Charlie y Oliver Caruso son hermanos y trabajan en un banco privado tan exclusivo que se necesitan dos millones de dólares para abrir una cuenta. Allí, descubren una cuenta abandonada, cuya existencia nadie conoce y que no pertenece a nadie, con tres millones de dólares. Antes de que el estado se quede con el dinero, deciden apropiárselo, sin saber que algo que hacen para resolver su existencia estará a punto de costarles la vida. While this is not one of Brad Meltzer's better books I did find it an enjoyable adventure. In one respect it was a very forward concept upon which to base the story unfortunately felt the primary characters were bland with little depth and throughout the story none of the characterizations really grabbed me. The story concept and line were interesting and as always the writing was good. Overall while not a bad book the bland superficial characters ended up taking a potentially interesting idea leaving the concept without anything to support it and whence easy to loose it in bland mundane environment. Unless you are a Brad Meltzer fan (and I am) would suggest you read other of his work and not consider typical of his writings. This book is a mystery in itself. I enjoyed reading it as much as any book I can remember but the story itself is shot through with credibility leaps and plot problems. I realized them as I was reading but was still totally sucked in and enjoyed every word. Two brothers kind of steal millions and kind of get into more of a mess than they could ever imagine. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Two brothers who are desperately chasing success get more than they bargained for in this suspenseful cat-and-mouse thriller of wealth, crime, and social climbing. Two brothers. Three secret service agents. And millions for the taking. Charlie and Oliver Caruso are brothers who work at Greene and Greene, a private bank so exclusive there's a $2 million minimum to be a client. But when the door of success slams in their faces, the brothers are presented with an offer they can't refuse: $3 million in an abandoned account that can't be traced. It's the perfect victimless crime. Charlie and Oliver opt to take the money, but get much more than they bargained for. Now, with a lot of extra zeroes in their pockets and a friend found dead, the Secret Service and a female private investigator are closing in. Whose money did they take? How will they stay alive? And why is the Secret Service trying to kill them? Both Charlie and Oliver quickly realize it's not easy being The Millionaires. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
