A review by silvej01
The 3rd Woman by Jonathan Freedland

2.0

I admit that I generally found the narrative engaging and it was hardly a chore to finish this mystery/thriller. However, while the story begins fairly well, it gets increasingly more difficult to take seriously. The denouement was just too far fetched for me. Yes, I suppose that stranger things can happen in life, but one hopes that good fiction should not have to depend on the quip we sometimes find ourselves saying, "If this was a novel, it would be totally unconvincing."
