A love a sneaky main character! This was a nicely paced mystery with some twists but not eye-rolling twists, Very enjoyable. Would like to see more from these characters!

A completely different kind of mystery from McTiernan’s Cormac Reilly series, which I gobble up, readers will be transfixed following a law student who becomes involved with a project to prove the innocence of a convicted murderer. While her own motives unfurl, her mother’s story is told in diary excerpts. Using her legal background to good effect, McTiernan’s pace never lags. A nuanced story with a tough, steely protagonist. One to be savored.

I love, love, love adult mystery/thrillers that I can recommend to my high school students. They will eat up this tale of delicious revenge gone wrong. The pacing is solid, the main character is developed well (supporting characters could use a bit more depth), and the ending is a terrific twist.

If you're looking for an excellent fast paced book about revenge, this is the book for you! I got into the story really quick and finished it within a day because I just had to know what happened next. The book is filled with twists and turns and a couple things that I did not see coming! All in all a great fast-paced thriller/mystery/revenge tale all rolled into one. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this Arc in exchange for a honest review.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Classic diabolical revenge story. I absolutely enjoyed this calculating story of fighting back against the system from the inside. The story was magically we’ve together with a dynamic main character. I really really enjoyed it.
