Sleeping Partner (Ulverscroft Large Print)

Summary: A courtroom drama with a twist
Review: This book is written from a point of view of Clarissa - a woman standing trila for murdering her ex-lover. The problem is ... she can't remember it. Having amnesia after a car-wreck (which happened a cople of hours after the estimated time of the murder), she is herself questioning her own guilt.
Allthough amnesia as a plot device was horribly overused in books, movies and TV, it works good here. The court scenes are solid and sometimes brilliant.
The characters of the novel are lifelike, and the relationships between Clarissa, her lawyers and her inmates could keep your interest even without the mystery part of the novel.
This may be not as strong as "Presumed Innocent", but definetly one of the strongest debute legal thrillers since then.
Fans of Scott Turow should check out this book.
