I love novels with strong female protagonists, and this thriller of a book is right up my alley. The errors will be a bit of a challenge, but it sounds like the book will be worth it. Thanks for your compelling review.

I love reading novels that make you question your own morals and what you would do in the protagonist's position. There's a lot going on in this one it seems. Seeing as though you enjoyed this so much, I think I'll add this to my list. Thanks for the recommendation!

Won't be picking this up since I'm generally not a fan of legal thrillers but this sounds both exciting and plot twisty. It would be a pleasure to read if I was into this genre.

Justice can be such a complicated thing and, indeed, as in the quote you use, doing the right thing is often the hard path. I like that the main character seems like a strong woman, and I wonder how her relationships with all the characters you mention will play out.
Seems like a great read! Thank you for a compelling review!

The quote “Why does the right thing have to financially suck?” by Jo, has made me think about my past decisions and the decisions that I'm about to make later. Simple question but thought provoking. Thank you for your compelling review of this intriguing legal thriller.

I did not only enjoy reading this review, I equally learned something new from your explanation of the phrase "Blanket Immunity". As I read along, I wondered how many more cases Jo would have handled throughout the book and how they all turned out for her and her clients. I sense this book calling my attention to read it. Thanks for this sterling review.

There's only one way to find that out, but Jo certainly is a worthy character! I appreciate your feedback!
