Review of Good as Gone by Douglas Corleone

Good as Gone on Goodreads
Good as Gone on Amazon

I received my copy of this novel through the Goodreads First-Reads program.

As far as fast paced thrillers go, Douglas Corleone has definitely made a name for himself with this book. I was hooked from beginning to end, wondering what new obstacle would be placed in front of his solid protagonist Simon Fisk. I think that my only gripe would be that the character seemed a little too commendable, and perhaps some rough edges would have rounded him out better, as odd as that may sound.

I have little to no knowledge of the places Corleone takes us in this book, but I was able to see everything through his characters' eyes. The heartbreak and sorrow surrounding families still living from the fallout of Chernobyl is only all to real, and a reminder of one of the most horrific accidents in history.

Fans of James Grippando and Brad Meltzer would probably appreciate this book. I will definitely be seeking out more by this author. Thanks to the author for giving me something so enjoyable to read!
