If Grisham wrote this he did it in his sleep. First 7 chapters are a boring recitation of family and legal procedure facts. There is nothing to hook the reader or to make any of the characters people one cares about. Later we come to care about the one sympathetic character: the secret witness. The problem for that character is "solved " in a wrap of artificially sweetened cotton candy and the mistrial is an unsatisfactory ending . And finally we have 2 suspicious characters introduced who seem scary but n then they just go away. Not a great book.

Oh dear. Not a Masterpiece at all. Beautiful scenery and clothes. Awful.writing so I can't blame the cast. The evil ones are cartoonishly evil and the saints are just an inch short of canonization and then there are a few who are just painfully unaware of who or what they are. If this were a murder mystery I could pick out a bunch of possible victims and as many perpetrators. What an awful waste of resources.

I've made it through ep3 of s3 and I find my interest waning. It amazes me that it lasted as long as it did since each episode has a similar plot. The premise had promise but the characters morph into caricatures early on and that is disappointing. The ever opportunistic Ken and his dim sidekick Alum are not funny enough for real comic relief and were annoying. The medical characters regularly touched the shafts of needles and the nurses prop pillows in such a way that patients look miserably uncomfortable and it is amazing that they can breathe at all. Little or poor technical.advice. And some of the worst film kissing I've ever seen. The nurse in the love relationship the Ovedon character was too rough around the edges to be appealing and I couldn't understand what kept him coming back for more of her lashing out at him. However I loved Ian Charmichael's character, Matron , Sister and even ditzy Lizzy. Series just did not live up to my expectation.
