Summary

7 hours， 14 minutes

A bold new stand-alone thriller from the longtime James Patterson coauthor。

It’s summer in New York City and Faye Walker has it all。 She’s not only scored one of the most highly coveted internships on all of Wall Street， she’s also just met the head-over-heels love of her life。 With her natural-born gift for numbers and a work ethic that knows no bounds， Faye is a shoo-in for a full-time position at the illustrious merchant bank Greene Brothers Hale。 Then， just as she awaits her offer and her signing bonus， a treacherous betrayal arrives to shatter Faye’s plans and her young life。

But what her high finance masters-of-the-universe bosses don’t know is that Faye isn’t like any of the other interns。 Having made her way past her humble small-town beginnings， for Faye， going back is not an option。 That’s why Faye now has a new plan。 One that involves Swiss watch timing， nerves of steel and ten million dollars in cold hard Wall Street cash。

Whew！This book was definitely fast paced， and the plot was full of twists and turns。 Unfortunately， for me the story was so convoluted that it was unbelievable and that really took away from my enjoyment。 The author has great knowledge of New York City， the train system and the roadways， but in the current climate I find it difficult to believe that someone could have gotten around the area undetected。 I can’t give specifics because it would ruin the experience for others。 To believe that an int Whew！This book was definitely fast paced， and the plot was full of twists and turns。 Unfortunately， for me the story was so convoluted that it was unbelievable and that really took away from my enjoyment。 The author has great knowledge of New York City， the train system and the roadways， but in the current climate I find it difficult to believe that someone could have gotten around the area undetected。 I can’t give specifics because it would ruin the experience for others。 To believe that an intern from Kentucky with no training was able to formulate the plan and execute was just beyond belief for me。Thanks to the author， publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book， but my opinions are my own。 。。。more

I can honestly say I have no idea what to make of this book。

I discovered Michael Ledwidge through his work on the Michael Bennett series books that he wrote for Patterson。 Yes， that’s right， I am one of those who knows that Patterson’s many co-authors are the true authors of his co-authored books。 I am also a fan of Ledwidge’s Micheal Gannon series too。 Ledwidge is a good writer and storyteller。Anyway， the book summary lays out the primary storyline， but what the book summary doesn’t reveal is that the “treacherous betrayal” that is inflicted on Faye is I discovered Michael Ledwidge through his work on the Michael Bennett series books that he wrote for Patterson。 Yes， that’s right， I am one of those who knows that Patterson’s many co-authors are the true authors of his co-authored books。 I am also a fan of Ledwidge’s Micheal Gannon series too。 Ledwidge is a good writer and storyteller。Anyway， the book summary lays out the primary storyline， but what the book summary doesn’t reveal is that the “treacherous betrayal” that is inflicted on Faye is by a colleague， Priscilla， whose job Faye saved when she caught a HUGE mistake Priscilla made。 Faye corrected Priscilla’s mistake before Priscilla got caught for it and fired。 Priscilla proceeds to sleep with the boss in order to get the last coveted spot that the bank offers to the best intern， which was Faye， not Priscella。 Priscella was just a rich， stupid， debutante who decided to sleep her way into the spot。 The other spot was a total nepo selection， a rich kid and star athlete from the founder’s alma mater， Duke。 Faye learns some hard lessons that day。 In the world of high finance and international banking， on Wall Street， merit meant jack$#*！。 Ledwidge said it perfectly when he wrote: “People talked about a glass ceiling for women， but that wasn’t it。 It wasn’t a glass ceiling for women I saw now。 It was a class ceiling。 For everyone。 There was a class that you had to be born into。”There is also a secondary storyline about Faye’s boyfriend， Cavan， who is trying to get a green card （he’s from Ireland） before his work visa expires and he has to go back to Ireland。 Cavan is cabbie for a horse drawn carriage company while he tries to find a first responder trainee job。 There is also another secondary storyline where Faye is trying to get her younger sister out of the hollers of KY and up to NY with her。 Faye and her sister were raised by their grandmother after their mother died of cancer and their father went to prison for drug trafficking。 None of that is a spoiler since it transpires really early in the story。 However， Faye is an extremely gifted and intelligent woman with just enough of a scrappy attitude to devise a way to walk away with her hard-earned “severance package” as well as take care of her sister and set her and Cavan up。 She enlists the help of a junkie， the estranged son of a wealthy client， to assist her in her plan and what a plan it was！ Faye’s plan reminded me of something one would see in a Mission Impossible movie with Faye playing the lead role。Most of the story revolves around putting the plan into place and setting up all the parts of the plan to go off perfectly on the big day – and it does go off perfectly！ Almost。 It's well into the second half of the story that the plan goes completely off the tracks （literally） in a shocking scene。 The end comes pretty fast after that in a handful of scary and intense scenes。 However， it was the very end that had me whooping for Faye！ Yeah！！！ YOU GO GIRL！！！ Very satisfying。If I could give it 4。5stars， I would because of that ending。 I stayed up last night way past a resonable bedtime on a work night because I could not go to sleep until I knew how it ended。 However， I’m feeling compelled today to round up。 I want to thank NetGalley， Harlequin Trade Publishing and Hanover Square Press for sending me this eARC in exchange for my honest review。#NetGalley #HarlequinTradePublishing #HanoverSquarePress #TheGirlintheVault 。。。more

Matt。 ，

3。5/5I was hooked on this book and it never became stale to me but my reasoning behind the low-ish score is that there’s a scene around the 75% mark that was too forced and when the main answer to the plot was answered I felt underwhelmed。 I would still recommend this book。

This book was the first for me by this author， I've read some of his when he has collaborated with James patterson and enjoyed them。 This book had me drawn in within the first few pages。 What would cause someone to risk everything for money？ Not as simple as it seems。 Starts out as typical intern job for what she hopes to be a future career。 When all of a sudden an accidental knowledge of knowing she won't be getting the job plants the seed for revenge。 But the one thing Faye doesn't count on is This book was the first for me by this author， I've read some of his when he has collaborated with James patterson and enjoyed them。 This book had me drawn in within the first few pages。 What would cause someone to risk everything for money？ Not as simple as it seems。 Starts out as typical intern job for what she hopes to be a future career。 When all of a sudden an accidental knowledge of knowing she won't be getting the job plants the seed for revenge。 But the one thing Faye doesn't count on is how far others will go to protect their secrets and to make sure she knows they are in control。 The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is the ending felt a little rushed for some reason。 Everything was written so amazing leading up and definitely did not see the twist at the end but felt it could have been explained a little bit more。 Otherwise a definite great read and I definitely was not disappointed by the author！ 。。。more
