Book Reviews of Betrayal
Book Review: Another Literary Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
Another winner from John Lescroart. This tale involves the broader canvas of the Iraq war and is a nice change of pace from the all-SF locales of his previous novels.
I don't understand some of the criticism in these reviews. IMO Lescroart's literary style, including characterization, and dialog, is among the best in the legal/crime genre and is not limited to stories that feature Hardy & Glitsky on every page. After a dozen novels, perhaps he's running dry on plots strictly centered on the two of them.
JL had a tale to tell which required a lengthy flashback to Iraq. Difficult to place Hardy or Glitsky there. I suppose he could have cast Hardy as Scholler's trial attorney but this would have eliminated Hardy's fresh take on the evidence in the appeal process.
Also, criticism of US defense contractor operations in the early days of the Iraq occupation is factual, not "political" or "anti-Iraq War rant". Calling the situation there chaotic is an understatement. In an attempt to get the country up and running again, enormous sums of money were thrown at any and all contractors who promised to get the job done.
