What would you do if someone murdered your child, but the justice system let you down?

Despite the best efforts of the Crown Prosecution barrister, Sarah Newby, it seems possible that the boyfriend, David Kidd, may be acquitted. Should her family tolerate this?

The Queen's Justice

Continuing shortly after the end of the first book in the series, this story can nonetheless be enjoyed on its own although obviously it does contain spoilers for the first book. Not all of Sarah Newby's traits are admirable but she tries very, very hard and is largely successful in winning her cases and upholding her own moral code, striving for justice. As before, the cases revolve around the burden of proof required to convict and the reliance of the court on the forensic and other evidence developed by the police investigation. Missing details, missing minutes, missing clues, missing facts can warp the outcome pushing an innocent person into prison or freeing a guilty one. Again author Tim Vicary has come up with a fascinating and complex story which will tear at your heartstrings.

I had the pleasure of hearing the well-narrated AUDIO version which kept me enthralled throughout.

Can't Wait for #3

Sarah Newby #2 was not only well-written but the plot, with it's twists and turns, was both clever and entertaining. Tim Vicary is fast becoming one of my favorite authors and I will be reading more of his books very soon.
