I had two issues with this novel, one that isn't really the book's fault, and the other is because a publisher like Bellabooks really should have done better.

The book is all about fraud and banking, and I don't have a clue about either. Sure, I know how banks work and do business, but the technicalities completely go over my head, mainly because US banking seems so different from what I know. So, Kip is looking for evidence, and I'm sitting here thinking: OK, whatever, if you say so. As I said, not really the book's or the author's fault. I have the same issue with courtroom novels that go deep into the procedures. I spend more time googling stuff than I am reading the story.

The other reason it gets one star is because the epub and mobi versions I purchased from Bellabooks were so badly formatted, I actually complained to the publisher. (and of course, I received an awfully polite reply about how sorry they are and it will never happen again.) Basically, it was formatted in such a way that it was one giant wall of text, compounded by the fact that countless paragraphs had no space between sentences. I can tell you, that makes for some tedious reading, especially if you are not familiar with the topic at hand. I don't know if this applies to the Kindle edition as well. What bugged me most is that the book is five years old. Surely someone would have spotted these issues by now.

Bellabooks promised me an updated version in the future, so I might read it again and adjust the score. Until then, it's just the one star.

edit
I just received the edited version. Will reread it again later and do a proper rating.
