FUN AND FAST-MOVING THRILLER WRITTEN WITH ENJOYMENT IN MIND!
FAR OUT by author Khaled Talib is an inventive thriller written with a reader’s enjoyment in mind. The central idea solid, it poses an answer to the age-old question of how far people will go to wrap their larcenous hands around someone else’s money—someone they’re hired to protect. Unfortunately, Goldie Saint Helen and her husband Blake Deco are about to find out the hard way that they’ll do anything they can get away with—and more—by using something called a “Conservatorship,” the perfect vehicle for committing highway robbery.
What makes this story so interesting is the inclusion of amnesia as one of the adversities that Goldie must overcome to right the myriad of wrongs piling up on a pretty ritzy Hollywood doorstep. For the movie star about to be ripped off of her millions, it means not knowing her true identity and instead believing she’s Gypsy Star, a character in a movie script she was set to begin filming. To make matters worse, Gypsy is written as a private detective living and spreading the love in the swinging 60s. The juxtapositioning between then and now is perfect and keeps Blake on his toes in averting disaster.
If you like your thrillers loaded with laughs, and coated with mystery and a touch of romance, FAR OUT would be the choice for you. Mr. Talib does a great job of keeping one step ahead of the reader and surprising us at every turn. It’s pure enjoyment from start to finish and leaves me with an urge to read another work by this author to see what else he can do! I’m giving this one five stars.
