The Protest

All rise. Have you, the jury reached a verdict?"

Yes indeed, I have reached a verdict. This book is thoroughly engrossing, and I hereby recommend that each and every one of you to go out and buy/borrow a copy as soon as it is released. (UK release is June 19th.)

I expect you want to know why I think you should buy/borrow it. Well, I'll tell you. Because it's oh so good. There's quite a lot going on in it. An art retrospective at the Royal Academy, a "Stop the War" protest at said retrospective, which culminates in a murder.

Needless to say, our young hero Adam Green, finds himself on the defense team for what proves to be a high profile trial. ⚖

As with previous books in the series, Adam is working more than one trial. Bobby enlists his help in the defense of a young soldier at a court martial. This is a new experience for Adam. ⚖

The Protest has a more serious tone than The Suspect, although Adam's mum does provide some light relief. All the usual characters are present at Stag Court, with Jonathan as obnoxious as ever. ⚖

The Protest ended on something of a cliffhanger. Setting things up for book 4 perhaps? We'll just have to wait and see. ⚖

So there you have it. The Protest is a well paced, intriguing, engrossing read. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself on June 19th. ⚖
