The Night Lawyer by Alex Churchill
4.0


This is the story of Sophie, criminal barrister and night lawyer newspaper. ⁣

I really enjoyed following Sophie along with her work and social life, it was written well and I wanted to turn the page to find out more.⁣

It was a fascinating read for anyone who loves an in-depth look at the British legal system. It was detailed and informative and taught me a lot about the failings of a justice system that we rely on and is something I will look deeper into. I studied law and I think that added to my enjoyed of this book as it looked more heavily at the system than some of the more mainstream books that tend to romanticise the field.⁣

I also enjoyed the added element that Sophie was originally from Russia as it added to the narrative and taught me more about cultural differences I was unaware of. ⁣

I would love to see another book in this series.⁣ Thank you to @reddoorbooks for my #gifted copy in exchange for review
