Unconvincing characters ("top barrister" narrator Ava Knight seemed more of a nut than the troubled teen she was helping. I'm afraid I disliked her more than the culprit...One for the charity shop. ( ) Your Word or Mine drew me to it initially because of the courtroom aspects. I love a courtroom drama. Ava Knight is a prosecuting barrister who, in the course of her work, is required to defend a young girl accused of stabbing a man. It all seems quite cut and dried until Ava realises the victim is the man who attacked her 18 years previously. This is what leads Ava to risk everything, to act out of character, to pursue the truth. This is a book that I found gripping from beginning to end. Lia Middleton's plotting is impeccable and I particularly liked the fact that the twists in the story were totally plausible and it never felt as though the story was being manipulated just to create shock value. However, I have to say that shock value was very much created. The end of the first half drew a gasp from me and there were at least two other moments when I said "oh no" to myself out loud and had to turn away from the book for a moment. It's such a tense ride; indeed all emotions came into play: anger, sympathy, nail-biting anxiety and even a tear in my eye. This is one fast-paced and gripping 'edge of the seat' kind of story. As Ava looks for answers, both to what happened to her all those years ago, and what is happening now, she puts herself in some rather stressful situations and it makes for an extremely taut and exciting experience. An intelligent crime thriller that comes highly recommended by me. I couldn't put it down. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
When 15-year-old Anabelle King was assaulted on her way home, she thought she had done everything right. But a vital piece of evidence meant that the jury let her attacker go. Eighteen years later, Anabelle King is now Ava Knight, a successful barrister who always follows the rules. But that all changes when, one day at court, she reads a familiar name in the file: Michael Osborne. But this time he is the victim of an attack, and in the dock is a young girl: Lily Hawthorne, who pleads guilty without hesitation. Ava is sure that Lily's plea is not the truth. She knows this man is not innocent. But as she gets more entangled in the case, how much will she have to risk to uncover the truth? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
