Money Faucet is a thrilling crime novel; the second book in The Clint Kennedy crime series, written by Joe Calderwood.

The book tells the story of Clint Kennedy, a young drug money dealer, after he walks in on a dead lawyer— one he was supposed to have a meeting with. We're then taken back in time, to the days before, and leading up to the incident.

Through this, one is made to experience the pros and cons of the drug world, an interesting family setting, friendship, a little romance, and corruption amongst persons in the corporate world. The main character, despite his choice of profession, is soft, emotional and considerate. Very likeable and understandable; a well-developed, multi-dimensional character.

Joe Calderwood really does justice to Clint Kennedy with the professional and beautiful way he tells his story. His use of diction is impressive, and the story simply flows, not being too fast-paced or slow-paced. He also manages to occasionally spice the book with humour, despite its intensity. It is effectively edited, to an extent it's almost rid of typographical errors, kudos to the editor.

My favourite thing about Money Faucet is the diligent way it says, "Greed has/could have dire consequences." The message is passed in an indirect, yet obvious way.

When I first started reading, it didn't take me long to get confused. The first chapter is written in first-person narrative, Clint's pov, so I expected the same of the remaining chapters, but it turned out, the story is written using both first-person and third-person narrative. That is something I've never experienced, and an inadvisable act, on my part. But I understand because it seems that was the only way out for a book of its nature.

I rate this book four out of four stars. It is an amazing crime fiction book that delivers well; with its correct grammar, well-crafted cover, diverse characters and intriguing plot. And although I am not a fan of the Crime fiction genre, I'm thoroughly moved. I plan to see how Clint's story ends, and to read more crime fictions from now on.

I highly recommend this book to lovers of books on concerning the drug world and drug lords, and also to people who do not mind a little vulgarity; which of course, can't be avoided by kind of people the book contains.

Monet Faucet is simply two hundred and nine pages of magic.

The main character is not the typical "good guy." Interesting. Thanks for the insights.
