Review of The Money-Go-Round
Posted: 08 May 2023, 11:59
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Money-Go-Round" by C.J.Neill.]
Randall had created the Property Investment Group and used it to defraud innocent investors who thought they were paving the way for their future. The business suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace, with people's money gone and prosecution awaiting some victims.
Max Stephens, a freelance journalist, was fortunate to be at the hearing at the RCJ. He started researching the case and found out that it was bigger than he thought. At the peak of his career, Max lost his father, which inevitably made him lose his position with his wife and dog. Without a wife and dog and possible bankruptcy, he pushed on to research the Property Investment Group's sudden disappearance, as he was sure it would sell well and possibly raise his status.
I really enjoyed The Money-Go-Round and found many positive aspects to it. I liked how the characters were described. The bald-headed man in Chapter 2 was clearly described in a way to indirectly tell us that he trained really well and should be guilty of the crimes he was charged with. C. J. Neill used the points of view of different characters to tell the story, and he also included dates in each chapter, as he employed the use of flashbacks in the book. Flashback was mostly used to explain how Randall had started his business and just about everything he'd done.
I learned some valuable things from the book. To be able to win and stand out, one must use a strategy different from all the others. The Property Investment Group used a pig as the emblem of its company because people easily recognized and were familiar with piggy banks. Also, during their events, they gave free lunches and extended the time to prevent guests from leaving. This way, they baited more guests into the scheme. I learned that visualizing something or making a diagram of the problem, more like a storyboard, can help get quicker solutions. An example from the book is Max's whiteboard, where he drew circles and put in the names of people and their connections. This helped a lot with his research. I also learned some telltale signs that give people's secrets away. You should definitely read this book.
This was a really interesting read, and I did not find many errors in the book. Therefore, I will happily rate it five out of five stars. I did not deduct any stars from my rating because the book did not contain any negative aspects. I highly recommend it to thriller fans.
