The Suspect is the second book by Rob Rinder and both feature junior barrister Adam Green. The Suspect works as a stand-alone novel but there are returning characters from the previous book, The Trial.
It did take me a little while to get into the story but once it hooked me I couldn't put it down. I'm fond of Adam Green as a character, I enjoy reading about his relationship with his Mum, who thinks he works too hard and needs to find a girlfriend. I also like how he is growing in his profession and how he is learning to navigate the moral dilemmas and challenges of being a barrister. I'm hoping to see Adam star in future novels from this author.
The writing style is very easy to read. It's knowledgeable about the court system as you would expect but the plot isn't bogged down with too much detail. It's the perfect balance.
My thanks to Random House UK, Cornerstone and Netgalley for providing me with an early review copy.
