Cardiac: A Jack Getty Thriller by Jeffrey MonaghanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a new book from a new author and I greatly enjoyed reading it. As a thriller it had all of the expected ingredients one hopes to find: an intriguing plot with plenty of twists and turns; strong characters in Jack Getty and his family; believable dialogue throughout the novel and a fast moving, action-packed story with many unpredictable situations that drew me in. Most importantly for me, I was immediately captivated by the beginning of the book and happy with the final denouement at the end. It left me curious to know more about Jack Getty in a future sequel maybe?
When Jack wakes up in hospital after an apparent heart attack, during his company’s launch of a new product, his troubles are only just beginning. The intimidation and life-threatening issues that persist in chasing him and eventually his loved ones, become more and more complex page after page, demanding the reader’s attention. If you enjoy thrillers written by authors like Tom Clancy and Frederick Forsythe then you will become a fan of Jeffrey Monaghan. I found a couple of sentences where the time frame confused me and another glance at the book by a copy editor is needed to clear up some typo/punctuation errors. These latter points prevented me giving this talented and imaginative writer five stars for his excellent debut thriller.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
