Review: Actually, pretty exciting and unique plot

I wasn't sure if I'd like this book at first - the beginning hit the ground running with a murder of a model in the mansion of an extremely wealthy foreigner.  Then we met Toby, the main character.  I thought I'd quit the book after reading a few pages, but I'm glad I didn't.  Toby is kind of a doofus, but he is very likable.  The writing style reminds me of something similar to the "young adult" genre in some places, but this is not a book that is appropriate for children (some swearing, sexual innuendo, violence).  The plot became more and more exciting as the book went on, there were actually some places were I honestly couldn't put it down.  The trouble with reading e-books is that if you don't pay close attention to the counter along the bottom, you don't realize that the book is ending.  So, I was constantly aware of how much "time" I had left because I was really enjoying the action filled and fast paced story.There were some parts that were unbelievable (like a CIA agent ever admitting they work for the CIA), but all in all, it was a fun, exciting book to read with a lot of humor mixed in thanks to Toby, the poor little rich boy who needed to grow up fast and thanks to a crazy Russian multi-billionaire, the Royal Navy, the FBI, CIA, MI6, a the crown prince of England and an assortment of other colorful characters, he did in the most delightful way.
