Along with his pupil master, they are given a case of defending a murder suspect, but Adam finds himself doing most of the work, believing in his client's innocence. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher who provided an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Adam is determined to prove his clients innocence despite all the evidence against him and his pupil masters obvious feelings about the case. I’m afraid that I did not particularly enjoy the style of writing, which I found a little amateurish.

And I am here to assure you that this smart, twisty and captivating courtroom mystery is well worth your time. The author, as well as being a likeable TV celeb and, I assume, a very good barrister in his own rights, has also proved to be an excellent storyteller, drawing me in from the first page. There’s a moment where you realise that what you’re doing has the most profound value to uphold democracy under the rule of law’ … Rinder on ITV’s Judge Rinder. I would, however, have loved more of Adam's mother, whose character has echoes of Maureen Lipman - "You get an 'ology', you're a scientisr! An inspiring and informative interactive guide written for children of all ages, to get them thinking about what sports they enjoy the most or could be interested in.Rinder later gave up acting because his peer and later close friend, Benedict Cumberbatch, "was so good". BBC announces The Holy Land And Us: Our Untold Stories, a brave and emotional new documentary series presented by Sarah Agha and Rob Rinder". He created his own identity, his own voice, with his clipped tones – “I describe myself as being mugged by a Mitford” – and I can picture Rinder as a sophisticated teenage raconteur amid bewildered school friends. The hero policeman, Grant Cliveden, was poisoned, with all the evidence pointing to Jimmy Knight, a criminal he helped to convict.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel following Adam Green's first case: a tricky one in which he is to second his pompous disinterested pupil master in the defence of an ex-con accused of the murder of a seemingly exemplary police officer.I certainly hope this novel is the beginning of a new series and I look forward to reading more from the author in the future. There is something golden about his colouring – hair, skin, eyes – that makes him look cherubic, and gives him an added sheen of fun. So the story begins with the murder of a highly respected police officer who was attending a courtroom in the Old Bailey and the repercussions from that send shock waves throughout the both the police and public. In 2020, Rob was awarded an MBE for his services to Holocaust education and an honorary doctorate for his legal work. The 28-year-old, who was Golden Boot winner when the Lionesses won the 2022 Euros, shares her football knowledge and encourages the reader throughout to work hard to focus on becoming the best they can be in their favourite individual or team sport.

Taylor-Cameron hopes to persuade him to plead guilty, and it is left to Adam to work up a case – and, in doing so, try to figure out who actually killed Cliveden. Young, enthusiastic, determined and dedicated to the truth and justice, we follow Adam's journey through the courtcase and what Adam has to endure as someone who doesn't quite fit it. If you’re looking for a fun beach read, you could do a lot worse than this tale of rival mediums duking it out in Victorian London.For those who prefer something pacier and more contemporary, there’s plenty of edge-of-the-seat stuff in Olivia Kiernan’s first standalone thriller. When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core. It wasn’t so much that I was worried about being gay, as much as doing something that would make my mum fearful for me. I saw a review of this one and although I am not a great fan of courtroom dramas, having probably overdose on Perry Mason (and Ironside?

Rinder still practises law to the extent that he lectures, offers advice to some organisations and mentors young barristers. His courtroom includes a gavel and flag of the United Kingdom, neither of which is used in British courts but are on display in American courts and televised court programmes, and his show has been criticised as " The Jeremy Kyle Show set in a small-claims court".

He's a very likeable character who has worked hard to be where he is and he still believes that the British Judicial service is the best in the world.
