I would give this book 3.5 stars. The book started out slow but toward the middle, it really picked up and became interesting. I loved the different characters points of view. I felt myself sympathizing with each of the characters in the beginning and had a difficult time figuring out who I should be "rooting" for. But as in real life, there are two sides to every story and this one is no different. But who do you believe? And who do you sympathize with? I sometimes got a little lost with the British references but it didn't detract at all from the book. I did enjoy learning about the British legal system however. Once the book picked up, I couldn't put it down and it was very satisfying. Overall a good book!
