Well! Rarely have I encountered such an unpleasant "heroine". Completely unlikeable and unempathetic.......more

Goodreads review by Allie on May 20, 2021

I enjoyed The Verdict so much! The first part of the book was my favourite, with the main character Natalie, a civil servant, called up for jury service. The author precisely and hilariously captured the forced putting-together of strangers for the jury. I just LOVED the dark humour in Natalie's vo......more

Goodreads review by Julie on May 09, 2022

This is a good read but one where you need to suspend belief in some places. Natalie is called up for jury service and it’s a case where a man is being accused of rape. As there’s not enough evidence to find him guilty he is not charged. The next bit is the bizarre part where Natalie goes out of her......more

3 very disappointing stars. I don't have time to write a full review at the moment but will very soon. UPDATE: 2/4/22 THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN RE-TITLED AS ' LIE TO ME'. I just wanted to let other people know in case they make the same mistake I did and buy this twice! I barely remember reading it but......more

Quotes

Gripping, unpredictable and immensely satisfying

A dark, original and twisted story of revenge that is beautifully written and brilliantly executed. CJ Cooper does not put a foot wrong.

Incredibly well-written, deliciously sinister and full of dark humour

A dark, twisting story with a fascinating, compelling lead

Pacy twistability Peterborough Telegraph

An utterly addictive, OMG read! The main character was completely unexpected and absolute genius! Natalie will stay with me for a long time.

A sharp and sweetly twisted protagonist I couldn't help but cheer on

I loved this book; it got me hooked right from the first page. Natalie's voice is compelling, she is such a good protagonist. Seeing the world from her viewpoint was captivating, especially when all the twists and turns began. I found myself gripped, turning the pages, not knowing what was to come next. It's the type of book that keeps you up at night, that you don't want to put down, and I raced to get to the end to see how it would all turn out

Clever, gripping and gutsy with an unreliable narrator who I trusted and doubted in equal measures, knowing anything could and would happen
