Thriller

“Sometimes it's hard for people to see what's right in front of them”

If you like legal thrillers you will love this one! I love a book that starts off with a bang and this one did not disappoint.

A 911 call was made by a terrified woman saying her attacker was stabbed. It was actually her husband and she admitted to being the killer. She has a new born baby and swears it was self defense, that her husband was abusive and she had to protect her baby from him.

Ruthless defense attorney, Abby, takes on the case; however, she herself is pregnant. In the interim, a young attorney, Will, handles the case for her. Abby shortens her maternity leave to get Lous off of first degree murder charges.

Twist and turns galore in this book. Will Abby be able to get Lous off of her murder charge and is Lous actually guilty? Read it and see this explosive finish. ( )

I am not a fan of this kind of book, preferring literary fiction. Bear that in mind when you read my review.

The plot whips along in this courtroom drama of a teenaged mon charged with the murder of her husband. The defense attorney has cut short her own maternity leave to try this case, raising questions about what being a good mother means at the extremes.

But the characters aren't very complicated (except maybe the accused). And my ability to suspend disbelief failed me several times. Entertaining, but forgettable. ( )

This one stretches credulity at several points. The characters are too two-dimensional for me to really get invested in them, and it doesn't help that I'm not generally a fan of courtroom dramas. It's readable, but I doubt I'll retain much if any of this novel. ( )

This is a hard book fir me to describe. I really did not like any of the characters. It was hard to know if Abby or Luz were really good mothers or if they were both just manipulating those around them. Will needs to reevaluate what he did also. This trial seems to bring out bad things in each of the characters. I did have a hard time putting the book down. I needed to know if Luz would be found guilty or not guilty. I feel this book will bring out different kinds of emotions in every person who reads it. I received a copy of this book from Harlequin for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
