Greville Waterman's Reviews > To Kill the Truth

Writing under his real name of Jonathan Freedland the author wrote a wonderfully moving and evocative family memoir called Jacob's gift which lived with me for any months. Under his pen name Sam Bourne he was written a series of thrillers that I am sure have sold thousands more than Jacob's gift and they are well thought through and tense but not of the same literary merit.

I enjoyed this one, the first that I have read but the premise was highly unlikely and the characterisations weak.

I sped through it quickly and it was a decent and unchallenging read that will be popular on the beach next Summer.

Good at what it is but not really for me.
