A review by kattheloremistress
The Telling Error by Sophie Hannah

2.0

I won this book in a Goodreads 'First Reads' giveaway. I have very mixed, very conflicting views on this one. 'The Telling Error' tells the story of Nicki Clements, a young woman who is wrongly dragged into the suspect list of the murder of Damon Blundy, a well known columnist. As the evidence becomes more and more incriminating, she sets out to find out the truth herself, whatever the cost. Firstly, Sophie Hannah is a tremendous writer and knows this genre very well. I was gripped by her story, her writing style and desperate all the way through to find out who the killer was. Unfortunately, I didn't like the characters. In particular, Nicki. As she was the heroine of the story, I hoped I'd like her at least a bit but I just found her irritating. Hannah did think out the big reveal at the end very well though, and so I did end up liking the book. Just not in any way loving it.
