Book Description

March 15, 2005 West Owens

Set in an underground world of scandal, sex and street justice, in Money for Good some people will do anything for the love of money. . . .

Small-town businessman West Owens needs money. He's struggled his entire life to get it, but can still count his friends on one hand and the amount in his bank account on the other. When he is summoned for jury duty, however, he is introduced to Lauren Richards, a resourceful, ruthless fellow juror who drags West into a web of deceit involving the city of Atlanta's case against drug informant Pete Rossi. Suddenly, West finds himself in a world where charges of murder, possible prison bids and thousands of dollars are at stake. Soon he has more money than he's ever seen and he'll do anything -- including risking his life -- to keep it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money For Good is VERY GOOD!, March 22, 2004
Although Franklin White has been writing fiction for a while, I'd never read anything by him until this book. The cover was interesting and the book description was interesting too. This book was so good that I finished it in no time flat. It doesn't seem that too many people have written reviews for this book but I hope it's doing well because it's the best book I've read so far this year. This author can now count me as one of his fans and I hope he writes more of these kind of books soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pages just turn., April 30, 2004
I picked up this book by Franklin White because I read his first novel Fed Up with the Fanny plus the cover is hot. From the very first page when the District Attorney is grilling Rossi I knew that this book was going to be a good one.

The main character West -I could really identify with because I have been on jury duty before and it does take a lot of time. West was upset that his business had to shut down because of jury duty then when his girlfriend started to complain about the lack of money in the house, he was almost forced to go into a plan with another juror (Lauren)who was down on her luck and living out of her car.

Their plan was really simple. Get the money from the guy (Rossi) who said he was innocent..but they could tell he had it. From that this book is just an explosion of storylines that keep you reading page after page.

I will be looking forward to the next West Owens book. The author left it wide open for another book and I can't wait to read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth, easy fun gangsta read!, May 19, 2004
By 
I loved this book. I thought the author did a really good job mixing all the characters together since they all came from different backgrounds. Rossi and West played off of oneanother perfectly then when they started to work together along with Mrs. Bullock it was like watching a movie. I would have given this book 5 stars and I still probably should but I was mad at Lex for what happened to her baby-that part in the book really touched me because it happens much too often. You wont go wrong with this novel you will really enjoy it.
