Although the book contained a lot of extremely short chapters , which I liked, the story was generally prolonged to where I was forced to scan read towards the end, just to find out who did it. It seems a lot of thought and time was dedicated to the beginning (some scenes/happenings were quite detailed) but the end seemed rushed. The book also had a lot of spelling errors. In comparison to the author's previous books, I was somewhat disappointed with 'The Accused'.
