Title: Silent Witness pretty good, but not great
Product review: This book, like all of Patterson's, kept me awake until well after midnight...the ending gave me goosebumps - totally unexpected. However what bothers me about the book is the "suspension of disbelief" element...the book purports to be realistic - Patterson is a great writer...no doubt about it, but why would Lord return to his hometown after 28 years to defend this guy (who is now an assistant principal) who was actually pretty much a loser in high school...also: what was their relationship over the years? Do we know? And what's up with Sue? Why would she stay with the guy? Wasn't she upset with him? Fighting with him? Would Saul really still be practicing law after 30 years in the same town? - a HUGE coincidence that he wound up assisting Tony. Many, many unanswered questions in an otherwise fairly strong and well-written book
