You Don't Know Me by Imran Mahmood
4.0
4.5
Such a unique premise where the defendant is on trial for murder, sacks his lawyer and delivers his own closing speech instead. This book has such a strong tone of voice and it’s hard not to get sucked in. Whilst it did lull in the middle, I was mostly gripped throughout.
I think it also does a great job of showing how easy it is for young men of colour with disadvantaged backgrounds to find themselves caught up in the system. It also really delves into gang culture but in now way glorifies it.
