I did find it difficult to get into, however. The opening stages contain a lot of content dealing with legal professions and career progression. There is way too much detail, and it detracts from the core story. The second half of the book, taking place after the trial, is better. It still has a tendency to ramble, however, and the relationship between George and Heather never felt truly authentic. I never really felt emotion from them.
The uniqueness of the tale kept me reading and interested, although it wasn't a book I found particularly absorbing. Mashing up fantasy/folklore with crime fiction was a risk but this comes close to pulling it off.
Many thanks to Flame Tree Press for the ARC. My review is my honest opinion.
