Devil's Arcade

Max Plank #3

by Robert Bucchianeri

He knew better than to get involved with his archrival, the city’s most notorious crime lord. But when he does, he finds himself on the run, both suspect and prey, and fighting for his life.

Max Plank, San Francisco’s P.I. Extraordinaire, just wants to take his girlfriend to Hawaii and find out what’s bothering  her lately because he’s afraid it might be him.

So when Poe, the corrupt casino magnate, asks him to help find his missing brother and millions of dollars in stolen casino funds, Max turns him down. But Poe won’t take no for an answer, and what Max thinks will be a brief one-day cursory investigation leads to a dead body, a frame-up for murder, and a last-second escape.

Now Max must risk his life or face a murder charge, and that’s the upside, as a mysterious assassin is stalking his every desperate step towards uncovering the secrets behind those threatening his life.

I really enjoyed book 3 in the series and I was having trouble trying to decide who the guilt parties were is this time. I love that there are so many different possible options for the ending and when you get there you are very surprised with how it works out. I would recommend this author to anyone who enjoys different ends than you would except. I have started the next book in the series and I am having trouble putting it down as there is so much going on and you can't wait to see what is coming.

Max Plank takes on Gaming corruption

The author is writing for viewership consideration. The story is light and the personal relationships are concerning. This was a quick read and I would recommend this to a wide audience (26 & up).

3.5

Perhaps just expecting more based on the previous 2 books. Shorter less meat to the story but not really bad.

Hooked

It has become apparent to me how easily it is to become hooked on the Max Plank character. A very good tale in each book that will hold the reader's interest.

Max Plank is at it again, taking on a case that leads him in to more trouble and makes him cancel a trip to Hawaii.

This was the most twisted storyline so far and I loved it! I read it in less than a day because I couldn't stop. So I'm on to the next installment of Max Plank & his sidekicks.
