reading lively!
I couldn't put it down.

Brilliant penniless Delia Mulcahy wants only one thing in life—to recapture her past—and she will do anything to get it, even sell herself to an avaricious hedge fund. And then the crash of 2008 sucks her into financial and moral chaos as she fights to win her life back, plunging her into multiple interconnected and compromising relationships and situations. This high-stakes financial thriller with its complicated heroine, large cast of colorful characters (including a pair of parakeets and a temperamental, but talented equine) is brilliantly executed—deftly tying together multiple story threads. The satisfying denouement with its mythic overtones may seem a bit rushed, but all in all, compelling from beginning to end.

The recent novel Greedy Heart written by Anna Murray was hard to put down. It is a racy New York story that sucks the reader in a deep plot of love, and different levels of relationships, conspiracy, betrayal, greed and Wall Street of course. Not only is the story told with intellectual integrity, but also moral rectitude. The novel is strewn with facts & figures about the city, and the seasons that witness human relationships and more. I felt impatient with the raw character traits of and the slow maturating of Delia, the young heroin, and the reckless speed of the story. Simply put, I could not stop reading it till the last page.

I am sad to have finished this wonderful book, but gratified to have had the pleasure of reading such a beautifully written novel. I have been engrossed with Delia‘s story for the past week. She is a compelling protagonist, complicated and endearing. All the characters in this rich novel brought me into their world. Although, I no longer live in New York, this book invited me back into the heartbeat of the city I loved.
April 9, 2020
A heroine struggling with the events that have shaped her beliefs and her better self, an insider look into a time that disrupted the world, a wonderful slow-burn romance, a touch of whimsy, and the great city of New York. Everything came together in this smart, compassionate book to put this author on my auto-buy list. Can't wait for her next release.
March 10, 2020
Underhandedness and greed combine to shake Delia’s world. If she can survive is the question. I loved the twist at the end.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This fast pacing, witty, sexy page turner has everything: a diabolically smart career woman, politics, Wall Street dessous and the most mischevious and elegant literary language. I want to read it all over again!

Not what I was expecting, but in a good way! The book started a bit slow for me with the finance lingo that’s a bit above my head, but as the characters were introduced, and the love triangle and drama appeared, I couldn’t put it down.
December 20, 2022
This was a definite read for 2022. Please give this one a read, you won't regret it!
