For 2024 the aim remains to post a review at least every other Friday and to complete the Bookpacking reading journey.

A: Conman by Richard ASPLIN

Chosen because

Good blurb; intriguing start with “now” that entices you in to discover what has happened to get the narrator in this position.

The Review

Enjoyable fluent writing style with some cracking turns of phrase. However, the ability to maintain credibility in the main character’s actions could not last the rather over long 400+ pages. After page 200 or realisation sets in that nothing can be taken at face value, which rather undermines the remaining twists and turns.

Read another?

Yes, if not as thick
