Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the debut novel by Laurie Blake. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Ripped out of the headlines, high profile Hollywood actor Danny Scott is accused of trying to murder his wife, actress Hope Harrison. Twelve sequestered jurors must decide Danny's fate. But even a jury has its secrets.
I'm always up for a good legal thriller, and this one turns the spotlight on the jury, because all of them are lying. It takes the reader behind the scenes into the juror machinations, as they try and control each other's votes as well as the jury makeup itself. It's told from many different POVs so you begin to understand where each is coming from and hopes to achieve. I was glued to the pages to see just how it was all going to come out - and it was worth the wait for that ending! Wonderful debut novel that has me anxious for more from this author!
