After searching for a thriller to read with intrigue and mystery, I discovered "Vaults of Power" by Diane Echer and wasn't disappointed by my choice. In fact, I was quite pleased with the interesting twists, turns, and tie-ins to history I discovered.
I found myself Googling aspects of the plot line I was reading, and pleased to see that much was factually accurate with interesting fictional twists that the author connected together in a great story. It actually was fun to read and I enjoyed following as Ms. Echer related historical facts together.
I also loved the characters. The heroine, Robyn Gabriel, was likable, sexy, and adventurous. Her band of associates were well portrayed and I wanted them to succeed in their endeavors. Because of the direction the story took, several of the characters weren't fully developed, but I hope there will be sequels in the future and I'll have an opportunity to follow those characters more closely in the next book.
The story line would make an ideal motion picture. "Vaults of Power" has action, adventure, sex, villainous characters, murder, mystery, exciting international set locations, and a lead character that the audience would be rooting for.
The plot highlighted historical events for me that I've now become more interested in because of the significance of these events in today's world. For example, recent political commentary about the role of the Federal Reserve Bank in US monetary policy is something I never thought about until now. Politicians are now talking about the Fed in debates and opinion pieces in the newspapers. "Vaults of Power" is timely, and has opened up some doors to my education on the Fed, and other topics so now I'm delving deeper into non-fiction sources, and learning more.
I recommend "Vaults of Power" wholeheartedly to anyone looking for something exciting, fun, mysterious, intriguing and for someone who doesn't mind a little sex thrown in for good measure.
It's a great book.
