Captivating
The best non fiction book i’ve ever read, couldn’t put it down. Nazir’s writing and career are so interesting, inspirational and leave you wanting more.

A mix of autobiography and insights into some well known cases and developments in the law. It’s very focused on ideas the author pushed forward.
An incredible memoir they focuses on the role of the prosecutor and the CPS in a way that I have never read or understood before. This well-written and capturing account of a career in British justice in recent decades details some well-known crimes and how reforms and miscarriages of justice have happened throughout that time.
Nazir Afzal brings such a personal and likeable approach to both his writing and to the work he has done: in going against the grain, challenging stereotypes, racism and cultural issues, and serving the British public. It becomes clear how pivotal change has been in adapting the law and prosecution to be fit for purpose in the modern climate as well as examining what can be done better for a fair and just society.
This was a brilliant read and a fascinating insight in to this side of our legal system.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Nazir's career through his own words. The structure and pacing were great throughout the book.
My only negatives were that the book wasn't longer with more details of his career, and that there weren't content warnings as some passages had details of crimes.
