Le verdict by Nick Stone

4.0

3.75/5 stars. I don't usually read legal thrillers as I find they tend to get a bit too bogged down with all the legal/court procedures, but this one generally managed to avoid it. I found Terry to be a bit annoying at times, and his character didn't completely ring true for me. For instance, he got into Cambridge because he wanted to study law but seems to know shockingly little about it while he is working as a clerk - a job he only got by accident. His innocence also seems a bit unlikely, given his dark period, his upbringing, and his past run-ins with the law. In spite of it's flaws, it was a page turner, and I would try another if it becomes a series.
