This is the first book I have read by this author and I believe is the first in a series of stories with lawyer Josie Baylor-Bates as the central character.
Josie is drawn into defending Hannah Sheraton, the 16 year old daughter of Josie's former friend, Linda Rayburn. Hannah has OCD and is charged with the murder of her grandfather, Supreme Court Judge Fritz Rayburn.
I'm glad I gave this author a try and found it a reasonable read if a touch tedious and predictable in parts. The character of Josie does have potential and while I won't be desperately raking about to ensure I obtain other books in the series, I may well consider giving them a go to see if the flow of subsequent stories is taken up a notch or two.
It provided a satisfying enough read but I didn't find it a particularly avid page turner hence the mediocre three star grading.

The first I have read by this author, & it won't be the last. Several legal thrillers have left me cold, but this was engrossing. fast paced, complex, with only a couple of minor gripes, (just occasionally too much unnecessary irrelevant description ).I guessed the who, but the point was proving it. Most unusual characters, very well researched. I will buy more . This was free and an excellent marketing strategy that was.

After reading the same old authors for many years, I thought I would try someone new. I picked this book mainly from the customer reviews. What a surprise! The book is excellent and I was rivetted all the way through. I shall be reading more Rebecca Forster. I hope they are as good as this one was. Definitely recommended!

Good when free on kindle
The good bits of this book are the way it gets inside the female characters' heads. The male characters are all very flat and stereotypical, especially Archer. Read more
