Joseph Finder's THE OLIGARCH'S DAUGHTER
Book Review
Joseph Finder’s seventeenth novel, out today in hardcover, eBook and audio (narrated by Mark Bramhall).
I was fortunate enough to snag an early copy of Joseph Finder’s The Oligarch’s Daughter, an action-packed, character-driven page-swiper (for you eBook people), hitting bookshops today for regular people who are not fortunate enough to snag early copies.
As a reminder of Finder’s skill, the protagonist is likable despite his being a hedge fund manager. The story jumps back and forth between present day, which finds our hero pursued by Russian thugs, and the recent past, where the unknowing sap initiates his courtship with the title character.
Marriage is a great thing, and if I can ever figure out why I might give it another whirl. Finder’s exciting seventeenth novel reminds us to be careful what we marry into.
