Kristel (kristelh) | 699 comments The Light of Day - by Graham Swift. This is a story of a murder. The main character, George is an ex cop, private investigator, who was hired by Sarah to follow her husband who was having an affair with a refuge. I found the book to be painfully slow and repetitive. The author reveals the story slowly, as is a common, but really, it could have been a lot less pages and it really never goes anywhere. It is a story of one day, the two year anniversary, and is the stream of conscious of the detective, George. I don't feel anything for any of the characters. It's a different twist to the typical detective story.

rating 3.5 stars, I expected so much more from this book. I really liked his Waterland so much more.
