Review of Money Faucet
Posted: 10 Aug 2021, 02:43
[Following is a volunteer review of "Money Faucet" by Joe Calderwood.]
Have you ever felt trapped by a situation you got yourself into? If you have, then you will understand Clint Kennedy in the book Money Faucet, the second book in The Clint Kennedy Crime Series written by Joe Calderwood. He got himself involved with drug cartels.
Clint was raised by David and Candace. They treated him like he was their son, though they weren't his biological parents. They had two sons, Abe and Jack. Jack the younger son, was of the same age group as Clint, so they became best friends from childhood. Abe, the eldest, bullied both of them from when they were children. He embezzled money from his father's business and was sent to prison for it. The father, David, had a severe stroke. When he recovered, he decided to change his will. In his will, he left Abe monthly stipends on conditions, they all knew would be difficult for him to accept. He sent Jack and Clint to make him agree to the terms of the will and sign. On their first visit, Abe was mocking and insulting as usual and even went as far as threatening to expose their source of income. Clint had to report to Pablo, the drug cartel he worked for, and Abe's pinky finger was cut. This and other disturbing occurrences, made him decide to cut ties with the drug cartel, which was risky and difficult. But, did he leave? Could he bear the things that could happen, if he goes ahead with his decision?
Clint was what he called a good criminal. This was in a way true for even though he was involved with the drug cartels, he did not approve of some of their ways. When Abe's pinky finger was cut, his conscience pricked him too hard for a criminal. His care for the old man whom he was appointed guardian to, was endearing.
There is only one thing that I disliked in the book. The book's narrative was written on a first-person basis, so sometimes, I found myself confused and unable to discern which character was talked about. If the author had written the name, at the beginning of each passage, of the character being talked about, it would have made it easier for me. I think that some readers will have the same issue or problem with the book. Aside from this, the plot of the book interested me. The suspense was not too much, nor was it boring. It was enough to keep a reader interested and reading.
I thereby rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It was exceptionally edited. I found no errors in the book. I recommend this book for lovers of crime thrillers. The book contains profanities, so I would not recommend it for underage readers.
