What a surprising little read. I really enjoyed this. It's described as a medical and financial thriller - yeah not quite. It contains medical elements but it's more a financial mystery. It is fast paced and somewhat suspenseful but it's not quite at that thriller level. That said, it was reasonably logical, wrapped up all the main points and contained fairly likable characters. Ronnie seemed a real genuine honest go-getter and I adored Gadi. This wasn't character driven although the author did provide basic background, motivations, etc. It would have been a stronger read though if there was more explanation behind the villains and who and why and that. It wasn't completely wrapped up to my satisfaction - although it did wrap up all the main points - like who did it. Some readers will likely find some of the financial and medical detail dry, but I really liked the insight into the financial world of investment funds. I didn't feel that it was too hard to follow but it's not the kind of thing everyone enjoys either. There was a big deal made of Ronnie's special forces skills - I would've liked to see more focus on that, but perhaps in the next one. Still, this was a good solid mystery that kept me entertained and interested.

I had a bit of trouble adding tags, it's kind of an odd mix of crime and suspense and cozy mysteries. I do prefer the new cover though, although this probably better sums up the overall mood. The newer covers are really edgy focusing more on the suspense aspects. Anyway, solid three stars. ( )
