I'd not read Silver before but this made a fine standalone. Silver has created two good characters in Burton and Silver. This has enough twists to keep you guessing and while it's a stretch to call it a thriller. it's a good read.

This book took me by surprise. It kept me interested throughout the story and I needed to see what was going to happen. I truly enjoyed the pacing of the story and the well written characters. I would recommend this story to all.

I received an ARC copy from netgalley for my honest review, so thank you netgalley and publishers for offering me this book! ♡
The cover and title is what originally drew me to this book.
An elderly local artist plunges 100 feet to her death at an overstretched London hospital and the police immediately sense foul play. The hospital cleaner, a Syrian refugee and a loner, is arrested for her murder. He protests his innocence, but why has he given her the story of Aladdin to read, and why does he shake uncontrollably in times of stress? Judith Burton and Constance Lamb reunite to defend a man the media has already convicted. Together they uncover not only the cleaner’s secrets, but also those of the artist’s family, her lawyer and the hospital.
This was my first book by this author. It was alltogether an easy read. ♡ I give this book a
4.5 star rating!

I am reviewing a copy of The Aladdin Trial through Trafgar Square Publishing and Netgalley:


After an elderly artist plunges a hundred feet to her death at an overstretched London Hospital. The police immediately sensed foul play. They soon arrest a hospital cleaner a refugee from Syria and a loner. He protests his innocence but she can not understand why he had given her the story of Aladdin to read and why does
he shake so uncontrollably when he is stressed.


Judith Burton and Constance Lamb once again come together this time to defend a man who has been vilified by the media.



Together the two woman not only discover the hospital cleaners secrets but also those of the artists family, her lawyer and the hospita.


I give The Aladdin Trial five out of five star!



Happy Reading!
