Summary
What would you do if someone murdered your child, but the justice system let you down?
Kathryn Walters is faced with this dreadful decision when her daughter, Shelley, is found dead in her boyfriend's flat. Despite the best efforts of the Crown Prosecution barrister, Sarah Newby, it seems possible that the boyfriend, David Kidd, may be acquitted. Should her family tolerate this? Or seek their own form of justice through revenge?
Sarah Newby finds herself defending a client who is reluctant to give evidence on her own behalf, and refuses to explain why she chose Sarah to defend her in the first place.
This book is a 2012 B.R.A.G Medallion Honoree

Appalling Narrator
This was a real disappointment which I should perhaps have anticipated after listening to the first in the series. The first experience was spoiled by the failed narration and I had hoped for a different narrator this time, as the story last time was good. Sadly not. The same narrator ruined an otherwise enjoyable listen. I had decided to give it a chance but simply could not bear to keep listening. All the men sound like women and the women (in order to differentiate from the men) sound like schoolgirls. Just awful. I would suggest that if the books are to succeed audibly, that the narration is passed on to someone who can manage it.

Easygoing read - not the best narrator
This is a good easygoing read but for me the narrator was not good enough. Her male voices often sounded feminine, and her efforts at an American accent when Miranda is disguising herself are risible. Later Miranda, born and educated in England speaks with an American accent to her mother - very unlikely after only a few years as an adult in the US. The narrator's voice in general is good, unobtrusive and not jarring, but she needs to work on male voices. Readers should take more care and practice accents before recording.

Appalling reader ruins mediocre story
Having read the first book in the series I expected more of this. It's uncomfortably long, drags, misses obvious plot links and the main character, Newby, suddenly drops out of character and, right when she should be fighting a case most fiercely, turns into a whimpering loser who's misses key evidence and fails to challenge witnesses in any credible way.
However, it's the reader that really ruins this. In a book with various characters and accents, this reader fails miserably. American characters suddenly turn into Devonshire farm girls and she can't even keep that consistent throughout.
Avoid the pain and read the next book in the series to yourself.
