Only the ruthless can play by John Burke.
This was a good read. Little slow but I was able to read it. Ok story. 4*.

Book received from NetGalley.

I was not a fan of this book, the premise was a bit strange to me. I also didn't care for the main character's attitude to women or the fact that he was cheating on his wife because she changed too much and was too demanding. It wasn't for me.

Loved the concept of the book, however I found the characters to be rather shallow and couldn't relate to them which made for tough reading. The heavy description of the factory and engineering company slowed down what actually was a good "whodunnit" story line, it also felt rather dated and overly descriptive. I often confused the characters and felt I had to go back and remember who was who.
Would love to read more by the author - and would definitely recommend this book to others, despite not overly enjoying it myself.
