Well what can I say? Here is a book that in a few reads time will be completely forgotten by me.
The
building of the case is the strong point of this story, but its
meticulous planning seems to be at the cost of interesting main
characters, any sort of morbidly fascinating villain, poetic prose or a
satisfactory resolution.
I shouldn't be surprised, I feel this
level of indifference to the vast majority of modern crime thrillers.
More and more it seems to me that they have all been to the same school
of thriller writing and so everything is formulaic, bland and completely
un-ambitious.
Frankly, I only read this because a colleague lent it to me. There's so much more to life and literature than this.
