Review title: Not perfect, but a worthy read.
Product review: Vivid character and setting development are what makes this novel worthy of your attention. True, as my forebears have mentioned here, the 'whodunit' plot is somewhat weak and predictable. Guterson, in as far as using the court room as a vehicle to tell his story, did nothing to enrich the increasingly bloated library of contemporary legal thrillers. But, to his credit, the author seemed more concerned with carrying on a dialogue with the reader through his able characters about humankind. In this capacity, Gusterson was most successful.
