Pretty good book! It feels like an episode of Criminal Minds. It's a pretty court-heavy crime drama, but the pacing and other elements of the story keep it from getting boring. There are a lot of layers to the story and the crime involved and a few minor plot twists that I didn't see coming. It does take a bit to really get going, but I still enjoyed it. I think this book is part of a series, but I read it as a standalone and didn't have any trouble understanding it.

Extremely cool premise for the story - you know from the start that the killer has infiltrated the jury in order to frame someone for the murder they committed. Don't need to read the earlier books in the series at all for context on the main character. Fast paced and imperfect but an easy book to blast through.
