About this listen
1985, Cambridgeshire. An MPs wife is involved in a fatal car crash, and may be over the alcohol limit. Ben Schroeder QC returns to defend her but nothing is straightforward as he gets tangled in a web of political ambition and intrigue.
A compulsive mix of crime fiction and legal thriller, exploring highly topical themes.
A central premise in this story just didn’t work for me. I work in a Neurology Dept and even in “miraculous recoveries”, people don’t just “wake up” from coma with all faculties intact. Coma is not just a prolonged sleep.
Until “Passage of Time” I’d been impressed by the author’s background research. For example, he knows/knew Cambridge and Bloomsbury very well - and I’ve walked the streets and enjoyed a glass or two of refreshment in the various pubs and Hotels he describes. With Passage of Time, a little more research (and maybe some back-reference to work he’s already covered on false memory or confabulation) would have made this a much stronger piece.
Nevertheless, it’s an enjoyable book - maybe we’ve reached finale of the series? A shame if Ben is departing with a whimper rather than a bang.
