This one starts with a slow creep\u2014but don\u2019t let that fool you. Once it gets going, it absolutely explodes<\/em> with twists and turns. This is a psychologically clever legal thriller that keeps you constantly second-guessing everything and everyone.<\/p>\n

Leila Reynolds is thrown into her first murder case, defending a man she\u2019s represented before\u2014one she couldn\u2019t save the first time. Now she\u2019s been given a second chance to help Jack, who\u2019s accused of murdering a judge. But the stakes are even higher this time because the prosecutor she\u2019s up against? Her husband. Talk about complicated.<\/p>\n

This story is told from multiple perspectives\u2014mostly Leila and the mysterious Witness X\u2014and I was obsessed<\/em> with trying to figure out who Witness X was. Every time I thought I had it nailed, the story flipped everything on its head. I love a book that outsmarts me, and this one absolutely did.<\/p>\n

The characters are brilliantly written in that you truly don\u2019t know who to trust\u2014or even who to like. Everyone feels a little suspect, and that tension carries through the entire book. My biggest takeaway? Trust. No. One.<\/p>\n

And that ending\u2026 wow. It\u2019s one of those endings you\u2019re going to love, hate, and still somehow love anyway<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Once I got into it, I couldn\u2019t put it down. I had<\/em> to know what was really going on and whether anyone was telling the truth. This is hands-down one of the most addictive legal thrillers I\u2019ve read this year.<\/p>\n

Also\u2014this is being adapted for season 2 of Presumed Innocent<\/em> on Apple TV+, and I will absolutely be watching.<\/p>\n

If you love twisty, character-driven legal thrillers where nothing is as it seems, this one is a must-read.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you to NetGalley, Dutton, and Jo Murray for this twisty eARC.<\/p>\n
