Title: Grabbed Me But Didn't Hang On
Product review: I was interested in this book from the first chapter, despite the many character descriptions that proved hard to keep straight. The story was well plotted and cleanly written, the people reasonably interesting, and the mystery plenty mysterious enough. But for some reason at about chapter twelve or so I started losing it. I had a good idea how it would all end and didn't feel like spending another three hours with this book getting there, so I flipped to the last chapter to test my theory. I was wrong on some counts, right on others. But I wasn't sad I'd missed the middle.I have a feeling legal thrillers just aren't my thing and I don't want to do the author an injustice by underrating Special Circumstances, since it is certainly well written, so I'm giving it four stars even if I couldn't finish it. But be warned -- if, like me, the legal doesn't grab you, Special Circumstances may not either.
