**THE GRIPPING SECOND NOVEL FROM ROB RINDER AND FOLLOW-UP TO NO. 1 BESTSELLER THE TRIAL**


When the UK's favourite breakfast TV presenter dies live on air in front of millions of viewers, the nation is left devastated.

More devastated still when it becomes clear that her death was not an accident.

The evidence points to one culprit: celebrity chef Sebastian Brooks. But junior barrister Adam Green is about to discover that the case is not as open-and-shut as it first seemed.

And although her angelic persona would suggest otherwise, she was not short of enemies in the glittery TV world . . .

Can Adam uncover the truth?

'Strong storytelling with a murder mystery at its heart makes it one to treasure' Daily Mail

'A pacy and gripping read' The Sun

'An exciting start to what promises to be an excellent series, with an appealing central character' The Guardian

Big let down from the first I preordered this because I really enjoyed first. Give this a miss

The first book in the series was a surprising listen and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so I preordered this. However, I found this second instalment to completely lack the same charm. The plot and main case was exceedingly dully, lacking any interesting ‘who dunnit’ aspects. A real shame. Also the recurrent scenes with the mum are infuriating. I like the narrator but just cut all those parts out. Just cringe. Sorry to be so honest.

Superb with lots of twists and possible avenues

Rob Rinder's second book develops the characters from The trial, his first book. I know several people are saying it's similar to the first in structure, but what do people think, it's following barristers in chambers and their work!

The story line quickly develops and almost immediately has you thinking who committed the murder. However, you will change your mind numerous times!! In addition, it brings a whole new slant to 'court room' drama books which makes these addictive.

My only criticism is I can't see a third book on the horizon unless I haven't looked hard enough. If there isn't, Please Rob get writing they are great stories to while a way a day with

Preferred previous book

Quite fun if a bit convoluted. I am not a fan of this narrator as he just doesn’t pronounce things properly. Strange choice. Rinder writes well but this book feels rushed.

Great story

The characters develop but the ending was slightly abrupt. Is there another instalment coming soon?

Seamless continuation from The Trial

Adam is as hapless as ever, his mother continues to be a complete dose and good triumphs over evil.
Enjoyed The Trial, it was a light listen after some more intense plot lines.
Wanted something unchallenging for my hols, I got it! Think I’ve reached the end of the road with this particular series.
