About this listen

THE FIRST LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING SECRET BARRISTER WRITING AS S. J. FLEET
_____


It is one of the biggest trials of the year. Three seventeen-year-old boys are accused of the brutal murder of an elderly teacher on New Year's Eve.

Each boy denies it.
Each points the finger at the other two.
But they can’t all be innocent.

The three defence barristers have only one job: to persuade the jury that their client is not guilty. But they’re up against a prosecutor who needs to win the case, no matter the cost.

Because when the game is murder, the competition is deadly.

Launching a brilliant new voice in crime fiction, a criminal barrister with an incomparable insider’s knowledge, The Cut Throat Trial is the most gripping thriller of the year.

I listened to this over several long drives - and almost had to keep driving until I'd finished.

It was a bit of a busman's holiday, as I work in the same area, and I looked forward hearing a new take. Whoa, this woke me up from my ennui and I was gripped from start to finish. Hearing the story unfold from each of the players added to the layers. The last chapter/epilogue was esquisite. Thank you SB - er - SJF. Give up this court thing and WRITE MORE NOVELS!!!

Perfectly crafted
