About this listen
She was found hanging in a dingy London bedsit with a blood orange in her mouth. Diane Heybridge, a young woman without a past or much of a future, has captured in death the compassion denied her in life.
For the prosecution, this seeming suicide is nothing more than a bungled killing and a disgusted public looks to Court 2 of the Old Bailey for justice. Her callous, jilted partner Brent Stainsby stands accused of her murder and he's turned to the maverick legal team William Benson and Tess de Vere to defend him.
However, as the trial unfolds it soon becomes clear that there is far more to Diane Heybridge than meets the eye. She wasn't the weak and downtrodden victim now being presented to the jury. She was capable of a sophisticated form of vengeance. By the same token, Brent Stainsby isn't who he seems to be either. He's hiding a motive for murder unknown to the police and may well be playing a deadly game of poker with the judicial process. What began as a simple trial rapidly turns into a complex search for the truth beyond the confines of the courtroom....

Totally engrossing
Gosh, this series is good! It has everything: a twisty plot, fascinating characters, crisp and elegant writing and the perfect narrator. After finishing the first book on a Friday, I devoured this one over the weekend. I just sat and listened for hours at a time rather than requiring a couple of weeks of housework or gardening sessions to get to the end, as is my usual audiobook experience. Benson is a compelling protagonist and the tantalising details of his past and and his struggles in the present only add to the drama of the courtroom scenes. I want to dive into Book 3 but I also want to savour it…
