In a nutshell
Jane Smith is the best criminal defence attorney in the Hamptons. She is tough and strong and is as good at investigating crimes as she is at defending her clients. As she is preparing to defend a high-profile client accused of a triple homicide and simultaneously hired to revive a cold case of unsolved murders, she receives a devastating medical diagnosis. She has a year to live.
Book Club Notes
This is your typical James Patterson thriller, with the typical badass female lead, the typical heroes, the typical villains, and the typical trajectory. The writing is so-so and there is nothing that’s going to knock your socks off. But, it’s not a draggy read, gets to the point quickly and it will hold your attention from start to finish. This book is the thriller equivalent of a feel good fluffy romcom.
