The Downside by Mike Cooper

4.0

Wow! I just finished THE DOWNSIDE and fell in love with Finn who is definitely an old school criminal. No computers for him. In fact, he reminds me of guys that you will meet in your local neighborhood bar after their shift except for the fact that he tends to get paid a lot more when things go right. And it's his turn for things to go right.



I do have to say that Mr. Cooper does a brilliant job with his characters. Some of them you will click with, others not so much. Just like the folks that you meet in real life. Along with Finn, I really liked the characters of the hacker Nicola and Corman who is a jack of a lot of trades.


The reader is given the inside view to a caper that definitely involves some heavy lifting. We get to see as all the details fall into place as the big night comes closer and closer. We even get to join the gang as the heist takes place. A lot of twists and turns as the tension ratchets up.


I would recommend THE DOWNSIDE to any of my readers who enjoy a good thriller or crime drama. Personally I am hoping to see some more books with Finn and his crew.
