Cause and Effect
Derek Thompson
Thomas
and Karl both work for the Surveillance Support Unit in London and in
this story they have been assigned to the Benefits Office to check
potential fraudulent benefit claims. But at the same time they both
become involved in several other investigations which keep the reader
guessing about the motives and actions of numerous characters. Only
at the end of the book does the reader finally figure out what has
been going on in the various investigations.
I like
the book and I especially like the witty style of writing. But at
times it seems a bit hard to follow the story. There are so many
“shadow effects” that I can't help thinking that the telling of
the story might be more suited to a visual media. Nevertheless, it
has some interesting characters, good dialogue and a lot of intrigue.
Thanks
to NetGalley and Joffe Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an
honest review.
