The God's Eye View by Barry Eisler

3.0

Usually I love Barry Eisler's books, but this one fell a bit flat for me. I had virtually no interest in the characters for about the first third of the book. The story did pick up later, but overall, still not his best work. Evie Gallagher is an NSA analyst who discovers some inconsistencies in the director's story about what's happened to a whistleblower and journalist. She and her deaf son get drawn in to quite a mess with hired killers and NSA operatives. Too slow at beginning, too fast at end. Some other reviewers have complained that the NSA surveillance stuff described in the book is not realistic. My take is that probably some of it is and some of it isn't, but either way, it doesn't detract from the story.
