This was a book of two halves. The first half is all set up. Emma Webster is an MP, a divorced mother who is championing a bill to make it a crime to share revenge porn (sex videos filmed with consent but released without it after a relationship ends). She also has a teenage daughter who is being bullied at school. The book opens with a body lying at the bottom of a flight of stairs and gradually it emerges that Emma has been charged with murder.
To be honest I found the first half of the book pretty sluggish but it gets more exciting in the second half which covers the trial. There are too many things that are deliberately withheld, presumably to create tension but instead they just annoyed me. Also, some of the twists are underwhelming. It was an interesting story but I never really cared a great deal about any of it.
