Summary: more than you may be expecting
Review: When Chris Larsgaard first e-mailed me, and suggested that I read his book, I was not sure what to do. I thought it sounded interesting, but I had many other books that I had hoped to read. But then I finally convinced myself to try it, and let me tell you, i was not disappointed.One thing that I love about this novel, was that way that right at the end, when you thought it was just about over, he pulls out a little bit of a surprise. He then puts in a very suspenseful seen, that many authors, such as John Grisham, would usually leave out. Let me tell you, this may be his first book, but it did not feel that way to me.

Summary: exciting premise
Review: When reclusive octogenarian Gerald Jacobs died, he left behindan estate valued at $22 million. No record of Jacob having a lifeprior to a few years ago when he arrived at Hudson, New York exists leaving no heir. Through a bribe, Alex Moreno learns about the estate. Along with her West Coast partner, private investigator Nick Merchant, they begin a search for the missing beneficiary, knowing they can earn several million on this case. They break into the home of the deceased, but run into trouble with the law and rival agencies even more unsavory than Alex and Nick. Worse yet, the Feds want this investigation aborted because Jacob was in the witness protection program. THE HEIR HUNTER is an exciting look at the lucrative but extremely competitive heir hunting business. The story line is fast-paced and filled with non-stop action even though debut author Chris Larsgaard occasionally slows down the plot with too much explanation. The lead protagonists are an intriguing duo. They are not only partners, but former lovers as well. Alex resides in Albany, New York while Nick lives in San Francisco but even keeping a continent between them can not ease the state of sexual tension that exists between them. No matter how good the characterizations and the storyline are, the appeal of this novel lies in the authentic descriptions of the world of the heir hunter, a very intriguing and exciting place to be.
