Eric is aging, well but not happily. The thing is, he’s been lonely since his wife died, so when he’s given the opportunity to invest in a real estate deal, he jumps. Not only does the deal sound good financially, but it gives him something to do.
He knows that it was a mistake to bring his brother into the deal; Kevin had problems of his own and didn’t deserve what happened to him. Worse was what happed to Eric’s old business acquaintance. And that poor young woman, that was a tragedy. My God, who could have known? It was just a business deal, after all. Gone bad, obviously. Very bad. But Eric didn’t do anything wrong. Did he?
I had never heard of this author and only purchased the book because it had a 5 star rating. I didn’t look at how many people had reviewed it, but it must have been one and that person was probably the author’s friend. It definitely was not a 5 star. It was drawn out and could have been half as long. The only characters developed were the narrator and his siblings. It was boring.
