Repeat After Me - by Fiona Barton (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A tense and twisty courtroom thriller in which two women who joined forces to catch a predator are now facing off in a fight for their lives.

Shy, cautious Josie is a middle-aged courtroom usher who has never recovered emotionally from the accident that destroyed her family. Natalie is a beautiful young actress, cancelled after the man she accuses of sexual assault is found not guilty. On the surface, they have nothing in common-- except a burning sense of justice denied. Now, with Josie on trial in her own courtroom, we learn about the relationship they forged--and how it escalated into delusion and death...

Fast-paced, suspenseful and heartbreaking, Repeat After Me has the destabilizing momentum of a runaway train...and the crash is coming.
