Framed by Dale Cahoon is a book that tells the story of Phillip Chambers, who graduated from Harvard Law School and acquired a job at a law firm. He was happily surprised to get a higher-than-usual salary. He soon received an assignment to accompany his boss as his assistant on a mission to Dubai. The company covered his expenses and gave him a card with no limit. There, he was asked to deliver a package to a certain place with specific directions. He didn't know what was in the package. He did as he was asked, only to find out later that this was probably the biggest mistake of his life. You can grab the book to go with Phillip Chambers through this adventure and learn what happened to him and how he reacted.

I like that the book wasn't boring and kept me looking forward to seeing what would happen next. The writer has a good style that will keep you going. I like the team spirit that formed between the involved members. They were fun to be around. The good descriptions of the writer gave me the feeling that I was accompanying all of them on their journey. I liked that everyone was doing what they could to help. People were sincere with each other. That was good to see, even if it was in a novel. I like how determined Chambers was and that he never gave up. He was lucky enough to meet all the right people in the right places.

I didn't like how people randomly accepted cooperating in suspicious activities with people they didn't know. It felt unreal. People won't usually deliver packages or follow other people without asking questions. People won't go play roles in real life for people they don't know. It was needed for the story, but it was a little bit naive. Also, the errors in the book were too many to be tolerable. Many of them don't need an expert's eye to be noticed. The book could definitely have used some rounds of editing.

I enjoyed the book and the thrill it contained. The story wasn't out of this world, but it was enjoyable. There were some errors that could have been easily fixed. Therefore, I rate Framed by Dale Cahoon four out of five stars.

I recommend the book to people who like thrillers. The plot is simple but enjoyable. You can enjoy the details the writer has put in the book to solve the case.

Looks like someone took advantage of Phillip for some illegal deed. His behavior was naive and I wonder why he accepted to deliver the package. Thank you for your great review!
