There’s a small bit of head hoping and occasional shifts in tense, but overall, Strobel delivered a compelling novel that kept me flipping pages. We get a corrupt judge with ties to the mob, the pastor of a mega church considering a senate race, an investigative reporter who isn’t afraid to dig for the truth, a gambling addict, and several others who filter in and out of various plot threads. There’s a fairly large cast of characters in Strobel foray into what is a crime fiction novel at heart, but I had no problem keeping track of them. Although the main plot thread is tied up, there are a few that are left open ended and would be idea for a sequel, if not a series. I thoroughly enjoyed The Ambition but am sorry to see there hasn’t been another release to follow it. I’ve devoured a number of Lee Strobel’s “The Case For…” books and was highly excited to read his first foray into the realm of fiction.
