"A Fool Indeed", by Dean Conan


The Fool’s Gold Chronicles book #2

Charles Fuller, one-time ladies’ man is newly married to Meghan, he loves her dearly and also wants to make success of his newly stated business. But Charles (Charlie Mo) is on the hunt for a man who stole a great amount of money and at the same time needed to fend off a ruthless gangster who wants eagerly to become a business partner…Charlie has a full plate and in “A Fool Indeed” trouble raises its ugly face …..

My thoughts:

Not much to this small book the plot line genre goes back to the 1990’s and centers on some aspects and depictions of Black culture and life where profanity, gratuitous sex and violence is in full display. Although I didn’t find it to be over the top most of the time it is nevertheless filled with partying, money and loose women with exotic names: Ice cream Carmen, Deadly Dominique…and on and on.

This story is somewhat entertaining but apart from being a total escapism I think I would have been better to pass time with a story more engaging and better written.

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice you surely a fool indeed

I received this book from the first reviewer program for my thoughts.
