Member Review

I was a little nervous before I started The Trial. Sometimes a well-known personality writes an ill-advised work of fiction and it absolutely bombs. For every Richard Osman book flying off the shelves, there are lots of charity shops full to the brim of other writer's unloved novels.

Would Rob Rinder deliver? The answer is, wholeheartedly, yes! The Trial tells the story of a young student barrister, working all hours to try and get a permanent job. He is surrounded by fully qualified lawyers who help and hinder him as he takes on the biggest job of his life.

There are twists and turns aplenty in this book. I found myself guessing and second guessing throughout. One character irritated me beyond belief, in a good way.

Rinder has a great future in crime writing. This will be a smash hit!

Many thanks to Rob Rinder, NetGalley, and Random House UK, Cornerstone for this copy.
