Book Reviews of Eye of the Beholder
Book Review: The Search For Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
Ellis provides an interesting tale of deception amidst the backdrop of a cast of characters whose lives were forever changed years ago when a series of murders rocked the local community. Now, faced with an apparent copycat killer, former prosecuter turned corporate attorney Paul Riley is forced to revisit the past to determine whether he helped lead to the execution of the correct man.
The plot is very complex, make no mistakes about that. This is a story that includes just about every motive imagineable: insanity, power, love/obsession, infidelity, and general dislike. Try as you might, while a careful reader may work out some of the plot, it is doubtful that he/she can put together all the pieces until the final moments of the book.
In the end, Riley faces several situations where he must choose between truth and deception. In some cases the difference between right and wrong is rather blurred.
In addition to the plot itself, a few of ths supporting characters stand out, chief among them being Detective Mike McDermott. McDermott seeks the truth, and has his suspicions about Riley. McDermott is also haunted by a tragedy in his personal life that he is unable to separate from his work as a detective.
