The Murder List by Hank Phillippi Ryan

 

Innocent or Guilty!

A fine line that hinges on...Truth.

Sounds simple enough, until you ask the question.

Whose truth?

Prepare yourself for the pandemonium shift in mind frame that this question will unleash.

In The Murder List, author Hank Phillippi Ryan rips apart at a lot of our preconceived thoughts about the justice system.

With a mastery honed by being an award winning investigative journalist, Hank takes us on an exhilarating journey of survival.

A journey that pinpoints how everything boils down to our decisions, actions and consequences.

“How quickly a life is changed. How quickly freedom is lost.”

A legal thriller cum murder mystery, the book follows the life of upcoming lawyer Rachel North, who is quite literally married to the defence and interned with the DA. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

It is this triumvirate that keeps us on our toes, forever questioning each and every step they take. It is here that the book just shines and shines, the legal and logical banter between the characters stimulates you to another level while also giving you a look at the state of our justice system.

“Guilt is a complicated thing”

A multi-tiered book that on one level is a murder mystery that keeps you questioning the definition of truth and on the other is a complex story of love and betrayal in all facets of our lives.

This book really gripped me and had me wanting more. I would definitely love to read a sequel to this and think this would make such a lovely movie.

Happy Reading☺
