The one decision you can’t take back
Prosecutor, Justine Boucher has only asked for the death penalty once, in a brutal murder case.
In doing so, she put her own life on the line. Because, if the convicted are later found innocent, the lawyer who requested the execution will be sentenced to death.
Justine had no doubt that the man she sent to the chair was guilty.
Until now.
Presented with evidence that could prove his innocence, Justine must find out the truth before anyone else does.
Her life depends on it.

Not what I was expecting!

I REALLY like it when books leave me with something to contemplate afterwards, and this DID. So much so, in fact, that I'm betting I listen to it again after a little time to digest my first time.
SO glad I looked after Vox to see what else she wrote and found this. She has a major talent for questioning culture by tweaking the settings in a depiction of it.
Compelling story that apys dividends

It seemed less dystopian than her previous works and, for this story I am very glad that it wasn't because I think that gives it a level of plausibility in a readers mind.
I am glad that there were two narrators, it makes the story easier to follow when you have alternating narrators throughout the book, for there to be distinctly diffrent voices
Another great one from Christina Dalcher
