A Dangerous Friend by Ward Just

3.0

It's kind of a left-handed compliment but this leaves little disbelief to be suspended. It's so low-key, a trick for a plotline that, rightly appreciated, is devastating.
Ward Just is really an excellent writer and his characters are well-drawn. Still, just three stars. Very solid but I would have appreciated just a little pizazz here or there. But the real reason the 4th star is missing is this didn't hit as close to home as "The Translator."
