Greed Among Friends by Van Tellfaster is a fictional literary genre that pictures greed, financial crime, and suspense-filled uncovering. It’s a business world, and one key thing in this world is trust, and a slight hint of a break would drive anyone to any length to get rid of the object. Simonton is suspicious after the information about the theft gets to him. He can’t pin his suspects down himself, so he hires the services of a top investigation firm. The book uncovers the result of this investigation.

Laura is a young ex-cop who left the police to become a private investigator, she had never hit the point of leading an investigation in her career, but things soon took a different swerve. She got involved as lead investigator in a back-breaking case. This case takes her on a mountain climb in her career. Solving this puzzle of a case would determine the rest of her career’s fate.

I admire mind-blowing literary pieces such as this, and for this particular one, there’s an unending line to what I admire about it. Firstly, the author’s keen narrative and descriptive techniques are applied in the book. The author spared no detail from the beginning of the book to the end. We don’t get to any point where we can't trace where we began and left off. I bet you could leave the book for a day and get back and continue on a coherent flow of ideas.

For me, the climax of the story seemed to be the revelation of Kim Streusel. It was painted in the book that the embezzlement was done so that no one would find out. Even if someone were going to uncover their tracks, it wouldn’t be Kim.

There were so many ideas in the book that, without sentiments, I could say I couldn’t pick out a negative point. It gives you no idea of the next move. The suspense leaves you hanging onto more open pages and not even a slight dull moment for the reader.

This book left me glued to my seat and not wanting to move up. It could do the same to you. For being so addictive, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It appears professionally edited with a few errors. I recommend this book to lovers of mind-engaging novels, investigators, crime scene lovers, anyone taking or willing to take a course in crime deciphering, and largely fictional novel lovers. If you want a sharpened and investigative mind, take my invitation and read Greed Among Friends.

This is a great review. It left me wondering about Laura and her career. I also want to know more about Kim. Sometimes people are just “lucky” when it comes to hiding their tracks. It just happens to be so twisted that its really hard to uncover.
