Straightforward, totally accessible to someone like me who's just started getting back into reading as a hobby (20 years old, this is only the third book ive read so far in a couple years!). No need to be interested at all in law to enjoy, the book does wonderfully in fact in explaining how trials (at least in the UK) work!

Personally love how the pacing was done in ways I always finding out the twists and turns seemingly on point as to when the author would want :)

"Tense" in my opinion is the perfect one-word to describe this book, remaining such throughout. Some genuinely stomach churning, heart-racing pages in this book.

Ending is a great cliffhanger well set up, albeit predictable. Oh well!

Almost as good as Do No harm, I enjoyed reading this , I barely put it down. The only reason why I didn’t give it a 5 was because I predicted the ending and the verdict. It was keeping me in suspense and there were some unsuspecting moments. I’m looking forward to reading more from Jack.
