The Night Lawyer by Alex Churchill
5.0

Gripping, suspense-filled & unputdownable debut!

I was hooked from the prologue, I had to know what happened! Which of course meant I didn't put it down until I'd turned the very last page.

Sophie is a brilliant main character, a complex, and intriguing. Her latest case is thrown into the spotlight as she pieces together the evidence we alongside her are trying to work who is telling the truth - Who is innocent? Who is guilty? It shows the devastating impact trial by media can have in this day age and difficulty of having a truly fair trial when social media influence is so far-reaching, what happened to innocence until proven guilty?

It packs a punch commentating on present-day problems within the justice system in England, thought-provoking - certain to illicit an opinion and discussion it would make an interesting book club read.

A fabulous debut, you won't want to miss. I for one hope there is a book two for Sophie in the making!

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Red Door Press for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
