I was hooked from the beginning. I liked this fast paced book and though I suspected the ending, it still kept me enthralled. Elaine Brogan is a highly likable believable character who gained my sympathy and curiosity as to how she was going to deal with the problems in her life. I was with her from the start.The settings were believable and there was not too much infill with unnecessary descriptions about the settings which I appreciated, as the pace and story kept me focused on the outcome.I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading, detective, thrillers, mystery books.I look forward to reading more of Mike Wells books. MY REVIEWLets start with the narrator: Sue Sharp. She was AMAZING. She was able to switch her voice all around to take on each character. She made the book fun because of how she could manipulate her voice. I look forward to more audiobooks with her narrating.Books 1- Lust, Book 2- Money, Book 3- Murder: We meet a young Elaine Brogan and her father. Her father is in total love with his daughter and wants nothing but the best for her. Becoming a single dad, barely makes the ends meet, he picks up his bootstraps and gets his amazing daughter in a private school and provides emotional support and unconditional love. Elaine is crazy about her father, until the unthinkable happens and Elaine vows that she will set things right for her fathers name, and for her mental health. This is Elaine's only goal in life.When Elaine becomes a Secret Service Agent her first assignment is Great Fall, Montana where she meets her superior and learns very fast that her mentor was right. You will work with individuals that will be challenging. Elaine gets transferred to Sofia, Bulgaria and this is where life starts changing. Elaine is in the land of counterfeit money and finds out that identifying this phoney money is her specialty. Her and her superior, Nick LaGrange begin the hunt for the person responsible for hundreds of thousands of phoney money being distributed. When a lead comes in that could lead them both to career success, a former teacher enters Elaine's life and offers a better opportunity. Elaine is again transferred, this time to DC. But before leaving, Elaine discovers something about herself. While in DC, her former teacher bury her deep in a project that changes her life. After the project is complete, Elaine finds out that life as a secret service agent is not what she had thought. Elaine begins a journey that there is no coming back from. This journey affects everyone in her life that she has come in contact with and will come in contact with. The author, Mike Wells, did a marvelous job telling such a story that has the reader on the edge of their seat with the heart racing. He gives such life to each character and gives the reader a back story that will make the reader more invested in the story, and the characters. The beauty of this book is that author Wells could have kept going and it would not have gotten dull and how it ended was just fantastic.A great book, coupled with a great narrator. This book was without a doubt...A HOT PAGE TURNER
