A page turner I read in one sitting. I'm glad I didn't read the full flap, I was sold on the premise of two jurors having an affair during a murder trial in Central Florida. 

I did find myself questioning the author's choice in writing the twins as adopted children since the whole adopted evil child trope paints a harmful picture. 

I found this book poetic and riveting.

It's fine. It was easy to read, but the second part was so disappointing.
