Anyone else think forensic accounting sounds like an oxymoron? So badass and nerdy at the same time!
I listened to this audiobook in one day. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was fast-paced and engaging, given that the story is a literal race against time. Both the kickboxing and forensic accounting details were neat to read about.
I found it interesting and enjoyed the plot and intricate financial details. I didn’t feel particularly connected to the characters, but they were believable and I liked them well enough.
Mild annoyance: Gregg’s mom, who inspired him to become a salesman, was a Mary Kay consultant. Mary Kay is a multi-level marketing scheme (pyramid scheme), not a legitimate sales job, and seeing that kind of thing promoted in novels always irks me. Don’t join MLMs, kids, unless you enjoy flushing money down the toilet for pipe dreams and crap products.
