A review by rozlev
The Final Case by David Guterson

3.0

I slogged through to the end because the book was short. The writing itself is beautiful, so 2 stars for that. But, the Final Case isn't a mystery or a thriller. It's not tense or suspenseful. It's overlong, wordy, dry. There were interesting sections of the story, but also, long periods of just nothing...meandering passages and musings. I loved Snow Falling on Cedars, but this was a disappointment.
