Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this fabulous debut legal thriller by Lawrence Robbins. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Long known as one of DC's most powerful litigators, Rob Jacobson is now facing the case of a lifetime. Jack Cutler, former President of the United States and Rob's best friend since childhood, has been accused of murdering his mistress. Amanda. To further complicate matters, Robbie had relationships in the past with Jess, Jack's wife, and Amanda. Could Jack really be guilty of murder?
Wow - this debut thriller blew me away and I couldn't put it down. If you are a fan of Scott Turow or John Grisham, make time now to read this book. Set in DC, it's gripping but thankfully doesn't veer into the political arena. There's lots of past history between Robbie and Jack, muddying the waters, and Robbie brings in a former colleague, Jane, to assist. They are smart lawyers but the evidence seems stacked against Jack. The end was mind-blowing. Robbins is himself an acclaimed attorney, so he definitely writes what he knows. Highly recommended - a must read! Sure hope there's more to come from this author!
