This is a crime/mystery book by the former Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court. It has received much praise.
I read the book but have to say I wasn't much taken by it. It was written in first person narrative which I find too one-sided and uncreative. It is about a defense lawyer from a small law firm who takes on a case people warn her against. A rich man is accused of murdering his wife in their home with what appears to be his own gun.
The book was very he said this they did that, etc. etc. It does have a surprise ending when despite the odds the lawyer is able to clear the client (who ends up being her father).
That is about all I will say about it. It was an okay read, a quick read, but not memorable.
