About this deal

Brilliant courtroom drama, humorous as you would expect from Rob, and one that I had to read slowly because I didn't want it to end' Heidi Perks With its intricate plot, even pacing, and interesting cast of characters The Trial by criminal barrister and television personality Rob Rinder is a cleverly crafted courtroom drama/ murder mystery with plenty of twists and surprises along the way. The narrative flows well and the author also injects a healthy dose of humor into the narrative. Adam is a very likable protagonist and I loved how the author describes the dynamic he shares with his colleagues, the competitive work environment and his courtroom scenes. I also enjoyed the telephone conversations between Adam and his mother, who frets over her son’s well-being and is intent on finding him a girlfriend. Adam’s personal history and his motivation for helping Jimmy are skillfully woven into the narrative without compromising the pace or suspense. Though a few aspects of the mystery were not entirely hard to predict, this did not detract from the overall reading experience. The ending, though not entirely convincing, did come as a surprise, which is always a good thing!

The chapters are interspersed with transcripts of telephone calls and messages between Adam and his "typical Jewish mother", who is determined to marry Adam off to a nice Jewish girl and ensure he is eating properly. This adds a little humour to the story and also provides a closer look into Adam and why he wants to be a barrister. I absolutely loved this book. It showed great insight into the court processes, was full of extremely well crafted and believable characters, full of twists and turns, and I didn't want it to end. I really hope Rob Rinder writes a sequel and it isn't the last we have heard of Adam Green.In November 2020, Rinder released My Family, the Holocaust and Me for BBC One; a documentary which helped Jewish families discover the full truth about what happened to their relatives during the Holocaust. The documentary received widespread acclaim, and "a vital history lesson". [30] In August 2023, it was announced that Rinder will co-present with Philippa Langley - The Lost Princes (w/t), an upcoming Channel 4 history documentary.

The only thing that's certain is that this is a trial which will push Adam - and the justice system itself - to the limit. . . Adam has personal reasons for trying to clear Jimmy’s name despite his guilt seeming to be obvious and he works hard to find out the truth of the case before trial. He learns that the deceased was not quite as saintly as he first appeared.

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. Photograph: ITVA ridiculously entertaining whodunit. The Trial is sharp, witty and has a huge amount of heart' Tom Hindle In March 2023, Rinder released The Holy Land and Us: Our Untold Stories [34] for BBC Two; a two-part documentary exploring the personal stories of families of Jewish and Palestinian heritage. Robert Michael Rinder MBE ( / ˈ r ɪ n d ər/; born 31 May 1978) better known as Judge Rinder, is a British criminal barrister and television personality. [1] In 2014, while still a practising barrister, he began hosting the reality courtroom series Judge Rinder. In 2019, he also began hosting the Channel 4 series The Rob Rinder Verdict. Rinder still brings joy to TV – his facial expressions when he competed on Strictly Come Dancing are seared into my brain – but in recent times he has made serious and moving documentaries, including an exploration of Israel and Palestine and My Family, the Holocaust and Me, both for the BBC. His maternal grandfather, known as Morris, was born in Poland; his family were sent to the Treblinka camp, where they were murdered, but Morris, a fit young man, was sent to work in a factory, then to other forced-labour camps. Being the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor, says Rinder, has “informed my politics, my view of the world, my instinctive reaction to people, this idea of who in the community is a bystander, a rescuer, a perpetrator”. In 1945, his grandfather was one of several hundred Jewish orphans who were flown to the Lake District to begin new lives; Morris lied, saying he was younger than he was to get here. There are parallels with today’s migrant crisis, with young people, particularly men, accused of “faking” their age to come to the UK. Battson, Francesca. "Judge Rinder: Everything you need to know".

A+E Networks® UK commissions new true crime show with Robert Rinder". aenetworks.tv . Retrieved 7 September 2022. An exciting start to what promises to be an excellent series, with an appealing central character' The Guardian Public hero and “pride of the nation” DI Grant Cliveden collapses in Old Bailey just minutes before giving testimony in a drug case. All evidence points to him being poisoned and the prime suspect is career felon Jimmy Knight, who has only recently been released after serving a ten-year sentence for armed robbery. Jimmy had a history with the deceased and had met with him in a local pub before his death. The theory is that Jimmy slipped the poison in Cliveden's drink. Though there is no forensic evidence linking Jimmy to the poisoning, he is arrested and set to be tried for murder, based on the discovery of a burner phone, from which he sent a text message setting up the meeting, in his possession and CCTV footage of the same meeting which shows Jimmy buying Cliveden a drink.
