I had been wanting to read a David Ellis book for awhile now. I've always heard good things about his books, so I picked up the book "Jury of One".

The premise of the novel is about a lawyer named Shelly Trotter, who is asked to defend a young 16 year old boy who has been accused of murdering a police officer. She previously helped this young man Alex in a previous case and is shocked to find he's in trouble again.

There is so much going on in this book. So much is revealed, but its done at a pace that isn't overwhelming. David Ellis definitely knows how to keep you turning the pages as this one was hard to put down.

I'm also afraid that if I write anymore, that I may reveal a secret or two, so I will end this review here.

If you enjoy legal thrillers, then I can definitely recommend you read this book.
