THE CIRCLE by R.G. Lawrence is a speeding bullet of a novel.  I was kept on the edge of my seat both by the thrilling plot and by Lawrence's expert character development.  Lawrence is a master of literary pacing and knows how to take complete hold of a reader.  THE CIRCLE starts with a breathtaking bang - literally - then eases up to breathe life into a cast of characters that we come to know as intimately as old friends.  The plot moves sinuously throughout, but once Lawrence has us fully invested in these perfectly believable people, he cranks up the heat on them with situations that dare you not to read ahead to see what happens. But you'll want to savor every word.  There isn't one wasted moment in this novel; every emotion is perfectly tuned, every action perfectly reasoned.  THE CIRCLE had me at page one and kept me riveted until the very end.  I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.  ENJOY!
