The plot is engaging and well developed, however it reads more like a legal/courtroom drama than it does a traditional thriller.
The characters are diverse and whilst in parts relatable not overall likeable. The majority of the plot twists are left until the end which is effective in covering any unanswered questions.
This book is worth reading if you like a courtroom/family dynamic drama, not so much if you want an edge of your seat thriller.
