Gripping, devious and interesting

I read The Money Stones in one go. It's not a difficult book to read and although some of the characters are manipulated by the author to achieve his aim, I believe that the story flows very well and it's twists and turns, crosses and double crosses are handled in a very expert manner. One would almost think that the author has personal experience of such shenanigans. The story is about a confidence trick, somewhere along the lines of Jeffery Archer's Not a Penny More Not a Penny Less, with the exception that the story unfolds not out of revenge but out of greed. I enjoyed reading this book very much and if you're looking for a book that is entertaining and written in an easy style then this is the book for you.
