I've enjoyed reading Killing Wall Street and I find it full of action, intriguing and entertaining book.

I like how Cathy’s actions are described and I found myself whispering to her to stop or what to do sometimes.

I like how Michael solved the case in the end and I have to tell you that I didn't expect this final.

It’s an easy reading book, where I found some interesting explanations about the financial system, corrupt greed people and struggling people.

I also found some interesting quotes. Here are just some of them:

“People will accept almost anything if you apply enough pressure on them. Eventually they will realize that it’s in their best interests.”

“The thing about some friendships: they are evergreen and even after a long hiatus you can recapture the chemistry.”

“Instincts and feelings are universal – we have them whether we are short or tall, thin or fat, poor or rich, jobless or gainfully employed, housewives or athletes.”

“Old ties are hard to break.”

“You would be surprised what you can do if you believe you are doing the right thing.”

“It’s always been about money. Greed isn't modern invention; it’s been around since Judas accepted his thirty pieces of silver. But that doesn't mean that people like you should sell out!”

“Every moment of your existence is different when you have enough money to tell people to go to hell. Take orders from no one, fear no one...try and imagine that. That’s what money really buys – a life without fear.”

“money? Yes, sadly we value little rectangles of green paper more than people, but I think the money is useless if we don’t use it to help each other.”

Thank you for the great book and I wish to read more from this author!

A great read...couldn't put this book down until done. Lots of twists. Cathy is a great character, part concerned Mom, part blood thirsty killer. Especially liked her choice of targets. Gotta say it...she had a plan and executed it perfectly. Husband Mike seemed like a cuckolded male of yore, yet deeply caring about his wife. I highly recommend this book. Am anxious to read more of Sanjay Sanghoee's books. I am making a trip to the library to check out some of his prior works. I think this book will continue to rise on the NY Times book list as more people hear about it. Would make an excellent movie. Did I mention I couldn't put it down??… (més)

In Killing Wall Street Sanghoee uses Catherine, a 40-year old assistant manager at a NYC athletic club as his protagonist. She thinks of herself as curvy and still attractive but she sees that time is marching by and worries about ending up alone--which causes her to be in a loveless affair while she yearns for her estranged husband.

Pillow talk from her married lover, an unscrupulous M&A banker with no morals and a quick temper, lead Catherine into a quixotic quest to stop an impending financial deal that would potentially hurt tens of millions of average people. Her solution? Murder the people spearheading the deal!!

Can a somewhat deranged and drunken middle aged woman murder Wall Street elite while being pursued by an up-and-coming FBI agent? And get away with it? Read Killing Wall Street to find out. Expect several huge surprises along the way and prepare yourself to find out just how far one woman can go to avenge us all against the powers that be.
