Review: Wanted - or not

so Wanted was the first Nick Stephenson book I have read.  I was underwhelmed. The story line is very Dan Brown and had numerous similarities to Inferno (stolen/copied painting, bad men on a super yacht, and an "amateur" sleuth). I find the premise of a billionaire playboy chasing (and defeating) a trained killer somewhere along the lines of unbelievable and ridiculous. The story line in this adventure never rang true to me. and Leopold Blake's personal bodyguard?  Really?  anyway, if you want to suspend your believe system and want a good fantasy novel hiding as a thriller adventure, this one is for you.  Three stars because the riding is decent. and once you just go with all the unbelievable things Blake does, then it's even a decent story.  someone recommended this author to me based on my reading preferences and I downloaded a few of his books because they were daily deals.  I might read another one if I run out of other books, but as I have a great Kindle library with over 1000 titles, I don't think that will happen anytime soon.  not much of a mystery or thriller but if you enjoy fantasy, this one is probably right up your alley.
