The New Friends by Daniel Hurst

 



Review

Daniel Hurst releases a new thriller almost every month with new ideas, new excitement.  He’s become one of my favorite writers, I know I can not be disappointed when I take his book off the shelf.

In stories like this, we usually cheer for the rogue, but in this book, we’re excited they catch the swindler who wins his worthy punishment.  I think there would have been an easier way to do this than described in the book, but the story had to be a little complicated to make it even more exciting and enjoyable.  I did find the protagonists a little naive, even though I have been deceived by scammers already as well.

Despite the above, I felt the story was a bit average, as if it was important for the writer to write as many so books as possible that would be published, and not to write a really great thriller instead.  These books are fun, I get excited and smile as I read them, but none of them leave a lasting impression on me, I forget about them the next day.  Yet I feel he has the knowledge and ability to write a book that would put him at the forefront of bestseller writers.
