A man sitting beside a detective in a bar in New York is murdered. Another man, whose warning saved the detective’s life, disappears without a trace. A conman and a former Miss USA contestant form a relationship that’s trusting and deceiving at the same time. The detective and an attractive policewoman, who is not influenced by people’s appearances, form a relationship that changes from one extreme to another when past occurrences leak to the surface.
The events move from New York to Paris. Existing players and new players are brought together by fate. There appear to be links between crimes in New York and Paris. A mysterious man enters the scene and past events need to be rewritten. Opposing sides form, but which is the good side and which is the bad one? The conman, the former Miss USA contestant, the detective and the attractive policewoman do the unexpected.

Seriously enjoyed every moment of it. Yes the story jumps around a bit but where other authors loose track when doing this, here it just made perfect sense. A seriously grat read that I would recommend without hesitation to anyone. Can't wait to try out some of his other books, let's hope Kindle can deliver.

3,0 su 5 stelle Nothing almighty in this conspiracy
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 dicembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
Rating: 2.9

Alas, there is always one to spoil the glorious reviews of a book. Today, I guess I am the one. I did not find the book remotely as good as the reviews say, that is for sure. I did not find it well written, the tense kept jumping from past to present in the same sentence or block of sentences (and no, it is not because the characters have flashbacks, it is just the writing). The names kept being repeated when they could have been switched for ''him, her, them'' without confusing the reader at all. The repetitions make for a heavy reading.

 An Almighty Conspiracy  does not have the feel of a thriller nor of a conspiracy. Nothing is in detail. It is quite annoying. And you have to smile at the simplicity of the plots and the fact that everyone has millions and millions at their disposal, acquired through dubious means but with an ease that takes the credibility away.
There is a story somewhere there, though, and towards the end, it does touch the subject of schizophrenia, but then again, the writing does not make justice to this subject, and the ''baddie'' sounds quite unrealistic.

Would I discourage anyone to read  An Almighty Conspiracy ? It depends. If you are looking for an easy reading without too much depth while on holidays, then you should be OK. But you like a solid conspiracy, with a firm base, a good research, realistic plots and deep characters, then I think you might be, like me, very disappointed.

Would I read another work from this author? most probably yes, because I may not have liked this one but I may enjoy the next one. You never know.

5,0 su 5 stelle So Good!

It is so good to read the first page of a novel and know you are in safe hands- that the author is capable of taking you on a wonderful adventure, and that you can relax and go along for the ride.
That is the case with Fred Schafer's "An Almighty Conspiracy". What begins as a standard crime thriller told in third person, shifts to become something else entirely and builds to a wonderful climax.
I admire the style of this novel. There aren't wasted words. Each passage is there to advance the story. I didn't find myself skipping paragraphs to the next piece of action.
The story is engrossing and I found it hard to put down between readings. This is just how I like my reading matter.
I highly recommend "An Almighty Conspiracy".

3,0 su 5 stelle I have an open mind and like to read philosophy)
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 ottobre 2014

The story moved right along and I was enjoying the ride, then...the ending was a complete letdown. In fact, it didn't seem to have an ending, it only left a lot of loose ends. The two epilogues didn't help at all, indeed they were a philosophical mess (this is my opinion of course, I have an open mind and like to read philosophy).

The four main characters were completely interchangeable. I had to concentrate on the names to keep up. The dialogue with tonal inflections were exactly the same. Mike and Tony had the same personality as did Christina and Nancy. All had similar backgrounds. The antagonist(s) were too far-fetched to be believable. The twists could have used better "setting up" before hand.

Okay sorry, now for the positives in the book: Loved the pacing, the story started out great, had me on the edge of my chair. I found myself picking up my device to read every time I had even just one measly moment to read. I also liked Mike's family, they seemed genuine. I choose to believe that with English being Mr. Schafer's second language, the book's main idea was "lost in translation."

Another reader mentioned the British/Australian spellings vs American English; that didn't bother me since I enjoy reading a lot of British books.

I gave the book 3 stars mainly for the botched ending, not for Mr. Schafer's writing. I would read another book of his.

5,0 su 5 stelle A true thriller
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 23 novembre 2012

This book deftly weaves the lives of seemingly independent people into a tapestry. It weaves them together in a surprising way, revealing their true pasts. It simply grips you from the start and does not let go! There are no "good guys" or "bad guys" - everyone has their shades of gray, rather like real life. A great read.
