What are you reading?

It's not often I post two of these so close together but I find with Chic Lit it takes no time to read it and they all end up the same.
With that in mind this book is the total opposite.  It was free on i-books so I thought I'd give it a whirl.  It sometimes go into too much, unnecessary detail and rattles on too long but the story line is good so far.

“If you don’t pay me £250,000.00 in the next 48 Hours you will die”. The text on Josh Hammond’s BlackBerry was blunt and chilling. Surely it must be a joke, but when Josh is attacked in broad daylight and people around him start to die he knows that his blackmailer is deadly serious. Can Josh raise the money, can his attractive new bodyguard protect him, who is blackmailing him and why? He has 48 hours to find out. The first novel in the acclaimed City of London Thriller series is a hit which will enthral everyone who knows and loves its London settings.
