A quick and enjoyable read. Fascinating insight into the legal world. It kept me guessing until the end. With the reveal at the end I realised that I had been given all the clues in the text but I had not been able to join the dots. Brilliantly executed.
I followed the case against the defendant. Waiting for him to be Inocent and the true Killer found Noway would I have found the truth. Refreshing plot I needed this Thx Mr Graf for this inspirational Murder mystery.
