Flat Lake in Winter

Rating:
Summary: Well written suspense which ends disappointingly.
Review: Well written suspense story with many intriguing legal details. However, the ending in which all the loose ends are very quickly and too neatly tied in a neat package spoils the over-all effect.

Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly good
Review: While the 'legal thriller' genre gets larger exponentially every day, it seems harder and harder to find a really good read - which makes this book a real find. What I loved about the book was its original narrative style, bouncing from an omniscient third person to a sort of research persona, almost as if most of it is a true crime book written after the fact. It gave the book an air of authenticity that was added to by the author's obvious knowledge of the legal system.

Even without the unique narrative style and the well-researched legal environment, it is still a book that is marginally better than most books of this type. Overall, a very worthwhile read.
