It's a long time since I've read any Grisham-type lawyer novels. There's only one left in my bookcase although I've consumed many. They all started to read the same. Follow the Money was a breath of fresh air by comparison.Fingers' first person narrator did a good job of placing me right within the story. Strong pace kept me turning the page. I also found his settings very evocative, in strong contrast to wet and windy Ireland. The sleazy bars, desert towns, palatial mansions, it was all very real. The main character is very human, makes mistakes, isn't always cool. He's lifelike. I was angry with him, sorry for him, urging him on.If I have a complaint it's only that there wasn't more of it. I look forward to Ollie Olson's next adventure and trust Fingers not to fall into the Grisham repetition trap.Ruby Barnes[..]
