I had a hard time getting into this book at first, with all the legal lingo I didn't know, but once someone died it got more interesting and then I didn't want to put it down. Too bad you still have to do adult stuff and not just sit around and read all day. I did end up finding a spot to hide so I could finish the last quarter of the book without being disturbed. It was better than I expected and I was surprised by the ending.
The book was a bit on the boring side for the 1st 100 pages!! It started getting interesting once inside the court room. I was hoping there would be some twists and major surprises during the trial but that didn't happen until the verdict was decided. It was just an average read and I will probably not want to read any more of this author!! DN
