Eve Of Judgement by Don Tracy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a bit of a perplexing book to review. This volume sure shows how author “Fuller” can be good, bad and all points in between. This is very, very well written. There’s a crew of characters and almost cameo appearances of “The Defenders” themselves.
The story involves a murder case and a jury. The bulk of the book is about each of the jurors and their view of the case. The rest is building to their decision. Then there is the wrap up of the novel. As character examination it works extremely well. But for story telling reasons, as well as each juror is examined, I don’t believe it was needed. To me, the angle of the story doesn’t work and left me wondering I had read the book in the end.
It’s still well written. Seems “Fuller” can write like a demon but hits the curb while trying to fit the script of a TV episode into 160 pages.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend tis book. 4 of 10 points.
