This review is from: A Crime to be Rich (Paperback)

Shane Turnbull receives a mysterious phone call from a stranger which leads to devastation. In order to cover up one crime, Shane commits many many more. I was hooked from the beginning of this book.

It appears that once a person makes a terrible mistake, he will do almost anything not to be discovered, even if that means committing several more. However, the more things he tries to do to avoid detection the harder it will be to recover if his crimes are discovered.

His problems quickly multiply and become completely out of control. I couldn't wait to get to the end of the book to discover the consequences of his actions and to see if he is ever discovered.

It was a little bit difficult for me to understand because the story takes place in England, and the some of the language is unfamiliar. Other than the language issue at times, and that fact that the book was sometimes a bit dry, I really enjoyed this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced Read!, August 3, 2010

This review is from: A Crime to be Rich (Paperback)

A Crime to Be Rich by David Snowdon reaches in and grabs the reader! This is one book I could not put down. I had to figure out if the main character, Shane Turnbull, would pull off his crime. I felt bad for Shane as his crime was not intentional. I also felt the pain the family was feeling with regards to their daughter.

Of course when all of this turmoil is going on in Shane's life he gets a nice big job promotion. Too bad he really could not celebrate his promotion when he received it as he was understandably stressed out.

From the very beginning the strange phone call Shane receives, to the gripping middle of the book until the very last page of this thriller you will be hooked.

I highly recommend A Crime to Be Rich to both men and women that like all types of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah what web we weave..., July 26, 2010

This review is from: A Crime to be Rich (Paperback)

Have you ever had such a bad day that you hoped when you woke up it was a dream but realized you never went to sleep? 'A Crime To Be Rich' by David Snowdon is this person. He had it all one minute, the safety, the comfort, the love and then nothing but horror the next. This is a chiller, a suspenseful, on the edge of the seat page turner that is really good! In fact, you can miss a page or you will miss a step in the process. This is one you have to help him keep track of what he has done so he does not do it again. Shane Turnbull is a character to be dealt with at his mid-life crisis. Guys usually go out and buy cars. Nope, this one murders his wife. Ah what web we weave...
