The Firm

There is a very cinematic depth to the backdrop of this and the characters are well developed through some strong dialogue and the quick pace of the story. The intrigue around the wider picture works really well as things are unraveled for the reader at the same time as the main character, including some nefarious reveals that might make you wonder how far it's all gonna go. The prose is strong and there are some very clear stakes as the writer doesn't tread lightly or serve up any of those frustrating misdirects and time-wasting subplots.
