Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Bill Wyeth was a very successful attorney until, for his son's birthday, he decided to come back home early from an out-of-town assignment. His life became something completely different after this incident. Mostly by accident, one night he was asked to help out with a legal matter, innocent looking, but this again gave his life a completely new turn.
Colin Harrison has a tendency to write in an extremely descriptive manner. Some parts of the book, especially the beginning, are pages and pages of description, creating an atmosphere. But he also knows when not to do this and keep the story going. If you like a well designed story and can live with long atmospheric descriptions, this is OK. However, if you are a reader which mainly wants to know what is happening as quickly as possible, you'll probably be giving up before you've read the first third of the book.
