Over the Line

Rating:
Summary: An excellent read.
Review: A psychological thriller. This appears to be the first of a new series about a Charlotte-based forensic psychologist, Portia McTeague. Just released, already a best seller in England--this first novel by Faye Sultan is a "must read".

Summary: An extremely well-written, well-edited book
Review: This pychological thriller is probably the best-written book (use of language, specifically) I've read in a long while. It initiated a lot of discussion in my family about the need for compassion as well as punishment, rather than revenge, in dealing with criminals and the wisdom to know when to apply each. We also need -- the public -- to become interested and informed about our judicial system. My only caviat, and it is personal, is Portia READ WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. This may be reality today, but an author does not need to reinforce something that is potentially dangerous. One small mistake, and someone ELSE may suffer. I loved the book anyway.
