The Guilty One by Lisa Ballantyne

3.0

Lawyer Daniel takes on the defence of a child accused of murdering the boy next door. As he gets to know Sebastian, he recalls his own difficult childhood and the adoptive parent who turned his life around, but who he hasn't spoken to in years. Ballantyne grapples with some big issues - child justice, nature vs nurture, consequences of our choices, with a very easy to read narrative. Not my usual choice of reading matter, but an interesting tale.
