Guilty by Definition

Unsurprisingly given its author, this is a book that takes great delight in its use of language. If you can't also delight in that then I'm not sure the story would be quite enough to keep you engaged: it moves forward very slowly at first and while it does pick up some steam toward the end, the ending itself is predictable. Happily I did find it quite enjoyable and although I'd have been happier if it were 20% shorter, I'd read a follow-up if there is one.
