The Trial – Rob Rinder ★★★★

Blurb; An unputdownable murder mystery by Britain’s best-loved criminal barrister Rob Rinder. ONE MURDER. ONE IMPOSSIBLE CASE. WHO IS GUILTY? When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from a poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core. The evidence points to one man. Jimmy Knight has been convicted of multiple offences before and defending him will be no easy task. Not least because this is trainee barrister Adam Green’s first case. But it will quickly become clear that Jimmy Knight is not the only person in Cliveden’s past with an axe to grind. The only thing that’s certain is that this is a trial which will push Adam – and the justice system itself – to the limit . . .



My Review; OMG! This is one you all need to go and pre-order. It is amazing. The main character, Adam, is doing a year as a pupil in the Chambers, hoping to get accepted to stay. He gets landed a HUGE case and is constantly striving to give his best in this case and all his smaller cases, too. What unravels is a lot of secrets, betrayal, lies, and corruption. It certainly becomes a very messy and complicated case in which the media are following every step. With pressure rising, threats, and even his life potentially being in danger, how will Adam handle this case? Alongside his career, we get a good look into his personal family life, and there are also some issues there that are causing him stress. Adam is one determined character who deserves his place in Chambers, the truth to be set free and for a happy ending. I can’t believe this is a Debut! It’s a clever, complex story but addictive. A page turner. Gripping. I would highly recommend this story to you all, written by one of our favourite judges, Rob Rinder. A well-deserved four stars from me.
