Publisher's summary

Two brothers who are desperately chasing success get more than they bargained for in this suspenseful cat-and-mouse thriller of wealth, crime, and social climbing.

Two brothers. Three secret service agents. And millions for the taking.

Charlie and Oliver Caruso are brothers who work at Greene and Greene, a private bank so exclusive there's a $2 million minimum to be a client. But when the door of success slams in their faces, the brothers are presented with an offer they can't refuse: $3 million in an abandoned account that can't be traced. It's the perfect victimless crime. Charlie and Oliver opt to take the money, but get much more than they bargained for.

Now, with a lot of extra zeroes in their pockets and a friend found dead, the Secret Service and a female private investigator are closing in. Whose money did they take? How will they stay alive? And why is the Secret Service trying to kill them? Both Charlie and Oliver quickly realize it's not easy being The Millionaires.

Interesting - Cat and Mouse

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It's a good cat and mouse game. The 2 characters Charlie and Oliver, got on my last nerves. Oliver is too gullible and weak minded. Charlie is smart but a pain in the behind. Besides those pet peeves I did enjoy this book and would recommend it if you like a good mystery.

Underwhelming.

It was ok. It filled in the time, but I had to force myself to keep going. Nothing really suspenseful. Quite predictable. Music between sections was a bit ridiculous. If there is nothing else, sure, but I would look further next time.

What a Fun Read!

This book was fun to read. The premise is interesting but the characters make the story, especially the two brothers. If you have a sibling you get these guys. I enjoyed their relationship so much. I found myself laughing at many of their conversations. It just made the story enjoyable. And then, of course, there is Scott Brick's narration. I truly think he is my favorite narrator.

Got some time? Want to breeze through a story and have fun? Listen to "The Millionaires."

Now this is a book!

Many stories have plotholes or things that don't belong; Brad Meltzer crafted a story without the unnecessary. This makes for a stupendous book!
