IMHO William Boyd has produced a magnificent body of work until now. With "Ordinary Thunderstorms" something else has happened. The plot is the problem. Generally I have no difficulty believing in corporate greed and criminality but this just didn't seem convincing nor many of the reactions of the hero. I wanted to believe.
