High Dive by Jonathan Lee
3.0

This novel probably deserves a better rating, but I just did not find it compelling in the end. The first chapter hooked me, but as the story alternated between the three protagonists, it lost its verve. I did not feel that I had a strong feel for the characters. And it is on the characters that its success hinges. The bombing that ties them together is merely the device for the author to explore these peoples' lives and motivations. Still, the writing was excellent and a number of passages were quite brilliant.
