Review: Gripping & Thrilling!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I won't go into the plot very much since other reviewers have already been pretty thorough in that regard, but just a quick re-cap, this is a book about crime, attempted kidnapping, fraud, and murder in the British Underworld. I loved the characters' personalities and flaws and how each voice really rang true. Some other reviewers point out how dark these characters are, which is totally true, but they make this book all the more fast-paced and interesting to read. I have raved about this book to friends, family, and my book club. My favorite books are ones that not only tell an interesting story but are also written at a different level than just average. For some reason, "Consequence" reminds me a bit of the writing of the late, great Richard Laymon, and saying that is really a compliment to this great author. I definitely recommend Consequence to anyone who loves a good crime thriller, or needs a book that will just get your mind off of your everyday life, because once you pick this one up time is just going to fly by.
