:

:
I loved the way author dissected the very fibre of silk, the rustic law system, internal politics and functioning of the corridors of the Old Bailey. He deftly projected the social norms that still rules the masses, refuses to respect an individual’s choice different from the mainstream.The rural mining life which leads to a perpetual cycle of drudgery and poverty is boldly projected in the plot.
The non-linear storyline with engaging narration, detailed characters and vivid descriptions breathed life into the story. The racy plot-line kept me at the edge of seat.The breathtaking climax will surely leave the readers deep in thoughts.
The first book in a legal series, it’s an amazing start which increases the expectations for all the upcoming thrillers.I will strongly recommend this book to every reader.
Thank you @bloomsburyindia for the uncorrected proof copy.
