This is a fascinating legal thriller book with engaging characters, written by the author who experienced in criminal law in her life. This is my second book of her writing, I read ” Depth of Lies”, and I love them both!! I normally don’t like the story that reveal the criminal at the beginning, but this book is something different. I still very enjoyed the fear and thrill on every scenes.
Abby Donovan is a lawyer at a big law firm, the story begins from her riding on wrong train in midnight, end up to get off in bad area where murder, drugs and gang things happen. She is so frightened to be in full of danger, subsequently she pops in a pub in which leading her to deeply involve in huge mess and life threatening without her knowing it.
Abby is a brave but also has weakness girl who has a scar in her past, hide her secret in her mask, and struggle to find what she deserves for. She keeps push herself in another skin, she lost her love because of it, however, she reveals herself piecemeal. She release her sense of sin and starts to live her own life at last. I’m pretty into her character. I usually don’t like to read struggling love story, though it’s not overwhelming not disturbing her involvement of crime. Her love to David is beautiful and I couldn’t stop expecting her happiness at all.
The thrill that she is involved in is not only murder, she also stands for evading obnoxious power. It is such a exhilarating story in which a lady throw the corruptions into confusion and bite them up.
I literally couldn’t put this book down, the last part comes up to like I predicted though still, seizing someone hiding the gap in law and beating weakness, is great thing to read.
