This is quite the most powerful and enthralling thriller that I
have read for sometime.
I first read Part One: Atrocities six months ago, and have
almost been putting off reading the final two parts of the trilogy. Part one introduced a terrifying picture of a
newly structured legal system combined with age old corruption, and wasn’t a
place I wanted to re-visit anytime soon.
However, like all great five star books, the plot and people kept
niggling away at me, unresolved business that needed concluding.
My other fear was that the quality of writing must eventually
fall way at some point, but I needn’t have worried as it just kept getting better
and better. The author easily moves
between dramatic and bloody action sequences, and more thoughtful character developments
and quiet moments of introspection. I
struggled to empathise with Eddie Collins at the start, but lost hours of sleep
rooting for him towards the conclusion.
The only question now is whether or not to re-read The Third
Rule before starting another Andrew Barrett thriller.
