Family Money

By: Chad Zunker

Narrated by: Kris Koscheski

A dead man’s secrets put a family in peril in a twisting novel of suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of the David Adams series.

Alex Mahan is married to his high school sweetheart, Taylor. They have two daughters and a beautiful home, and Alex’s startup business is about to explode thanks to massive private funding from his compassionate and supportive father-in-law, Joe. With millions more to come, all is perfect - until Joe is abducted and murdered during a family trip in Mexico.

Alex’s world is about to be turned upside down. He can’t bear to tell his grieving wife why. The man they’ve both idolized has been keeping secrets. The pledged millions are nowhere to be found. The source of the original investment is a mystery, even to Joe’s financial adviser. No one, it seems, has any idea who the man they knew, loved, and trusted really was.

As Alex digs deeper into Joe’s shadowy life, the most shocking surprises are yet to come. Deadly ones, too, because every lie that Alex uncovers in Joe’s dark past puts his family in more danger.

Critic reviews

“The action barrels along to a shocking conclusion…Zunker knows how to keep the reader hooked.”—Publishers Weekly

Non stop

The action started early in the story and went on throughout. Parts of the storyline aren't believable but it IS fiction!

Wonderful!

What a Wonderful Book! Excellent storyline and Really interesting, loveable characters. ( Also, no lurid sex scenes and no lectures on God not existing.) I thought I had it all figured out about one third of the way through, but boy was I wrong. I love Chad Zunker!

I liked it

I was sucked right in as the action happened immediately. It was easy to figure out part of the story but it was still gripping. I’m not a fan of Alex lying to his wife, I understand why he did it but I still wasn’t a fan of him doing that. I liked the flashback stories, it brought depth to the characters and their stories. The whole story is far fetched but I liked it!

Suspense! Adventure!

I loved this story! The author kept the story moving, and I was hanging on to every word. I just wanted to devour this book. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a story captivate me as this one did. The narration was excellent! I will look for more stories by this author and narrator. Definitely a keeper!

Pretty fun!

This was a random purchase, because the cover is pretty and I love a good thriller—it did not disappoint. It started out slowly, drawing me into the main character’s world and circumstances, managing to be interesting enough.

Before long, it became very mysterious and from there it was fast-paced with just a smidge of danger.

Based on this read, I’d like to explore more from this author. While it was predictable, and a couple minor points posed plausibility issues for me, overall it did keep me entertained.

4 stars.
