Description
After billionaire philanthropist Sam Montgomery announces he has been diagnosed with leukemia he makes the startling comment that, “I’d rather die than receive a bone marrow transplant from my sister.”
Not only did no one know Sam had a sister, but everyone wanted to know why. Sam agrees to a sit down interview with magazine reporter Eleni Diamante, who is flown out to his private home on the tiny Greek island of Antikythera.
She is there to not only find out about the history of his sister but attempt to view inside Sam’s rumored multi-million dollar impenetrable home vault, that is said to protect upwards of a billion dollars worth of artifacts.
THE VAULT only opens up once a year, Eleni will be there, and inside Sam keeps an artifact so precious and valuable it may be the only thing that saves his life, or ends it even quicker.
THE VAULT uses actual text messages, family photos photo’s, and external links to help tell Sam Montgomery’s secretive story.

I wavered on the star choice for The Vault. On one hand, Brian Harrison has given readers a really strong character driven novel, on the other hand, there are only two characters interacting for the majority of the book. The wonderfully complex and layered billionaire is a tortured soul with family drama. The journalist he chooses to interview him before he dies, has her own personal dramas to contend with as well as some ulterior motives. I really appreciated that Mr Harrison went to great lengths to create "background" for our billionaire, including Twitter for him and his company, Facebook, LinkeIn profile, emails, text messages and print and electronic articles.
What caused me to waver was that the plot seemed unbalanced to me, I kept waiting for twists and surprises, based on the synopsis, and they just weren't happening. The solutions to the "mysteries" of our billionaire's family life/death and the contents of his (im)famous vault weren't strong enough. The book is entertaining, it held my interest, I couldn't stop and start at will, and I definitely wanted to read to the end, so I went with 4 stars.
