Reading thrillers can be fun, especially if they are set in a world that you find fascinating and fortunately, for me, this was the case with DUE DILIGENCE. This thriller being set in the world of high finance went a long way in proving that people with more money always seem to *need* even more.

DUE DILIGENCE introduces us to two of the most greedy main characters I have ever met - Investment bank Dyson Whitney and CEO Mike Wilson. As Wilson suddenly becomes highly interested in participating in a deal to obtain BritEnergy, you can actually see the wheels spinning out of control - which will set the plot for a very entertaining novel about people with too much money and absolutely no conscience.

However, all is not lost as Rob Holding enters the mix - hired to complete the standard due diligence on the entire deal, he finds some very odd things and, when he brings them to his employer, things start to spiral out of control in a very dangerous way.

This story is fast paced, for the most part, and gives us an exclusive insider view of just how corrupt and horrible these huge institutions (and those who run them) can truly be.

I can't count the number of times I found myself nodding my head in disbelief at what I was reading - yet, at the same time, I had no problems believing it.

This book is both shocking and lots of fun and is written for the layperson in mind. You won't have to run to your finance dictionary every time you read a sentence
