Commentary/review

The book is brilliantly written, giving revelatory vibes. Will all readers have to be executed for knowing too much?

Oddly, I found myself siding with the Metropolitan Police on this one. Police is for investigating crimes, not for making the world right for grieving parents. SPOILER ALERT The kid was scared to death and jumped into the river. The gangster who scared him to death commited suicide one year after that. These facts are clear when the book is not even half finished. The kid pretended to be a son of a deceased Russian oligarch and was a compulsive liar. Not even a con man – a con teenager. Seriously, what was there to investigate further. Everyone is telling lies, although most people do it because they want to continue to live. Telling lies is not a criminal offence most of the time and even oath breaking is rarely prosecuted.

That being said, the back story is so wonderfully written and interesting that everyone has to read the book. Especially impressionable teenagers. Get the book and see what the world of big money really looks like.

Performance is also very good. I could not put this down, or turn it off, to be honest.

A professional bestseller cover, nothing to improve here. Maybe a little overworked but still perfect.
