The Price of Redemption
By Gavin R. Dobson
Appletree Capital Management of
London has just been appointed by CSF, a large American financial group, to oversee
their expansion to the international scale. Soon though things begin to become
peculiar, and then deadly.
Ok so the good things first.. This
novel is well written as well as it seems to be well researched (I am not a
financial mogul so I cannot say one way or another as factual). It is a
corporate espionage book full of the big bad big brother coming down on the
independent London office trying to remain virtuous. Not a bad story line all
in all, the problem I had was that it was muddled down with so many seemingly
useless details I had a hard time making it through. For instance there were a
good two pages where it was nothing but an itinerary; this does not make for
exciting reading, though towards the end the story did pick up immensely. The
other big problem I had was that the author tried to incorporate romance into
the main story line. I repeat tried, it ended up falling flat, there was no
real emotional connection written into that story line which is a shame
considering it would have made the ending much more poignant.
