Sandrine's Case by Thomas H. Cook

4.0

Oh, this is a hard one to review. I spent a lot of it feeling slightly bored and wishing the pace would pick up, knowing it wouldn't. Despite that, it also kept the tension taut and I was never wholly sure which way the ending would go. Consider the whole book takes place in 9 days, most of those with the main character sitting idly in a courtroom, this narrative tension is quite the feat.

The book really made me think. What would I judge a man on, the person he once was, has recently been, is now or will be in the future? When there's been or will be a significant breach between one and the other, this isn't an easy question to answer.

For those who enjoy a slow, considered pace and tightly woven psychological thriller. This is one worth picking up.
