The Suspect by Rob Rinder

 

The Suspect By Rob Rinder- crime

A brilliant, gripping read I raced through. When a TV presenter has a fatal anaphylactic shock on screen it appears that there can only be one suspect- the show's chef. There were strict rules as to what could be brought into the studio because of this and the chef insists that he adhered to them and is therefore innocent. Adam Green is the junior barrister on the case and finds out more behind the scenes than was first realised. This is the second in Rob’s barrister series and provides a fascinating insight into the world of law. They do stand alone however Adam’s rise and experience follow in order.

I love this series. It's clever and captivating with several proficient, well thought out twists which keep the pages turning. The sort of book I could happily read in one sitting. There is lots of drama and excellent characterisation- Adam is very likeable but also very grounded which you would expect in a barrister but not always found in his colleagues. It’s an absorbing and well paced intricate plot in an almost cozy crime type read. Rob has a talent and I most certainly hope that there is more to come. I love them.
