Kirkus Review for Con Game

June 20, 2014 By Terry

Con Game 231x350It’s been with a great deal of trepidation that I’ve been waiting for the results of the review of my thriller Con Game by Kirkus Reviews. Finally, today, that review came in. I’m very happy with the review—they didn’t slam me (yeah!)—and said, “Ambrose touches on high-finance malfeasance, adultery and drug dealing with the kind of snark that will remind readers of Elmore Leonard. Given their moral nuances, Roxy and Skip are entertaining anchors for a series, and the introduction of Lily brings the promise of further complications for their relationship. . . A solid second round of capers featuring this attractive, cynical couple.” — Kirkus Reviews

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
