I wish I could say it was well worth the wait, but I can't.
I read THE RUNAWAY JURY for a TBR (to-be-read) potluck activity in my online book club, The Reading Cove. It had been in my TBR pile for many years, so I was glad to finally be picking it up to read with a book buddy!
I found this 370-page legal procedural to be mind-numbingly tedious. The sloooow pacing of this story, about a couple who insinuates themselves into the jury of a major lawsuit against the tobacco companies, sucked every bit of tension from the plot!
Oh, and it was dreadfully predictable. The big finale "shocker" in the final pages was so transparent, Stevie Wonder saw it coming years ago.
I'm glad to finally have this off my TBR pile, but I cannot recommend it unless you enjoy VERY slow-moving and predictable courtroom dramas. C-.
