Based on the Granada TV series, this well-crafted book follows the fortunes of a down and nearly out jurist who can hardly follow the court proceedings through worrying about his girlfriend’s difficult pregnancy.
But, by the end of the week, he is caught up in momentous events in the courtroom that imperil his life.
It’s always a pleasure to find a new Follett. This started off a smidgen contrived and, even though it was predictably quick-paced, I managed to really enjoy it by the time I turned the last page. Not my favourite of his, but certainly a quick and enjoyable one.
