The second Simon Riske book was as good as the first. Entertaining read, liked the plot, interesting characters. Only negative was how the book ended, it was so abrupt. Will be intrigued to see what happens in the next book (I would expect another). I have enjoyed all the books by Christopher Reich and this one was no exception.

Sometimes one just falls in love with the character. I love Simon Riske. Christopher Reich's second work featuring Simon Riske is a jewel. Reich is able to transport his reader into a world filled with glamour, sex, gamboling, cars, and exotic locations. Riske, an independent contractor, seems to be in the right--or wrong--place many times. The work is filled with plot twists. It's quite the read. I hope we see more of Simon Riske.
Much thanks to Hachette Book Group and Net Galley for this electronic copy.

I so thoroughly enjoyed Crown Jewel that I sought out the first book in the Simon Riske duo as soon as I completed Crown Jewel. Christopher Reich provides readers with all the luxury and action in this thriller. Riske is a complex and layered, clear voiced character, easy to like. The situations, though far fetched, were entertaining. This book would be a great beach or airplane read. What fun!
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

Working in a Casino I was drawn to the card game angle and I'm not sure but hey the rest is top notch.
