Told from the viewpoints of a wife and a prosecuting barrister, and flipping between current events and 15 years previously, to begin with I was a bit annoyed at the lack of a voice of the victim at the heart of the crime we hear in court... But as the story develops and the characters history is revealed, I think not having Olivia voice as part of the narrative works to the books' strength.

I'm the current political climate, where we have seen senior politicians in court accused of sexual assault, the book also strikes a realistic tone. A CW of rape is important to note. Highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they know exactly what face politicians have, because there is always another story to tell.
