The Defence is a fun, fast paced legal thriller with high stakes, and a hell of a lot of action.
Clearly a debut, it is not the best prose I have ever read, and I would say that the plot is very typical of this type of story.
HOWEVER, it is just so much fun. Eddie Flynn is a fun character to follow, with his witty lines and sleight of hand antics, and I think what really sets this book apart from the rest of it's ilk, is the accuracy of the scenes that take place in court, and the satisfaction you get from reading them.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I would definitely recommend The Defence if you like action-thrillers and you're in the market for one with a legal twist, and I will for sure be moving on to The Plea!
