The Oligarch's Daughter
By Joseph Finder
Release Date: January 28, 2025
Ebook Available from WV Reads!
3.5 Stars - A fun thriller that's part spy, part political, and part financial thriller. Our hero is a man with a dark past and on the run who goes by different identities and never knows whom to trust. Paul is an easy going finance analyst who happens to meet a beautiful artist and things go awry. The book was an easy read as far as Finder's fast pace, short chaptered, and heavy on the dialouge style. But it did feel a little long at times and maybe could have stood a few cuts. The timeline jumps between past and present, telling two different stories. Sometimes the pacing felt just a bit off. And I would've preferred to have at least a few more likable/fleshed out side characters. Paul's the narrator and the star of the show though. The end is full of crazy twists and sure to shock quite a few readers.
