As twists and secrets are revealed, will Sarah be able to prove her husband’s innocence before it’s too late?

Review of this book are really polarized, and I can see why! I had to really suspend my disbelief to enjoy this book for what it was—there is no way a criminal defense attorney would be able to represent her husband in his trial for the murder of his mistress, and there were a lot of other legal system inaccuracies that I had to choose to ignore or I wouldn’t have finished the book. Once I got past that, the plot and the twists kept me interested. I was able to guess most of the major twists or at least the gist of them. The writing wasn’t anything groundbreaking but I was entertained. The characters were all terrible people and it was hard to cheer for any of them, but I think that was kind of the point.
