I was a little surprised I'd enjoyed this book so much.I was on fence about downloading onto my Kindle. I kind of thought it would be a gambling type of mystery thriller. However, "The Card Counter" by James Kipling is a high energy quick reading who done it. Our protagonist is a rumpled and overworked Jake Walker. Walker is divorced and has 3 daughters that he gets to see every other weekend. Naturally on a weekend he's watching his daughters, Walker is pulled into a very nasty murder case. The star quarterback at the local college has been murdered, and left in a very compromising position. From there the bodies continue to drop. Walker along with his partner Flo bring in the FBI. With the fast pace of the story, the characters are left a little sketchy. Walker's character is the only one developed with some depth. Story was not bogged down by too many loose ends. It was difficult to put down when I began to read. The conclusion has nice and unexpected twist to be sure. I'm giving "The Card Counter" by James Kipling 5 stars out of 5. I'd highly recommend this if you're into who done its. So, do yourself a favor and give this a spin. It's a pretty good book to be sure.
