**THE GRIPPING SECOND NOVEL FROM ROB RINDER AND FOLLOW-UP TO NO. 1 BESTSELLER THE TRIAL**

When the UK's favourite breakfast TV presenter dies live on air in front of millions of viewers, the nation is left devastated.

More devastated still when it becomes clear that her death was not an accident.

The evidence points to one culprit: celebrity chef Sebastian Brooks. But junior barrister Adam Green is about to discover that the case is not as open-and-shut as it first seemed.

And although her angelic persona would suggest otherwise, she was not short of enemies in the glittery TV world . . .

Can Adam uncover the truth?

About the Author

Rob Rinder is a practising criminal barrister, a broadcaster and Sunday Times best-selling author. Called to the bar in 2001, Rob went on to specialise in cases involving international fraud, money laundering and other forms of financial crime, while working in media to make law more accessible. He started his broadcast career with Judge Rinder for ITV before going on to host his own BBC 5Live series Raising the Bar. Featuring in Who Do You Think You Are?, Rob’s story resulted in creating the documentary My Family, the Holocaust and Me.

A regular host on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Rob co-hosts BBC Two’s Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby and has recently filmed a new travel show, The Grand Tour, which will see Rob and his co-host Rylan retrace the footsteps of cultural greats around Italy. Shedding light on the unsolved mystery of what happened to the Princes in the Tower during Richard III’s reign for a Channel 4 documentary in 2023, Rob’s filmed a new show for the channel exploring the history of prisons which will come to our screens later this year.

In 2020, Rob was awarded an MBE for his services to Holocaust education and an honorary doctorate for his legal work.

The Trial was Rob's number one bestselling debut novel and The Suspect is the much anticipated follow-up. Both novels are inspired by Rob's own experiences as a barrister.

Well he has done it again. I enjoyed the first book and had high hopes for the second and Rob has not disappointed. I really enjoy the legal perspective and what goes on in chambers and how Adam just wants to his best for the person he is defending. These books are intelligently written and are a ray of light in a time where cozy crime books seems to take over whether they have any substance or not.
Looking forward to next. Rob is a rare talent and as a author he is outstanding.

Clever and enjoyable, with insights into how the machinery of law functions. Rob Rinder writes well, and this book revisits and develops characters and relationships from his first novel "The Trial". His style of writing is energetic, and contains little descriptive gems such as "a hint of daytime telly in a Proust novel". However, he is let down by the convoluted plots that are the basis of the murders at the heart of his books. I look forward to his next novel - perhaps grounded in non celebrity world?

Again I enjoyed this book and the familiar characters appearing from the first book. I think the running theme is going to be the last minute piece of evidence solving the crime just in time , I was actually waiting for it near the end ! Hope Rob continues to write books featuring these characters, looking forward to the next one .

3.0 out of 5 stars A good story but disappointed the structure was almost identical to The Trial

Make no mistake, I still found this book engaging and interesting, and Rinder writes really well. I found it hard to put down, as I enjoyed meeting the cast of characters again, and I wanted to keep finding out what happened next in this fast moving tale.

By the time I was just under half way through the book, it was becoming obvious that the structure of the story was more or less the same as The Trial, although there were different storylines woven through it. Whilst I enjoyed this book, I'll be more wary of purchasing any future books in case they are another reworking of this - sorry Rob.

I sat in the sun and devoured this in a day. Well written, excellent pace of story with a few twists. I can read these much faster than they can be written. I hope Adam Green has a long and prosperous career.
