michaelbereading 's review for:
The Trials of Lila Dalton
by L.J. Shepherd
fast-paced
Lila Dalton, a woman with amnesia, wakes up in a courtroom to find herself the lawyer for a man accused of mass murder. Stranded on a remote island where the most serious crimes are tried, she must prove her client's innocence while struggling to trust anything around her, including her own memory.
This has a super interesting premise, and a really strong start, but if I'm being honest.... It was a mess. There were just so many ideas happening simultaneously that it was hard to follow. It felt like the author was trying really hard to include surprising things, but it got way too convoluted and none of the ideas were fully realized. This could have used another round or two of editing.
I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley and this is my voluntary and unbiased review.
