My Review
The Upper Hand is a humorous crime caper which has instant appeal for readers of Carl Hiaasen and Victor Gishler.
Three siblings, shortly after learning of their mother's death are contacted by a lawyer who swiftly advises them that their inheritance has been left to a televangelist. The trio are given a matter of days to vacate the family home. Not knowing where this sad and unexpected event leaves them, a long lost auntie arrives at the funeral promising wealth and recompense through criminal enterprise.With a degree of reluctance, the trio agree to join the Ucker clan and from there the fun really starts.
The Upper Hand is a great read; both lighthearted and loaded with emotional depth. The Ucker family are unique and complex but easily readable and enjoyable.
My rating: 5/5 stars. Readers who enjoy a smile with their crime must read this book. Instantly addictive and a great read all the way through. No doubt one of my top reads of 2018.
