The Condor Song: A Novel of Suspense
Contents:
First, I have to say that I enjoy legal thrillers, and Nyznyk artfully threads applicable laws into the story without slowing down the pace. Nyznyk paints a complex picture with his characters.

The protagonist, Sean Donovan is a wonderfully flawed character, determined to get his life back on track and somehow make amends to the kids he let down. The Condor Song is an environmental legal thriller, and a page-turner at that, but there are also some very personal, touching moments.

One of my favorite characters was Mrs. Jackson, a sweet elderly woman who makes a savory peach pie. Jackson, while he helps her defend ownership of her property, reveals a lot about both characters. They are determined, kind, and they work hard to do the right thing. A few times throughout the novel I felt that certain actions and information about characters were repeated. Usually it occurred at points that were particularly important to the story, and needed to be remembered for later, but I felt they were unnecessary.
We all need to speak up and stay active in defending our precious shores. Anton Chekhov once said, "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. I will do though, you can count on it. Even though the plot stemmed from the fight to save the Condor by protecting its environment, solving the murder and winning the case were the primary story lines. Richard was instrumental in Sean, then a partner in the prestigious firm, losing his job, his licence to practise law, and the resulting breakdown of his marriage.
The ending also wrapped up quickly. I liked that everything was eventually explained and there were no loose ends, but it also all happened at the same time and a little too easily.
eBook Review: The Condor Song by Darryl Nyznyk
Condors played an important role in the book, but they never made singing noises, nor was there ever mention of songs attributed to them. Overall, The Condor Song is a great summer read. Not only did I get engrossed in the story, but I also learned a decent amount about practicing law in California. One of my friends said she saw this book on the library to computer loan list — I am not sure it is out in paperback yet, but soon.

I will be adding it to my list though I was given so many books for my November birthday and for Christmas, I am hard pressed to find time to read them all. I will do though, you can count on it. Debbie Deborah Barker recently posted.. January 7th, at Deborah, It is a good read and that it based on the Disney case makes the environmental work even more significant for those of us trying to save Puget Sound from Coal Ports and Oil Tankers — it is hard to go against the big, big guys.
