Negative Positive
Title: Choppy declarative style fails without a narrator-vehicle.
Review: A tightly-controlled seamless layout of the story would have made this difficult read (due to enormous numbers of characters, incidents, separate investigations, and opinions) more rewarding. This incredible subject suffers from the absolute lack of one, or two clearly defined and established narrators to weave the multiple scenarios together. This is a big failing in a story which deals with such a fragmented set of circumstances and oppositional mind-sets. The author's research has apparently been meticulous but the presentation is as erratic in feeling as the reported circumstances of the investigation and affects the reading enjoyment.
