A Struggle to Finish I did complete both books of this series, but found it much too long. Crammed with many superfluous details and minor characters who were somewhat difficult to keep track of. I did enjoy the overall story, but was anxious for the end to finally arrive. Quite a bit of British language that may be confusing to readers who are not familiar with it.. Quite gripping ELI (Italy) The protagonist, lawyer Jac Mc Elroy, is determined to save his client, Larry Durrant, from the death penalty, the result of a horrific murder committed 11 years before. Jac is convinced that Larry may be innocent but every bit of evidence points to the contrary, including Larry's confession.A well crafted plot and every detail is taken care of in the end, which is always what a good thriller should do. However I found that the book could have been shortened by at least 70 pages: it gets too overly repetitive at times, when the gist . A. Graham said John Matthews Ascension Day. Picked up "The Last Witness" in the library last year and couldn't put it down. So I went looking for more of his books - no luck. Ended up ordering all further titles through the internet. That is how much I like reading his Thrillers. I am surprised he hasn't made it on the Best Seller List in the USA yet. Much better reading then John Grisham or even Dan Brown. Don't start before Friday night though and don't make any plans for the rest of that week-end.
A thumping great read Ireland on Sunday
