Abi Silver (Lightning And Eye)
A classic thriller set in London, where the dynamic legal team of Judith Burton and Constance Lamb are drafted in following the suspected murder of a hospital patient and the subsequent arrest of a Syrian refugee. As they plot their defence a myriad of strands are uncovered during the search for the truth. A fast-paced drama that grips from the outset, the different facets of the story which detai characters’ journeys eventually culminate in a suspenseful and distinctive verdict. Even without having read the first book in the Burton and Lamb thriller series, The Aladdin Trial didn’t feel as if I’d missed out on key background events; this reader is looking forward to following up the series further.
