If you like thrillers and languages, this is a 5 star candidate for you. I love languages but do NOT like thrillers and will not be going back to one for a while 🤣

Loved the premise of the book - court interpreter and mistranslation and the impact a third party can have on real lives. Somewhere it dragged for me and didn't feel like what I signed up to reading the blurb but some parts as a thriller were great, urging me to read on till the end. I can imagine lots of people enjoying it.
