The Domino Effect

Author: Davis Bunn
Genre: Thriller/Suspense

Esther Larsen, a top risk analyst at one of the country's largest banking institutions, is becoming more and more convinced that she has uncovered a ticking bomb with the potential to make the 2008 market crash look minor by comparison. And as her own employer pursues "investment" strategies with ever-increasing levels of risk, she becomes convinced she must do something. But Esther is only one person; can she stand up to an international conspiracy of greed? And if she does, will anyone take her seriously?

Every moment of indecision edges the markets closer to a tipping point--the teetering first domino in a standing row that circles the globe. And when Esther finds her voice, those she seeks to expose will not sit idly by. With global markets on the brink, and her own life in danger, Esther is locked in a race against the clock to avert a financial tsunami that threatens worldwide devastation.

Reviewer: Sabrina Wade

Having no knowledge about the workings of financial institutions, algorithms and such terms, David wrote this book in such an exquisite manner. Surprisingly, I absolutely enjoyed this book from start to finish. Every free moment I had, I found myself reaching for my kindle. Suspense through and through. Regardless if the reader is aware of such terminology, he/she would be leaning over the edge of his/her chair wanting to know what happens next. The title absolutely fits the meat of this book.

A book about a woman who has a strong belief of a huge event which could negatively impact nations, yet did not coward in fear, but used that fear as a driving force to save the world. Readers will fit his or her feet in the main character's shoes and feel the emotion and surrealness as each chapter unfolds. More than anything, The Domino Effect has helped me to better understand the Biblical event of Easter. Grab your copy, find a comfortable spot and indulge in a book of faith, courage, unconditional love, and selflessness.
