Why did I love this book?
A gripping tale of greed, blackmail, betrayal, and multiple murders. Three men discover 4.4 million dollars inside a crashed airplane. No one sees them and no one knows that the plane has gone down. Why not take the money? What could go wrong? Everything.
Two of the men are brothers—one a successful businessman, the other mentally and financially challenged—that ultimately find themselves pitted against one another.
The beauty of A Simple Plan is how Smith pulls his characters deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole, causing the reader to feel with sinking dread that redemption seems impossible.
