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.

I didn't realise this was book 4, but honestly, it didn't seem to matter too much. I picked up the character fairly quickly and it made me want to read the previous books. 

I enjoyed this story, I've never read a book like this. The murderer in on the Jury which sounds like you know who they are and what they do, but it does take a while for the story to unwrap completely, keeping you gripped.

Not as gripping as I thought it would be. This is the second legal thriller I’ve read this year & I’m realizing that they just might not be my thing.

This book follows a clever serial killer in the act of murder and in trial. There’s a plot twist of the killer being on the jury, but will the infamous Eddie Flynn find him before it’s too late. This book is intense and graphical.
