I received a free advance e-copy of this book and have chosen to write an honest and unbiased review. I have no personal affiliation with the author. Wow! This is the kind of novel I like to read. James is ‘a real piece of work’ as well as his friend Tom. He likes to live life ‘just on the edge.’ He is accused of rape by a coworker with whom he recently ended an affair. The question is: Did she consent or did she tell him no and he still forced himself on her? He has privilege and power as a prominent minister of Parliament and takes advantage of it. He appears to be a loving husband and father. This story is full of lies, secrets, deceit, and betrayal. The prosecutor has a dark secret that she has kept hidden from everyone for years. This is a well-written novel with an amazing plot and excellent character development. Full of twists and turns. I couldn’t put it down. I love the ending. This timely novel is well worth the read and I look forward to reading more from Sarah Vaughn in the future.
