William Leonard’s Reviews > The Day of the Jackal: The legendary assassination thriller > Status Update

Really getting going now. Moving at a great pace and difficult to put down. Even though the ending is known before the book even starts, is very uncertain where the story will go!

The detail is what really makes the book. It makes it very intriguing, and easy to visualise.

Writing style switches between a history book, or police report, and a classic novel story telling approach. Providing necessary narrative drive, but also making the reader feel like they are reviewing a case file. Very detailed, interesting, and intriguing.
