Wow! This book kept me guessing till the very end. I was on page 265 when the verdict came in and I still had no idea who was guilty. 🙂 The writing and plot were that good!
At the young age of 18, Leila Syed becomes the sole care giver of her younger sister, 11-year-old Yasmin, when their parents die. As the years pass, we find Leila very protective of Yasmin and will go to great lengths to shield her from harm…even murder. A psychological thriller with four main characters and a determined detective, Kia Abdullah has given the reader a courtroom drama full of suspense and intrigue.
