2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
'A compelling legal thriller - I loved it' Katerina Diamond, Sunday Times bestseller 'Timely, anger-inducing and very powerful - it's excellent' Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange When you read this book, you will think you know every twist in the tale. Maria is on trial for attempted murder. She has confessed to the crime and wanted her husband dead. Lottie is on the jury, trying to decide her fate. She embarks on an illicit affair with a stranger, and her husband can never find out. You will think you know who is guilty and who is innocent. You will be wrong. A gripping, sexy and twisty novel for readers who devoured ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL, APPLE TREE YARD and HE SAID/SHE SAID. 'Deliciously devious, propulsive and compulsive, Degrees of Guilt grabs you from the first chilling chapter and refuses to let go.' Neil Broadfoot

This was an interesting story with a clever premise. The plot develops well and just when you think you know the truth, it throws in a twist. It kept me guessing until the very end which I loved. The ending itself was clever and finished the book nicely though I would have liked to have seen Zain's reaction at the end. It was interesting to see the story told from the jury as well as Maria. It gave a deeper insight.

I found this to be a compelling read, about the difficult subjects of coercive control and self harm, but in a realistic and sensitive manner, I did wonder how the seemingly two separate sides of the story would come together, the trial and the jurors deliberations, but I needn‘t have worried as it worked so well. It reminded me a little of 12 Angry Men. An emotive and breathtaking thriller…..I loved it.
