The Dead Celebrities Club by Susan Swan #Review

*I received a copy of this book for my honest review*



A timely novel about the hedge fund whale, Dale Paul, a witty, self-absorbed rogue and raconteur. Charm and boarding school connections to billionaire media personality Earl Lindquist aren’t sufficient for Dale Paul to avoid being sent to an upstate New York white collar jail on multiple counts of fraud for gambling away US military pensions. Promising himself to earn back his son’s previously gambled inheritance, Dale Paul dreams up an illegal lottery for his fellow inmates based on the death of old and frail celebrities. Disgraced and for once in his life, penniless, Dale Paul’s relationships with his family deteriorate while he works on his scheme to make himself rich again. Win or lose, Dale Paul goes through a sea change that may (or may not) make a new man of him. But will the enterprising gambler get caught in his own con?

MY THOUGHTS


I had a hard time getting into this book.  Don't get me wrong the story was good in most parts and I like the writing style but I didn't find it was something that got me hooked to the story.  I know some people will enjoy this especially if you are into literary fiction. 

I give this 2 out of 5 stars.

You can purchase this book at amazon.ca
