Jury Duty

Oregon Coast / Seavy Village

by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Pamela Jackson’s secrets forced her to change her identity and move to the Oregon Coast. When Pamela finds herself called to jury duty—and worse, selected for the jury on a murder trial—she fears she must see it through to keep up appearances as an upstanding citizen. But Pamela might know a little too much about murder to pull it off.“Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style.”—Ed Gorman Mystery Scene Magazine

Reviews

Liked it, but there were so many open questions not answered mostly, what happened in the main character past?

[Howard Brazee]

Excellent story.

It is interesting that the well-educated main character (I hesitate to call her the protagonist, as she is a murderer), irritates me by saying "I could care less", instead of "I couldn't care less". But we aren't supposed to like her.
