I was asked to review this book. Why? I think it's because I'm a cop. Maybe it's because I'm a reader and a writer but I still come back to cop. I typically stay away from books about the law. I went through my John Grisham phase years ago. I'll read a medical thriller now and then but books about lawyers are at the bottom of my personal slush pile. That said, why did I give Follow the Money 4 1/2 stars? I couldn't put it down. I loved Oliver, the main character. He wasn't perfect, made a huge mistake in his love life, but he is a good guy. I loved Oliver's parents who play only a small part in the book, but give you the foundation for how Oliver got to be Oliver. The story itself is fast paced and believable. Again, why did I give Follow the Money 4 1/2 stars? The book should have been longer. I could have spent much more time with Oliver and his family. Can't wait to read Fingers' next book!
