"Taut, gritty and compelling. This book deserves to be huge." (Louise Jensen, million-copy best-selling author of The Sister)

"Intense, shocking and so real you can literally feel its heartbeat...." (Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me and The Party)

I am astonished by how amazing Kia work is and how I had never heard of them before. The story is nothing I thought it would be! The plot twist … WOW! Kia writing style/format made it easier for me to follow, comprehend and read at a higher pace and if I had to do things and can’t read it was all I could do not to think about it - why I got the audio book as I needed to know ASAP what was next in the book.
I NEED MORE OF KIA ABDULLAH BOOKS!

This courtroom drama was great on audio. I think having three actors voicing the different parts really helped make the characters distinct. Definitely recommend the audio version of this book

Excellent courtroom drama
