Twenty-One Days by Anne Perry

5.0

The first in a new series one of the Pitt children gets their own spin off. I had hoped it would be Jemima after she starred in her own Christmas story with her future husband, but it's brother Daniel who takes centre stage. A newly hired lawyer young Daniel is tasked with defending hateful man named Russell Graves. He is charged with murdering his wife Ebony and leaving her horribly disfigured. After he is found guilty and sentenced to die Daniel and lead counsel Kitteridge have twenty one days to appeal. The following investigation uncovers a history of betrayal, abuse, cover ups and a shocking book that just might expose the secrets of people Daniel is closest too. All culminating in a tense courtroom drama where truths are revealed. A promising start to a new series, I adored Miriam and look forward to seeing more of her. Daniel is a bit naive and still has a lot of growing to do. But as this could be the start of a long series he'll grow and form as a more mature character. But it is a promising start and I look forward to seeing more from Daniel.
