Les Carroll does an amazing job in writing this book, it had that elmeent that I was looking for and was engaged from start to finish. It was everything that I was expecting and enjoyed about this type of book. It worked well as a tense storyline and worked well in the genre, I was invested in what was happening with the characters and how they worked in the storyline.

Charlie Minto's Pyramid Scheme offers a fast-paced and emotionally charged thriller that delves into the complexities of justice, revenge, and personal morality. The protagonist, Charlie Minto, is a compelling character torn between his burgeoning legal career and a dangerous side job that challenges his ethical boundaries. The narrative is filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping readers engaged throughout.

While the novel's ambitious scope attempts to blend elements of legal drama and suspense, some aspects may feel contrived or overly complex. However, the inclusion of Alicia's diary entries adds depth and intrigue, providing insights into the characters' motivations and the unfolding mystery.
