The Trials of Lila Dalton
by L.J. Shepherd
Imagine waking up in a courtroom, facing a man accused of a horrific crime, and not knowing who you are, or why you are there.
A very unique premise and I was hooked right from the start. I will admit it was a little hard to follow at the beginning. Reality and speculative fiction were intertwined beautifully. Lila Dalton, a very skilled barrister, comes to in a court room with a judge and 12 jurors looking at her, only to discover that she is the defense attorney in a terrorist case where 27 people died in a bombing. She has no memory of anything up to that very moment. She has to question everything and put on a face that she knows everything. Assumption Island, a fictional North Atlantic location where Lila Dalton must get her client off scot-free or end up losing her daughter There is a lot going on here. This is not a quick read. Take your time and watch this unfold.
This is a remarkable and impressive debut novel. I enjoyed it. This one is for those thriller fans and psychological thrill reads that like a good amount of court room drama. The twists were there, but I was able to see them coming.
