Review of Penitence

This was an amazing book written by a debut author! The storyline is thought provoking and intense. I was engaged in this suspenseful read from start to finish. A family’s life is torn apart by a shocking murder. Angie and David need to hire a lawyer for their daughter and this is complicated because the big time criminal defence lawyer they hire is Angie’s old boyfriend. As all of Angie and Julian’s history is revealed it is intriguing to see how it affects the current situation. I don’t want to give away more plot lines to take away from the story so I won’t say more than this. The book is heartbreaking and poignant and it is beautifully written. Be sure to pick this one up.
