Many thanks to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Dreamscape Media for gifting me. both a digital and audio ARC of this debut book by L.J. Shepherd, wonderfully narrated by Ella Lynch. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Lila Dalton has no memory, yet finds herself in the courtroom as a trial lawyer defending a terrorist. She doesn't know who she is, what she's doing, or the reason behind anything. Somehow, enough memory kicks in that she's able to participate in the trial. Without knowing anything about her past, how can she trust anyone around her?
This was such an intriguing plot, but it's a complex story and requires some concentration on the reader's part. It goes down lots of conspiracy theory paths, courtroom drama, threats about her missing daughter, all wrapped up in Lila's confused brain. To be honest, my brain was a bit confused at the end as well. But it's a solid debut novel and I'll be looking for more from this author!
