This is a very short book, only 120 pages. Emily Hart and Robert Dawson were sweethearts in high school. They broke up, and Emily was deeply hurt. Years later Emily moves back to her home town, she is now a lawyer. She doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents; they blame her for her brother’s death, as she was driving the car that crashed and killed him. This is also the reason she left all those years ago. Roberts parents are found murdered, and Robert was found holding his mother and the murder weapon. Emily was called in to represent Robert in court. With very little evidence to go on, and lots of circumstantial evidence against him, Emily must prove his innocence.

Anyone who wants a fast read or a good courtroom drama.

I liked that Emily didn’t have much evidence to go on, but fought hard for her client. She explored every angle to get at the truth of what happened, believing that Robert was innocent.

How short the book was, and how quickly it ended with the last client.

Find a longer courtroom drama to read

The author put a good plot together, but wrapped up the case so quickly in the end.

It is a fast and easy read

It is too short, and doesn't have the drama of a court case I usually look for. You also can't get to know the characters too well.
