review 1: Overall, "Trade Secrets" is a good novel. After Remy Masterson's father is killed in an accident, she decides to become a trader at the Chicago Exchange to learn more about his life and what she suspects was not an accident that killed her father. Being a woman, she's not accepted in the boys club that is the Exchange, and when she notices irregularities, her suspicions about her father's death are heightened.I liked this book, and as I said, overall it is a solid mystery/thriller. Little things about the novel annoyed me. Some of the sex scenes were not really needed for the plot of the novel. The other big thing that annoyed me was the sudden shifts in scenes. The reader had the impression that two characters were alone in the office and suddenly, a third person wa... mores there without it being set up. Or there would be an internal monologue and then it would suddenly be a conversation with someone else.In the end, I would recommend this book to others, and I would look for other books by the same author.
review 2: Having a background in accounting, a love for the market, this book was phenomenal. This book gives a view of how outrageous the 80's were. Millions were made and lost on the floor of the stock exchange. Unfortunately lives were also list over the corruption in the trading of stocks. Remy is bent on discovering who was behind the death of her beloved dad. Going into the lions den with no idea what to expect, Remy finds out that there are many layers to her fathers world.This was a well written and researched novel. It was a fast read for me. I couldn't put it down! Highly suggest this book to anyone. less

Financial markets are always interesting especially if set in the town where you live.

Interesting idea, but far too many details about trading...I skipped a lot.

Smart, well-written women's lit meets Fifty Shades of Gray-sexy.
