About this audiobook
Two brothers. Three secret service agents. And millions for the taking. Charlie and Oliver Caruso are brothers who work at Greene and Greene, a private bank so exclusive there's a $2 million minimum to be a client. But when the door of success slams in their faces, the brothers are presented with an offer they can't refuse: $3 million in an abandoned account that can't be traced. It's the perfect victimless crime. Charlie and Oliver opt to take the money, but get much more than they bargained for. Now, with a lot of extra zeroes in their pockets and a friend found dead, the Secret Service and a female private investigator are closing in. Whose money did they take? How will they stay alive? And why is the Secret Service trying to kill them? Both Charlie and Oliver quickly realize it's not easy being The Millionaires.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story line was fine, although slightly unbelievable in places. I decided to finish the book, but got pretty tired of a few things. The brothers seem to communicate by just looking at each other. Yes, I know that people do to an extent, but it seemed to get carried away here. Also, I got tired of many cliches and pithy sayings. I will admit that there is very little bad language, but there is violence. This is the first adult book I've read of Meltzer's, and I don't expect to read another. I do love his children's biographies, though.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Spiraling along with intrigue and drama, this didn't disappoint. Readers of Meltzer's other works will recognize the twisting suspense laid over top of sincere relationships and be swept along by what's another carefully plotted thriller. I won't say that this one felt quite so powerful as some of his other works--there was something somewhat too easy and recognizable about the relationship between the main characters for it to be so striking as some of his work--but it was still a fun escape with whirlwind action.Despite its being nearly 500 pages, this is simply a fast read, and I don't think fans of Meltzer's work will be disappointed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good read. Fast paced and well thought out.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Having worked in the finance area, I enjoyed the references. However, the story was brain candy. It was like a little roller coaster. The plot got good, then just coasted, then got interesting again, then got exciting, and at the end, it left you unsatisfied and not wanting to go on the ride again.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is Meltzer's best book. Fast paced and with a twist.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Certainly not award winning, but great mind candy. I read it on a road trip, and the miles flew by. The Millionaires poses the question, what would you do if you knew no one would find out? Would you break the law? After facing that choice, the Caruso brothers must face the consequences of their actions. Stolen money, The Secret Service, and running for their lives. Great high action thriller.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A bit long, but packed a little punch. More behind the scenes info would have been interesting.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is an easy, mindless read -- enjoyable, but simple enough to serve as brain dope; cheap thrill only.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Fun but not so well constructed and easy to guess the next thing...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story was fast moving and enjoyable including the commentator
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great mystery! It kept me holding my breath, but not too heavy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amazing what the American health care system will drive you to.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a mystery in itself. I enjoyed reading it as much as any book I can remember but the story itself is shot through with credibility leaps and plot problems. I realized them as I was reading but was still totally sucked in and enjoyed every word. Two brothers kind of steal millions and kind of get into more of a mess than they could ever imagine.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5One of the first "adult" books I ever read. At the time, I thought it was fantastic. Looking back on it...well at least I still remember it?
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I really hated this book, but only because financial thrillers bore the tits off me.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Two brothers who have led spotlessly innocent lives decide to steal $3 million - come on! It just getsmore and more stupid from there.
