Summary: "FOUND" - New Favorite Suspense Author
Review: This is my first book from James Grippando but certainly won't be the last. The book starts with a bang and it builds momentum.When Ryan's father died, he left him 2 million dollars in the attic. It is up to Ryan to figure out where and how his father got his hand on so much cash. At the time that Ryan is learning about this unexpected inheritance, Amy Parkens whose mother died of a suicide 20 years ago receives two hundred thousand from Ryan's father. Ryan and Amy are drawn together in order to solve the mystery of who was Frank Duffy. Without giving the plot, I have to say that this was one of the quickest books I have ever read because I gobbled up 450 pages in less than 3 days (a record for me). Once Ryan and Amy start searching for answers they stir the pot and pretty soon you have an ex-wife, slimy lawyer, malicious brother-in-law and a miserable sister, all dying to get their hands on the money. Well you can guess how the book progresses, each time you think you have figured out who is guilty or who is not, Grippando surprises us with another twist. This was truly a good book that left me wanting to read all his books.

Summary: James Grippando excels with "Found Money"
Review: What would you do if someone delivered a package to your door containing $200,000? Would you stash it away or would you launch a search to find out where the money originated? This is the plot in James Grippando's new novel "Found Money" (HarperCollins $25). When I first began to read "Found Money" I found the plot a bit irritating. After all, wouldn't you want to secure the cash before jeopardizing it by asking questions? But Grippando is such a talented writer I had to see where he was going with the story. I'm glad I did because he weaves a fully believable tale that will stay with you long after you finish the book. "Found Money" begins when Amy Parkins finds $200,000 in cash in a cardboard box delivered to her door. In the meantine, Ryan Duffy inherits a fortune from his penniless father. Amy and Ryan, who have never met, soon cross paths to discover that found money can be a treasure or an atrocity. Ryan and Amy discover horrifying crimes that touched their families years ago and must solve a perilous puzzle to learn the truth. Just when you think you have read Grippando's best work, he tops it with another spellbinding novel that will keep you reading well into the night to reach the dramatic conclusion.
