Actually a 3.5 but I try to encourage indies attempting to break into a tough field. Besides, he is from southern NH where I grew up (Wilton) and went to college (Keene). Book was an Xmas present from my brother in law, now passed on to him since I think he will enjoy it. Interesting characters, if a bit stereotypical. About 100 pages too long but a good editor will fix that if Phillip breaks through and a few small typos here and there, typical of self published works, actually, fewer than most.
Interesting plot keeps one hanging in to see what happens with a few twists and turns. The one thing that doesn't ring true is that I cannot imagine a financially desperate movie producer putting the sophisticated money shifting program in place to protect himself during a drug deal. Interesting concept, but just a bit too nerdy and sophisticated for the character.
Phillip was a small town NH firefighter who has written other books along those lines. Guess I will have to check them out to see how he handles the familiar grounds of southern NH. Quite a contrast from the southern CA milieu of this novel.

This was a great story, great character development, lots of converging plot twists and building suspense. It got a little in the weeds for me when it came to some technical passages, but I really enjoyed this novel. I sincerely hope it gets optioned for movie deal. With the right cast it would be a good one.
