I really enjoyed this book. This was my first Jack Jordan but I enjoyed the writing style and the fast paced gripping chapters. If there’s criticism to be added from me is that some of the plot was very predictable and although the end presented with very mixed views in out book club, I really enjoyed it and I believe it could leave the opportunity open for a sequel. I would have given it 4.5 if I could have on here.

Another great read from one of my favourite authors. This one is a legal thriller, it soon drew me in from the first few pages and didn’t let up until the end.

Highly recommended if you haven’t read anything by this author before.

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!
