I found so many issues with the plot and pacing, I was simply frustrated by the end and couldn't wait to be done with it. I failed to see the connection between quite a few plot lines, and I also felt the characterization was incredibly lacking, things just happened at random. Glad you liked it though.

I think that this is why it is good that more than one reviewer reads a book and reviews it. We often see different things in a story. I have enjoyed your reviews in the past, so I'll have to go back and see if I can find yours, just to see your thoughts on it

Agreed! Which is why I love the quote I use as my tag: “No two persons ever read the same book.” I always enjoy your reviews as well! It’s great to read your opinions

This does sound fairly interesting. You mention that the legal case has to deal with a televangelist; how are they portrayed? I happen to have a very low opinion of such people, but I like the idea a lot of a legal scandal story involving one.

I like the psychological aspect of the book and that the author did his homework well, great review.

The fact that you were able to draw out deep informations like the writer writing out of a thorough study on the subject matter and not just creating non realistic scenerios shows you really studied it and it is worth commending. Well-done!

The case with the televangelist was only one aspect of legal situations in the story. It would be a major spoiler to explain how this particular televangelist is viewed.

Sounds great. I love a story with a faulty narrator--it makes for an added layer of entrrtainment. Congrats on BOTD!

Good review. This sounds like a good read and something I would enjoy. A lawyer falling for her client and following him leaving her family behind sounds interesting. Is the client innocent or guilty as charged? I don't know but hopefully I will once I read this drama mystery. Congrats on being BOTD and for making it free.

Great review! This book sounds quite intriguing. I enjoy a good mystery especially ones that involve medical or legal communities and thus has both. Add in the complications of big religion and I expect a very complex read.

I read another William Cole book that was the Book of the Day, a day or two ago. If this one is anything like that, I would love to read it. Your review was very insightful and I look forward to reading the book, now. Thank you for the glowing review.

The background of the story sounds truly vivid and diverse. It must have taken quite an effort to study those fields and embed them so realistically with the characters. Thanks for the review!

A tale that melds several arenas and explores multiple emotions? Sounds like a good read for fans of the genre. The story follows one woman's struggles who discovers the complexity of religion and love. That the author shows the legal legal process in a realistic manner is certainly a plus. Not really my cup of tea, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

I will say there is barrier with connection of some characters, however the book pose to carry a very powerful storyline , showing the ills in open carriers that only the professionals go through; the mystery in workplace and digging up the wrong of religious leaders. I like the book thou ,there is always room for improvement, thanks.

This book seems 3 dimensional as it is dealing with multiple themes. It sounds like an interesting read. From the comments above, I deduced that this writer is a brilliant one, looking forward to it.
