Summary: Action packed, slightly amusing, but a little dull.
Comment: As murder mysteries go, this one falls short of a bestseller, but it does keep you turning pages, even if only to get through it. Our hero, Matt Cook, heir to the fortune of his famous father/author, is suspected in the death of said father. Matt himself is a journalist, hooks up with another journalist, and together they travel the world, ending up in exotic, off the beaten track places and becoming involved in a web of conspiracy, murder, and all sorts of action packed adventures. The theme of the whole story is too old though, we have all read mysteries like this before, and though the characters are lively enough, it just doesn't make for a stay awake at night book. Nearly every chapter is predictable, and though there is one fairly good twist, I suspected it as a twist immediately and still figured it out. At times there is some good humor, and some of the characters will keep you guessing, but there are just so many better murder mysteries and stories of this genre out there that I could only give it three stars. After awhile, I got really tired of the gang killings, which just went on and on and all of Matt's miraculous escapes. His journalist friend, Tina, is also very predictable, but she has spunk and at least that is appreciable. All in all, an average book with a little bit of spice.
