It just had a lot but nothing going on. The first half of the book seemed to be about them being rich. Then the second half started off good but quickly became the author trying to do every twist possible.
But it was actually all a lie by the main character. It also wasn't believable.
I did like the structure of the interview and the set notes. I also loved the cover.

I found the pacing to be a slog, the characters flimsy, stupid, and obnoxious, and the writing to be tortured. Every turn was telegraphed entirely too hard. Felt like the author was just doing a poor novelization of a movie we’ve seen a dozen times. Did not work for me on any level.
