SueKich's Reviews > To Kill the Truth

What’s the opposite of a page-turner?

Fast-paced but vapid potboiler about an ex-White House operative asked to get to the bottom of a conspiracy to erase history: a wave of murder and destruction that annihilates priceless historical documents from national libraries and wipes the records from all digital archives.

The premise itself - though ludicrously far-fetched - is an interesting one. But there is something about the narrative flow with its clunky detours, leaden dialogue and wafer-thin characterisation that removes any excitement from the read. A wipe-out in every sense of the word.
