So, The Holdout. I have some mixed thoughts about this book.
⠀
Overall, I did enjoy it, and it was well written. I liked the alternating story lines (past and present) and the story’s focus on the impact and aftermath of a jury’s decision. I was engaged by this story and wanted to know how it ended. It was a relatively quick read, with decent character development.
⠀
However, I was not at all surprised by, and had in fact already surmised, the ending. That was a minor let down, but whatever. I also had a difficult time really connecting with any of the characters; I didn’t really care what happened to any of them, but I did want to know how everything turned out for them.
⠀
All of that being said, I have read all of Graham Moore’s novels and will continue to read what he puts out.
