Book Review: Line of Vision by David Ellis

What’s Good:

Once the trial started, I couldn’t put the book down. I woke up all night to finish it. Very well written courtroom drama. I don’t read a lot of legal thrillers these days, so this was refreshing.

The synopsis on the back cover, and the first ten pages were very intriguing. The reason why I bought the book in the first place.

What’s Ok:

The pace of the story came to a grinding halt after first fifty pages or so. It was so slow that I thought about giving up on the book more than one time. There were glimmer of interesting bits, but too few and too far between. By then, however, I was deep into the story to back out. And I was glad I stayed.

The ending wasn’t a big surprise either. I certainly didn’t know how things would eventually unravel, but I had a pretty good idea about who was behind it all. I kept thinking it couldn’t be that simple. What could be the twist, I wondered. There were revelations in the end that clarified a few things, but I wouldn’t call them a twist. More like explanations to tie everything together.

To be fair though, I was reading this as a mystery/thriller. Perhaps, it was intended just as a thriller, not a mystery. If so, misplaced expectation on my end.

What’s Bad:

Nothing.
