Alex Nicholas is a bookie in Queens, while his brother
Michael is a straight lined CEO. When Alex
is murdered his brother is called upon to settle his affairs. While searching for the money that Alex has
hidden, Michael comes upon a special laptop. This laptop keeps Alex alive and teaches
Michael what he needs to know to solve the mystery of Alex’s murder and how to
keep himself alive.
My Review:
I found Death Never Sleeps to be a book that I could not put
down. It is a fast read. While I wasn’t surprised that Alex was
murdered, it is a hazard in his line of work, I was surprised how quickly and
easily Michael stepped into the world that he had always stayed so far away
from. My concern for Michael and has
family kept me reading and hoping that all would turn out for the best and that
everyone else in the story would be kept safe.
Although I found it a little bit sci-fi, Alex being a part
of the artificial intelligence world was interesting. The idea that a computer can feel and have
conversation with humans had me thinking of the future and possibilities. It felt creepy to me at times, one brother deceased
and the other alive yet still being able to have conversations and give
guidance, but I enjoyed it all the same.
I would have never guessed this was E.J. Simon’s first
book. This is certainly an author I
will keep my eyes open for. I highly
recommend this book.
