A solid little crime novel but nothing special in the end. A strong start withers as the story of a Wall Street insider, brought down by greed and imprisoned, turned art con-man upon his release from jail tries to scam his former rich friends in order to get back on his feet. A nice twist in the middle allows for some plausible romance and unexpected revenge but heavy exposition and slightly flat characters take a lot of the fun out of this page turner. Mickey Outside by David LenderThis was a decent read. I give it 3 1/2 stars. I am happy with the result...even though it seems that it may not exactly be the end of the story in one respect ;) An interesting scheme, straightforward and entertaining. I enjoyed the characters and their connections. I took my time with it. It wasn't a story that made me feel like I had to race through to see what would happen and that's okay. A nice relaxing con with vengeance the goal, aimed at a richly deserving antagonist. A pleasure. Looking forward to more from this author. I did not catch any editing problems with the book. Refreshing!I recommend this to anyone who enjoys this genre. Good read :)
What do You think about Mickey Outside (2014)?
It did not hold my interest. I stopped reading it a few chapters in.
