I was intrigued by Cold Wallet from the very start. We begin the story from Henry’s perspective and enough detail is shared to tell us about the relationship between Henry Andrew and Jess while simultaneously raising questions that keep you intrigued to read on.
We then follow Jess on her tragic honeymoon and as she scrambles to get to grips with the company she has inherited. Her relationship with Henry is strained but when he offers to help manage the cryptocurrency business Vaultange is it because he’s changing or because he has something more sinister planned.
I liked the basis of this storyline, although some of the more in depth conversations went over my head to begin with it came across as very well researched and I slowly became immersed in Andrew, Jess and Henry’s complex world. I liked the depth of each of the characters, all multifaceted and in their own way unreliable, with each development sending me in a spin as I read. The author takes the time to set the scene, with flashbacks that show how relationships develop as the plotline moves forward. With revelations and resolutions that left me spinning I think that this is a really good thriller and I would recommend it.
'You have kind eyes.' The last words Andrew said to Jess just before he died on their honeymoon. Grief stricken, she returns to New Zealand and to the cryptocurrency exchange he left her in his will. Knowing nothing about cryptocurrency, Jess, a physician, turns to Andrew's associate, Henry, someone she has never liked, for advice.
But does he mean to help or hinder?
Suddenly nothing is as it should be and Jess has no choice but to involve the authorities.
Suddenly details of Jess's past are leaked to the press and she has to fight to save her reputation and her future. The solution to her problems may be in the Cold Wallet but without the passwords what can she do?
'An exciting thought-provoking thriller set in the world of cryptocurrency.'
