This dreary caper tale of an investment advisor who disappears with $103 million of his clients' funds, never really caught fire for me.

The biggest problem was that there was no one to root for. All the characters were either selfish, whiny, manipulative, or larcenous -- and frequently some combination of all of the above. If I hadn't been reading this as part of a book challenge, I wouldn't have finished it.

At first i enjoyed it but after a while I stopped liking any of the characters or even caring what happened to them.

I loved the author's "None of Your Business" so much that I got another copy after lending mine out. This one, not so much. Diane programs a Village revival house cinema and has apartment problems and man problems. One relationship was especially distasteful.
