Deadly Serious, Hilariously Funny
PD Abbey has developed a deliciously hilarious crew to spin a tale of greed and corruption in the multi-national corporate world of bottled water that will have you laughing out loud in every chapter.
The characters in H2Glo are not the smooth, high-class Wall Street criminals we’ve become accustomed to. Instead they are people you will recognize from your own life - fully flawed, fully formed and comically human - those “give your head a shake” characters that make for such good story telling. This High Jinx is as funny as it is deadly serious – and it is deadly serious.
Bailey Quinn, the brilliant CEO of a progressive charitable foundation, finds herself thrust into a world of intrigue and corruption after the charity’s founder, a large shareholder in a water filtration company called H2Glo, dies and leaves her investment banker son, Morgan, in charge. Her will stipulates he either runs the charity for two years or he loses his inheritance.
Bailey and Morgan are more than unsure of each other’s motives and scruples and each are put to the test when they discover that H2Glo has been the victim of a hostile takeover by a large multi-national and changed from a water filtration company, to a bottled water company shipping water from Canada to the US, something Morgan’s mother never would have supported.
But things really begin to heat up when H2Glo begins shipping a lot more than pure Canadian water to the US with hilarious and seriously frightening results.
This book is wry and humorous look at the corporate world running amok with our precious resources. If you want to have a really good laugh, I highly recommend reading this book.
I can’t wait to see what PD Abbey does with her next book.
