Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

Single mother Amy Parkens feels trapped by a boring job, low pay, and no time for her young daughter. But that's before $200,000 in cold, hard cash arrives in an unmarked box. Desperately needing the money, Amy fears a setup or a connection to her mother's suicide 20 years earlier. So she sets out to find the source.

A decent, responsible small-town doctor, Ryan Duffy didn't expect to inherit a fortune from his electrician father, who had millions stashed away in the attic. Did it come from extortion, robbery, or some other terrible crime? Painful as it is, Ryan is drawn to his father's dark past, determined to find the truth.

Desperate for answers, Amy and Ryan soon cross paths on a dangerous quest that takes them through a labyrinth of deception and blackmail - leading them to a man of unfathomable power who holds the key to their fortunes...and their lives.

I won't lie, the main reason I chose to listen to Found Money was because of George Guidall. While a bit fantastic and unbelievable, Found Money was nonetheless entertaining. Recommend if your looking for an easy, fast paced thriller. I can easily see this being 4 stars if the characters were developed a bit more.

This review may be skewed by the fact that George Guidall read Found Money to me. Fairly sure I would enjoy hearing him read grocery lists. Hard to believe a little over a year ago I never thought I would enjoy audiobooks. ( )

This is the first book by James Grippano for me. Found Money, the audio version just seemed so contrived. I did not like the ending. It seemed to me that it may have been figured out before the rest of the story was written!

Amy Parkins is a single mother working long hours and feeling guilty about not seeing her daughter more. Her mother had died about twenty years under mysterious circumstances that Amy never felt comfortable with. Gram was taking care of Amy’s daughter while she worked. One day, Amy receives a box filled with money.

Ryan Duffy is a physician who inherits several millions from his father who he thought was barely making it financially. His father told him that he had done something that he was ashamed of in the past but wouldn’t say what it was.

Both Amy and Ryan set out to discover the secrets behind the money so they can decide with their conscience whether or not to keep it. They find out that their secrets are intertwined.

There is danger and intrigue but I was very disappointed in this story. It was so planned even with some strange twists thrown in. I don’t feel like I can recommend it. ( )
