Reviews - Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice

If you're on the fence about this one after reading some of the two-star reviews here on GR, I'd recommend listening to Adam Grupper's narration. Unlike all those MFA's searching for their "voice," Browder already has one, and Grupper lets it sing. Granted, it's the voice of a financier with guts and not that of a mellifluous columnist. I doubt that a man who lives with the threat of Putin's FSB hanging over him is terribly worried about what literary critics think of his prose style. It's a gripping tale written from the heart, and it reads like a suspense thriller.

"Unlike many other Westerners in Moscow, I had never studied Russian literature, trained as a spy, or done anything useful to prepare for life in Russia."

An interesting, albeit sometimes dry, story about an ordinary American who pushed for international justice after the suspicious death of a colleage falsly imprisoned in Russia for tax fraud.
