Dealing with a mental illness can be a challenge. I wonder how Danny will be able to handle his new life in both financial and romantic ways. Thanks for the review!

Environment shapes up our character. I can see why Bruno was at times tempted to apply his street life experience in some situations sometimes. Good that he made a decision to do something good in life. Excellent review congrats on BOTD

This thriller novel focuses on the depiction of mental illness. Bruno Marchesi has had a tough childhood, having been born in a family involved in crime activities while he suffer from depression. I’m interested in seeing the main character his dream of having a fulfilling life. Congrats on botd!

Based on the review, the book seems a bit unrealistic which might make it difficult for some people to take seriously and lose their attention. The scenario seems highly unlikely and that maybe too many concepts are brought into play. For example how the grandmother is briefly mentioned and that is why the main character despises cheating men, seems like something that really just clutters the main points of the story. It would be interesting to find out how the author portrays mental illness though and if adequate research was done on the topic.

I love the plot of this book. Wow! Falling in love with your bosses’ mistress? That calls for trouble. I wonder what will happen at the end, will he fight for her or not?

Great review!

I have to read this one. It looks like an interesting crime thriller that digs into the mind of the protagonist in a suspenseful story.

I am indeed very fascinated by the plot and I cannot wait to get to read this book. These kinds of stories related with daily issues faced by an ordinary man, are obviously closely related to our own lives.

The author is commendable for creating a character such as Bruno. He is inspiring int he sense that he did not allow the environment that he is in to corrupt further his life, instead he took effort to change his life and to ensure that he will give his future family a clean and respectable life. Congrats BOTD!

Bruno made sure to keep his ball off the hook, by coming clean to the society he lived in. It was a tough one as depression sometimes took care of him and seized all confidence.
Danny protrayed a life lost to addiction yet giving hope to someone who's trying hard to free himself from the addiction grip. A must read.

I love thrillers in general; however, the elements of mental illness make me hesitant to take up this book. Thank you for your detailed review!

422: Scandalous by Danny Range is a wonderful thriller exploring the themes of crime, family, mental illness, suicide and drug abuse. Bruno is the main character who is easily relatable. He wants to be independent by moving far away from his family. Let's just say he wants to become rich legally.
