Summary: A great story, very well written
Comment: I just finished Black Maps, and it captured my attention completely. It is intriguely plotted with terrific if occasionally over-the-top characters. Some of the dialogue reads Elmore Leonardesque, and that's a good thing because it increases the entertainment value of the book. I also found the descriptions of the people and places among the best I have read. You can really "see" these faces, bodies, and places. Good stuff. And the story takes a series of twists that are not quite anticipated. I never thought of this as a "financial" mystery. That's just the context for a great story. I didn't realize this was the author's first book and started looking immediately for something else he has written, which is my recommendation for a very good author. I look forward to his next book.

Summary: An Exciting Read
Comment: Black Maps is a page turner, full of exciting scenes that expose the true nature of greed, power, and fear. The characters in the story come to life through detailed descriptions and crisp narrative and dialogue, while the backdrop of Wall St/New York City evokes a feeling of glamour and danger.
What makes Black Maps such a great read is the complex story line with all its twists and turns. Just when you think you have it figured out, the story shifts in another direction. Just when you think all is well, more danger lurks behind the next corner, or in this case, on the next page!
Black Maps is great mystery with alot of substance. Its the type of book that one can read more than once, with the same sense of enjoyment each time.
It's truly one to be tried by all mystery fans.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very entertaining
Comment: Although the story started a bit slowly for me, I enjoyed the author's writing style and characterizations immediately. Then the pace picked up and I was enthralled. I am very much looking forward to new books by Mr. Spiegelman and I highly recommend this one!
