The Fixer by Joseph Finder

1.0

As a Joseph Finder fan, I was extremely disappointed with The Fixer. I found myself just plowing through the pages in a desperate race for the finish line. The scenarios and situations that the main character, Rick, gets into are just plain silly. After finding over 3 million dollars stashed in the walls of his childhood home, Rick sets out to discover the true origins of the money. He suspects his father, now living in a nursing home after a massive stroke, has the answers he needs to uncover the mystery. While the premise of the novel sounded promising, I found myself thinking that the main character was nothing more than a self-centered idiot. I found the scenarios to be unrealistic, edging on idiotic. If you are a Joseph Finder fan (or a fan of thrillers and mystery novels), don't read this book!
