Genre -General
It was heavy reading (even though I finished) particularly with the first few chapters which were centred on the main character’s interview, with a well-known newspaper editor as a foreign correspondent. The story is quite good, but it is difficult to keep reading the journalistic jargon in the first few chapters, that we are not necessarily familiar with.
The main character is a disgruntled lawyer who wants to be a foreign correspondent, particularly to follow the missing journalist in Portugal. Some very weighty problems are challenged, but at times a heavy read. Once again, you need to be familiar with the way these newspapers are run (or so the author thinks).
Overall, not a bad story, heavy at times, but the author seems to think the reader is fully conversant with journalistic jargon. Once you get past this, the story becomes more interesting and quite intriguing.
