The Sentence by Christina Dalcher [Audiobook]


🎙🎙🎙 Narrated by Laurel Lefkow and Greg Lockett 🎙🎙🎙

Description from Goodreads:

"A law intended to end capital punishment.

Prosecutors who seek the death penalty put their lives on the line if the guilty are later found innocent.

A lawyer convinced beyond reasonable doubt.

Justine Boucher is presented with overwhelming evidence in a brutal murder case. Her request for execution is granted.

But what if she’s wrong?"

🎧📚🎧📚🎧📚🎧

This is a riveting and thought-provoking legal thriller set in a future America where the sentence of a death penalty for the most heinous crimes comes with a catch ... if the person is subsequently found to be innocent, the prosecutor gets the death sentence as well!!!

Justine is a prosecutor who was instrumental in creating the new law but following the murder of her husband and whilst in the throes of grief, she takes on the case of Jake Milford, a man accused of murdering a little boy.  The evidence is strong and he gets the death penalty.  Years later, new evidence comes to the fore and Justine has to decide whether she faces the consequences or runs but all is not as it seems.

Told from the perspective of Justine and from Jake's perspective whilst on death row, this is a riveting book with some great twists and tense moments that I thoroughly enjoyed.  The narrators were excellent and really brought the characters to life.

Highly recommended to those of you who enjoy a good legal thriller and thank you to the author, HarperCollins UK Audio, HQ and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Sentence.
