This book centers around Rachel North, a law school student married to Jack, a defense attorney. Rachel takes an "internship" in the District Attorney's office. Rachel had been a juror on a case that both Jack and the DA were involved in. During the time when she was a juror, she was a staffer working for the Senate President. While an intern, the case of a Senate President staffer who was murdered, is reopened by the DA and Rachel has to assist.

The story is told via alternating voices - Jack, Rachel and Martha, the DA. I try not to figure out mysteries and just immerse myself in the story so I did not try to figure out who the culprit is.

I've really enjoyed reading Hank's book - I discovered her recently - and this one did not disappoint. ( )

When it comes to thrillers Hank Phillippi Ryan does not disappoint. As with her other books, you will be hooked immediately and will be flipping pages quickly to rush to see what is going to happen next. Then you will be in for a surprise as you reach the end and say, "did not see that coming." Highly recommend for anyone that wants to read a very good book that will keep you interested through the end. ( )

I loved Hank Phillippi Ryan’s “Trust Me”, so I was excited to see a new book coming out. Unfortunately I did not feel that excitement once I started reading. I never felt any real connection to any of the characters.
We have two lawyers and one soon to be a lawyer. One lawyer is married to the soon to be lawyer. The two lawyers despise each other. The soon to be a lawyer is now going to be working with the despised lawyer... And this is kind of how I felt reading the book.
The story flips back-and-forth between now and six years ago. I think that might be part of my disconnection. At first I found it hard to keep track of which time we were in, along with who was who in each period.
I also feel that just as a character’s point of view was getting interesting, the chapter stopped and moved to a new character. It just left me feeling detached from each character.
3.5 stars rounded up. ( )

I don't like legal thrillers, but this was a suspense/mystery/thriller about lawyers, which I like just fine! Fast paced and deviously plotted, with Hank's characteristic wit and razor sharp dialogue. She's done it again! Another stellar read with a crafty twist!
