The book takes place in Colorado and, as a resident, I found several facts in the book that were not accurate. At times, we have 10% humidity in the summer, yet the book referred several times to the "sticky" heat. Also, the town of Rocky Ford is famous for the cantelope that is grown there and is known as the "melon capital" of Colorado. Imagine my surprise when the book talked about the "watermelon" festival. Not so, Mr. Grippando. There were several other references that overall were small, but detracted nonetheless from the authenticity.

I have found another author who I can turn to who I know I will enjoy any of his books. FOUND MONEY does not disappoint! Just when you think you have gotten the plot figured out, the author suddenly takes you in a direction you never expected. This one kept me on the edge of my seat.

Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: A ludicrous plot involving people who do not act rationally Review: I believe this is the third book by this author that I have read and I did enjoy the earlier books.I have also read the Amazon reprints of the various book review publications as well as several reader reviews.We must have been reading different books.Usually a book is called "over the top" when the plot requires you to suspend belief, but the book is otherwise entertaining. The only words to describe this book would be ludicrous and preposterous. The plot flaws(after you have finished think back on such things as the woman in the bar in Panama and how she could have ended up there) are one thing, but the last 40 or 50 pages involve people doing things that no one in the world (even in thrillers) would consider doing. For example, "meet me at the dam at 2AM". This is a dam 50 miles away in the middle of nowhere. Then there is one denouement after the other, until the final one which is ridiculous. PULEEEZ--GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

He ties everything up neatly at the end. Why Hollywood has not put this to screen surprises me.
I plan on reading more of his novels.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: A good read but...... Review: I enjoyed the book but found it a little lacking to the others of his I have read. Possibly it is me and I suffer to many thrillers and serial killers, hard to say. Still all in all a very good story well ploted out with Colorado as a good background and two nice people that deserved more than they had received in life. I would recommend the book actually on its fine readability.
