Review: A Fine Study in Human Nature
Rating: 5 out of 5

Author Rebecca Forster always turns out more than expected, especially in her character development. Some of the characters are shallow (in fact, not in literary terms) and some are more complex, but Forster continues to amaze me (this is my fifth of her novels) with her understanding of human nature and how it moves people to action.In this driving legal thriller, she exposes the weak underbelly of human corruption even among those who are sworn to defend society and to prosecute those who violate the law. Using the literary medium of naivety in her primary character, she allows the story to develop so the reader can determine the right and wrong of the action. I particularly love her style of depicting daily actions, everyday chores that people do as they rise, eat, work, and play.Give Rebecca Forster a couple of hours of your time and you will add yet another excellent author to you list of favorites.Gordon Ryan
