Fun, frothy, funny, well written and of course for all its lightheartedness it is well researched and legally spot on and nothing is quite what it seems which ensures that the reader's interest is heightened and maintained.

This is the second book by an author who is speedily finding a niche for himself. I really enjoyed it and read it quickly and with contentment.

Thanks PRH & NetGalley for the early copy! This was another excellent addition to the Adam Green series and he’s fast becoming a great character in a fantastic series. I really enjoy how the plot/case is secondary to the detail within what life is really like working in a chambers, and how complex building a case or defence can be. The plot overall is good and fast paced but for me the best part of the books are all the inner workings of this part of the law, and how justice and life don’t always pan out as you’d expect. Really hope there’s more to come, and hope it continues in a way of showing the reader the inner workings of the court system and the conflict of emotions barristers and judges may feel. If anything I wish this was a bit longer just because I really enjoy the characters and set up of the series!

I'm conflicted.

I found it very easy to read and at no point did I want to stop. I like Adam. I like his moral, slightly dopey demeanour. His wide eyed star struck personality interspersed with the standing up for what he believes bits.

I struggled with the plot. It just went nowhere for 75% and only really picked up once the trial started. There were a lot of red herrings and leads but they just went no where. No one cared about them for the trial. But what was the point in writing about them? It just all felt a bit pointless. I just could have read the first chapters and the last chapters and had a full story. It felt like some of those other threads through the centre needed to be focused on more from a readers point of view. Its all well and good Suzy saying, it's not our job to shove it on someone else. But honestly, it made for fairly boring reading.

The gang storyline was a good subplot in highlighting the moral elements of the job and also showing Adam that his heros and tutors aren't always perfect. From a characterisation point I enjoyed this element.

Definitely conflicted. I enjoyed some elements and as a whole it was an easy read. But I just didn't find it entertaining throughout the whole book.

Hannah Holby is the darling of UK Breakfast TV. So when she dies most unexpectedly, her adoring public is horrified. But not as horrified as they are when it turns out that Hannah was murdered...

Who could possibly have done such a thing to such a popular presenter?

Although suspicion initially falls on a celebrity chef, it turns out Hannah is not nearly as widely-beloved as her media personality and presence would lead one to believe. So Adam Green, a junior barrister, has his hands full as the authorities tried to to determine whoREALLYdunit!

This is an appetizing book in which the writing flows easily. You will quickly make your way through this absorbing read. Recommended to mystery lovers.

A deliciously engaging whodunit in an easy writing style that combines thrills with humour.
Well paced with a solid plot and interesting characters.
Read in two sittings and felt thoroughly satisfied by the conclusion.
