Summary
Lila Dalton has no memory of how she got to this courtroom. The man in the docks is accused of mass murder, and she’s his barrister – but she can’t remember anything about the case. She can’t remember anything at all.
Lila is stranded on an island hundreds of miles from the UK, where the most serious crimes go to trial. The next plane out doesn’t leave for days.
And she’s being watched. Someone keeps breaking into her hotel room to leave cryptic notes, threatening her with deadly consequences if she doesn’t get her client off...
Can Lila Dalton win her case and solve the mystery of her own identity?

Ridiculous story
I went with this because of the rave reviews but omg it was ridiculous. It went around in circles & very unsatisfying end. Some clever ideas but maybe save them for 10 or more novels- felt like the author threw the kitchen sink at this one.

Not good ending
Because of the ending feel I wasted my time, I expected more, not much of a twist...meh!

Wish I hadn’t listened
The story was so far fetched I wish I had switched off half way through. Still not certain what the strut was.

Such a fascinating story
Excellent story, I was hooked, twists and turns and such a creative story, not a concept I've come a cross before - very clever indeed

Twists, turns, and revelations
This purposefully confusing beginning pays off. As the reader, we, along with Lila Dalton, know only what she knows. Only what the author wants us to know and when we should know it. A barrister with amnesia is facing a jury of twelve strangers. A puzzle with missing pieces that take Lila Dalton to some dark and dangerous places. Twists, turns, and revelations that make a fellow author jealous. I was totally hooked.
Just when you think the story is tying up nicely…💥BANG💥…another jaw dropping twist.
This debut novel is an absolute belter. I can only hope that we get more from L. J. Shepherd.

Gripping
This is a fascinating read, completely madcap in places. Plenty of twists and turns, you never know where it is going next. Loved it, kept me guessing right to the end!

Urghhhhh
Long, drawn out. I drudged my way through this hoping there would be some excitement. There was not! The end gave a good idea but the story leading up to the revaluation could have been so much better.
