Although there are elements of this book that seem sort of unrealistic to me, I say why let that get in the way of a good story? I liked the pacing of this first impression, it gets right into the action, right into Yolanda transitioning from lawyer to whistleblower to FBI employee. There were elements of the structure of this novel that I wasn't clear about - some timeline things that I wasn't clear on - but I suspect that I would just need to read further to get into the groove of the writing for those things to become more apparent.
