Risk, by Colin Harrison

This novel was just okay.  Here are some of the six core competencies:

Theme:  What if the matriarch of a law firm asks one of her employees to investigate her son's accidental death?  This theme led the protagonist into some danger, but it never seemed critical and the stakes always felt low.

Structure:  The book followed a reasonable plot for a mystery, but it was not very intense.

Character:  The main character was just a regular guy and never did too much outside of that characterization.

Overall, this book was only so-so because the concept wasn't exciting enough and the stakes never built up during the story.
