pawanraj 's review for:
Single & Single
by John le Carré
Starts off well.. The first chapter is super reading. A lawyer is murdered by the gang-of-"entrepreneurs" he was working for. Oliver, who is a (former) colleague of the dead lawyer gets involved. He races against time, the establishment and his own morality to try and save his father (and boss) from suffering the same fate.
The story is mostly flashback, as Oliver, has given up on his previous life as a hot-shot lawyer for the Russian "mob". He returns to it, to save the father. The story is predictable, the action is okay, and the protagonist is fairly sketchily detailed, and some strokes are a bit too broad.
The climax is a bit of an anticlimax, and it all ends too quickly and feels incomplete for all the build-up to it.
Not exactly le Carre's best work.
