Summary
Bloomsbury presents Beyond Reasonable Doubt by Gary Bell, read by Hugh Kermode.
LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD 2020
The start of a thrilling new legal series, perfect for fans of Robert Galbraith and The Secret Barrister, written by an acclaimed QC.
Elliot Rook QC is one of the greatest barristers of his generation.
He is also a complete fraud.
Elliot Rook is the epitome of a highly successful, old Etonian QC. Or so everyone believes. In fact, he is an ex-petty criminal with a past that he has spent decades keeping secret. Until now…
An unidentified young woman of Middle Eastern origin has been found murdered on the outskirts of Rook’s home town. Billy Barber – a violent football hooligan and white-supremacist – is accused of her murder. Barber insists that Rook must defend him. If Rook refuses, Barber will expose him, bringing crashing to the ground the life and career that Rook has spent his life building.
The truth is there for the finding. But at what cost?

Thriller from a different angle
As a former police officer I often can’t stomach Police thrillers because of procedural inaccuracies so it was refreshing to read something written from a different angle. I accept that a barrister is highly unlikely to leave their office and do some pukka investigations but I can forgive this because of an excellent storyline and compelling read. Will start in the next one in the series straight away!

Brilliant debut, excellent narration
The main character seems implausible, till you find out it is based on the writer’s real life story. The secondary character is also fantastic. Pacy storyline with lots of twists and excellent narration (I don’t think I have listened to High Kermode before) - for me a narrator makes or breaks an audiobook. I don’t normally listen to legal crime fiction, preferring police procedurals, but immediately downloaded the second (even better, Gary Bell replied to my tweet saying how much I enjoyed this one!). Hoping there will be more than just two.

Britain's answer to James Patterson
Fantastic story, and very well read, a real page turner of a book, (metaphorically speaking).

Story good, narration not good.
Stilted, unnatural narration was really annoying but the story was good so persevered. Might avoid books with same narrator.
