Every Reasonable Doubt by Pamela Samuels Young
5.0
What would you do if your husband was a serial cheater? In the case of Tina Montgomery, everyone assumes murdering him was her way out and the ultimate revenge. But for Vernetta Henderson, an employment lawyer, defending her client Mrs. Montgomery with her arduous partner Netty is her sole focus. Meanwhile, on the sidelines of Vernetta’s high profile case is her husband Jefferson who waits at home longing for his wife to be ready to start a family. While Vernetta struggles to master criminal law, something vastly different than her employment law background, she must also balance her professional goals with the demands she faces at home.
We loved the depth of the characters and the plot twists kept us wanting more! A great courtroom drama with a leading successful Black woman felt like an episode of How to Get Away with Murder that you couldn’t turn off! Vernetta’s conflicts in a male dominated profession along with her marital ebbs and flow make her a relatable character. The high profile case added additional layers to the storyline and just when you think you’ve solved the case, author Pamela Samuels Young takes the reader on a thrilling and unexpected turn!
