I have to laugh at all the people complaining about the author suckering them into buying more books. If you read, people, it says in red on the cover - a SERIES by Mike Wells. Plus it's called Book 1. What else would you like him to do?  Put a neon flashing warning on it?!  If you don't like series books that's fine, your opinion.  But don't blame the author because you didn't look before you hit the buy button!Lust, Money & Murder immediately pulled me in.  The opening chapter was intriguing to say the least.  A rich guy and a high priced hooker in Italy. How could you not be?  We are then introduced to Elaine. I'm usually not one for back story at the beginning of a book, but Wells does it brilliantly, forcing me to become invested in her character.  I had no choice but to turn the pages, even had a hit of coffee to make sure I stayed awake to see what would happen to Elaine next.  Secret Service training, counterfeit money, murder, betrayal. Yup, all that and a whole lot more in Book 1 alone!!!Downloading the rest as soon as I'm done with this!!  I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a well written, fast paced thrill ride!!
