Very suspensful -- with a surprise twist near the end. Keeps you reading!
A 17 year old is accused of killing a policeman and his attorney suspects he may have been involved in an undercover operation to entrap dirty cops. Was he the target or the bait and what does the prsecution really have against him?
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.

Very good reading. Lots of suspense, drama with a little romance and humor added.
This was the story of a female attorney who chooses to defend a teenager accused of killing a cop. Then she discovers this may be her son and nothing will stop her from getting him off!
Haven't read yet - will hurry and try to finish it before someone requests it!
