Fractured Verdict by L.T. Ryan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
First, I have a couple questions -
How big is the building where Alex works? One paragraph says she sees the first light of dawn coming through the blinds. Then she walks outside and blinks in the harsh sunlight. Apparently the sun rises in mere seconds in Texas. Or the office building is the size of a small town.
What year is it? Alex is given the case and told it starts "in two weeks on July 22nd." Later she's looking at photos related to the case and one is dated July 20, 2024 and she notes that's the day before the victim was found. So...the victim was found on July 21st, and the trial starts on the 22nd, which is two weeks away? But, no matter, because a bit further along and we're told that the victim's husband called 9-1-1 on May 19th and reported he found his wife's body. ?????
It's a really sad thing when the author doesn't know the date the murder took place.
This book is bad. I've only made it 20% through and I had to force myself to get that far. I can't believe L.T. Ryan wrote any of this, and it looks like this is a first book for his co-author. Well, it's painfully obvious she's never written a book before. It reads like it was written by a kid.
As for Alex Hayes, I can't stand her. Her mouth, her attitude, her behavior, there's nothing about her that puts me in her corner. She's whiny one minute, bitchy the next, and she seems to hate being a lawyer even though it's what she always wanted to do. What little I've seen of her so far makes me absolutely certain I don't want to know any more.
