Book Notices | The Oligarch's Daughter by Joseph Finder

Joseph Finder, The Oligarch's Daughter

Amazon   Paul Brightman, a brilliant finance guy, marries the titular daughter of a Russian oligarch and soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that leaves a growing number of people dead. Brightman's entanglements ultimately lead to his living on the lam under a false identity. We know this from the get-go because the story oscillates between the present time and the events of 5-6 years earlier that culminated in his going into hiding. The Oligarch's Daughter is an entertaining read, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I have some of Finder's previous thrillers. Perhaps it's because I blame Brightman for becoming involved in such a clearly problematic situation in the first place.
