Not so much a front row seat in a murder trial as a journey inside the minds of the necessarily unreliable defendants, judge and counsel, The Cut Throat Trial is both scathing examination of the criminal justice system and an astute, empathetic, and satisfyingly twisty read. . . I’ll be thinking about this one for quite some time.Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal and Reputation
If you want to know how the law takes its course with people’s lives, you won’t get a more accurate picture than this. It’s truly fascinating to see it turned into a page-turning story.Wendy Joseph, author of Unlawful Killings
