Shane Turnbull receives a mysterious phone call from a stranger which leads to devastation. In order to cover up one crime, Shane commits many many more. I was hooked from the beginning of this book.

It appears that once a person makes a terrible mistake, he will do almost anything not to be discovered, even if that means committing several more. However, the more things he tries to do to avoid detection the harder it will be to recover if his crimes are discovered.

His problems quickly multiply and become completely out of control. I couldn't wait to get to the end of the book to discover the consequences of his actions and to see if he is ever discovered.

It was a little bit difficult for me to understand because the story takes place in England, and the some of the language is unfamiliar. Other than the language issue at times, and that fact that the book was sometimes a bit dry, I really enjoyed this book. ( )

There are many reasons why readers will be gripped by the cauchemardesque tale that David Snowdon unravels in his thought-provoking novel, A Crime to be Rich. One of these must be that it is a modern fable that questions the perceived benefits of unrelenting wealth accumulation, self-serving indulgence and an over-privileged lifestyle.

A Crime to be Rich is a deeply moral tale in which the price for wrongdoing is paid without any concession. However, along with this underlying message, David Snowdon has painted a psychological picture of a deeply troubled character and of the flawed section of society in which he has staked his claim. But most of all, A Crime to be Rich is a tense thriller with supernatural sub-plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats and introduces most of them to a world that they would never normally encounter.
