supernova0411 's review for:

You Don't Know Me by Imran Mahmood
3.0

Once you pick up this book, you'll be transported into a courtroom.

You've sat through over 3 weeks of a murder trial, and it's finally closing speeches. The young man on trial fires his lawyer and gives the speech himself.

The evidence is against him, but he goes through each of the 8 pieces one by one, explaining them. In the end, it's up to you to decide if you believe him or not.

Guilty or Not Guilty. The decision is yours. Once you finish this you'll be desperate for other people to read it and see if they came to the same verdict as you.

The speech is a stunning, well written insight into gang life on the streets of London. Gang culture, societal problems and the things people will do for love are all addressed in this intense, well written page turner. I am certainly an Imran Mahmood fan after this simply stunning debut.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the advance copy of this book
