Humorously playful and surprisingly illuminating, Lisa Story’s part-thriller, part-memoir BETTER DEAD THAN POOR remains faithful to its very title and lays bare the life of a conman cum hitman whose ‘original sin’ took the American nation by storm in 1971. What lends this spy thriller its emotive authenticity is the author’s familial relationship with this conman, evoking empathy and wonder as well as outright aversion to his many crimes throughout his life. The writing style's only drawback seems to be its verbosity, but apart from that, this book is a thrill-come-true for fans of investigative and gripping storytelling.
