Title: A Simple Plan
Author: Smith, Scott
Year: 1993
B's Stars: 6 of 10
Plot:
Hank Mitchell, suburbanite, and his brother happen across a plane crash, and a lot of apparent drug money. They realize they cannot just spend it, so they decide to hold it for a year - and if no one comes for it, split it up. But, the simple plan goes awry - Hank's wife spends some and Hank realizes the money is marked - so he must retrieve it. That leads to even bigger problems and crimes. The money corrupts all those it touches.
Review:
A pretty good plot, with a plausible scenario on how they found the money - and how they came about the 'plan.' The characters' actions are all believable too. My only complaint about this book is the characters seem pretty static.

This is one that I definitely agree with you on. I have my own 5star rating system and would have given this one about a 3.
A Simple Plan caught my attention from the start. The writing was good, the story intriguing, and the characters were interesting. Then about 150 or so pages in everything unraveled and fell flat.
There were several times that I said no way when the characters did something. lol
I felt the ending was okay but could have been better.
