Review of Morrow's Con
[Following is a volunteer review of "Morrow's Con" by Earl James.]
Morrow's Con: Opening Gambit, by Earl James, is an action-filled story of one man, Morrow, and his efforts to get out of the criminal life. Unfortunately, this character gets wrapped up in a dangerous plot involving the theft of a famous painting. Morrow is the mastermind of the whole operation and is depending on the working abilities of the different members to rob the masterpiece. As the clock ticks away, they are met with many obstacles that push them to their limit.
The most interesting part for me about the story is how the issue of trust is handled. Morrow needs to rely on his crew, but their trust can be easily broken. Throughout the whole book, there are parts where you will hesitate for a moment whether the group is going to be together or not. The relationship between Tara and Arthur and Morrow and other characters is marked by tension. The way they talk to each other implies that they are not always on the same page, but still, they have a certain level of mutual respect.
Morrow as a character is both smart and cautious. Despite being affiliated with a crime boss, he dislikes violence; that’s why he is more liked by people. I, for one, was on his side, as he seemed to me to be someone who could escape difficult situations using his wit. The more the story progressed, the more I was interested in the outcome of the heist, especially showing that the plan was harder to execute.
One of the things that I really liked about this book is the fact that the story is always moving forward. The first pages seem to be a little slow, but here, the story increases the pace, and the heist is dramatized by a countdown. I also liked the fact that the dialogs were pretty realistic. The conversations are very natural, and each character speaks in a way that matches their personality.
The author did a good job of keeping the story exciting. I felt like I was watching an action movie, especially during the heist scenes. There’s a lot of clever planning and tricky situations that kept me hooked. Even though there were some violent parts, they weren’t too much, and they fit well with the story. I didn’t find any problems with the writing. Everything was clear, and I didn’t notice any errors. The book was well edited, which made it easy to read.
Finally, I give Morrow's Con: Opening Gambit 5 out of 5. This is a really exciting story with great characters and a real plot twist. For you action lovers who enjoy well-devised plots with many twists, this book is a must-have.
