3.5

This book was engaging, well-paced, and had a solid mystery. But, as someone working in journalism, there were several things that were very illogical from the journalist lead character, and I don’t think the trial was as realistic as it could have been. It got to the point where it was a disservice to how real trials are, portraying more of a TV version. It missed the mark for me.
