Part legal suspense, part romance, this audiobook is a stellar debut. Narrator Tavia Gilbert introduces listeners to Liana Cohen, a New York City public defender who is struggling to find meaning and balance. Gilbert transitions seamlessly between the personal and professional challenges Liana faces–how to justify her lack of belief in her clients’ innocence, whether to move forward in her romantic relationship, how to reconcile her religious faith with what she wants out of life. Gilbert’s skills are particularly keen when Danny Shea, a dangerously charming client, is assigned to Liana and she breaks all of her own rules in her quest to discover whether he is really innocent. Introspective, intelligent, and engaging, this audiobook features compelling characters and questions that listeners will find themselves invested in.—AudioFile Magazine
