The Holdout - Graham Moore - Mystery/ Crime

“The real killer could be any of the other ten jurors. Is Maya being forced to pay

the price for her decision all those years ago?”

Ten years ago Maya and Rick were part of  jury who found Bobby Nock innocent of the

murder of Jessica Silver. Jessica was the daughter of a wealthy statesman and she

was never seen again- a body was never found. Maya famously changed the whole

jury from 11-1 guilty when they started to a non guilty verdict.She went on to become

a successful defence lawyer. For the ten year anniversary a TV show wants to get

together the remaining jury members. Maya isn’t sure about this at all but her

company wants her to go and support her.. Rick says he has new evidence to show

that they were all wrong- Bobby did kill Jessica after all. When one of the jurors is

then found dead- could it be one of the others? Is Maya safe or is she about to pay

the price for speaking out all those years ago? Oooh!!! This gripped me early on

. chapters flip between what went on at the trial and now and are easy to follow.

I quickly liked Maya as she fought for what she believed in and wasn’t a push over

just to get a quick verdict. A jury story with a difference- a real difference!

A brilliantly written thrilling read that kept me in its grip to the very last page
