pick2nd bk from a series curated by bernadine evaristo of modern black Br writers. This was a compelling legal thriller set in the 90s abt a talented black female criminal barrister from a working class background. When a lucrative corporate fraud bruef is given to her, she is subject to prejudice from members of the bar but of more concern an affluent client who seems too good to be true. A page turner. Will look for more from the author + the series
pickI was equal parts entertained by this book and entertained by being entertained. How did JG have me root for a lawyer faking his own death leaving wife and child while funneling $90 million (1992 dollars) from his slimy law partners!? Then after 4 years he orchestrates his own arrest. I dunno, but it was good and I didn‘t give thought to this contemporary fiction being 28 years old!

I very much enjoyed seeing behind the legal profession‘s curtain🥸 I find it all very fascinating, always have. The verbal sparring etc… between the Plaintiff & Defence counsels had me LOL several times🤣 Definitely not my last Grisham or legal thriller📚🤓
My mom loves John Grisham, so I often get her his books for gifts! #yougifted #aboutabook @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis was an action packed novel. A family of four are murdered in their home. The characters: Russian mobsters, police, lawyers, prosecutors, teachers and others were introduced. Many people had potential motives for murder. Sex and drugs were included as the chapters unfolded. 4/5
pick4 ⭐. I felt like reading something with southern charm and atmosphere....even though it was full of crime.
