The Lion, the Lamb, the Hunted

Exactly what I needed coming off of a sprawling epic fantasy book.

This book is short but has enough twists and turns to make it enjoyable enough to even read in one sitting. It reads like a very good episode of CSI. Season Finale-quality. Nothing was particularly outstanding, including the characters, but the wham-bam of the story and the pacing make any bits of “meh” more than forgiven.

I would be interested in reading more from this author, especially if they are short and hover around this 300page mark. It's a good palette cleanser.
