Review of Murder Make$ The World Go Round
Posted: 26 Aug 2023, 19:20
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Murder Make$ The World Go Round" by Clive Graham Lord.]
Murder Make$ The World Go Round is a crime thriller novel by Clive Graham Lord. It is centered around the art world and crimes that supposedly occur below the surface. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the recruitment of officers and the Art Squad's rebirth. Anita Wu is a high-ranking officer due for a promotion, but a video showing a moment of lapse takes all that away, and she is sent to head the almost non-existent Metropolitan Art Squad department. She is assigned an assistant, Camau, and decides to make the best of her situation.
In the book's second part, the team of Anita and Camau fly to different locations to investigate crimes related to murder and the success and auction sales of single-owner collections. They visit locations like Iceland, Dubai, India, Miami, etc., where some high-profile people have died mysteriously, and their art properties have sold for hundreds of millions of dollars each. Anita deeply suspects foul play, but is she right? I believe there's only one way to find out. The third part sees the squad connecting the dots, crossing the 'T's, and dotting the Is. What shocking revelation awaits them in the end?
Murder Make$ The World Go Round ranks easily among the best books I've read. It was an absolute masterpiece, dutifully incorporating adventure, mystery, service to the country, love, and art. I commend the author on the evident amount of research that appeared obvious from this work. Some of the locations mentioned in this book were real, for instance, the Silfra fissure in Iceland; his ability to weave an eventful plot around this fascinated me. The story is told from the third person's perspective, giving the audience ample time to sit back, observe, and reach their conclusions on events occurring throughout the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially the second part, as I am an adventurist. I was unprepared for how the story ended; who could have ever thought?
While reading this story, I contemplated adding the book's length as a dislike. Still, as I went further, I discovered that the length was necessary for the reader to truly experience the plot and visualize it as a spectator. In that vein, I did not dislike anything in this story; instead, I enjoyed everything, from travelling to investigations. My favourite character is Anita; her role in this story could be compared to that of a phoenix. She did not allow her past to define her, which is a lesson worth learning. I'm rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I spotted a few errors while reading this book; however, they were not enough to affect the reading experience; this book was professionally edited.
I recommend this book to audiences interested in themes like adventure, mystery, crime thrillers, espionage, and stories centered on art. It comes thoroughly recommended by me, as I had a wonderful experience.
