“The crackling story toggles effortlessly from past to present as the depth of the characters’ betrayals and manipulations comes out in open court. This serpentine courtroom drama will captivate readers.”
Publishers Weekly
A Reese’s Book Club Pick
A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB SELECTION
“You’re going to lose your mind over this one…it is so, so, so good. I couldn’t put it down.” —Reese Witherspoon
A young woman at the periphery of a high-stakes celebrity trial is the only one with the evidence that can make or break the case—but spilling her secret could ruin her life in this twisty psychological thriller.
The whole country has been riveted by the high-profile celebrity trial: Beloved TV star and national treasure Anna Finbow standing in court, accusing her daughter’s therapist Jean Guest of brainwashing her daughter, Mary, for her own financial gain. Jean insists Mary’s traumatic memories arise from her upbringing and her time studying at a prestigious art school in Rome—wounds only Jean’s therapy can heal. But as the trial unfolds, it’s Augusta “Gus” Bird, Anna’s former employee—a seemingly insignificant bystander, a nobody—who holds the key to unraveling the tangled web of family secrets, lies, and deceit.
What really happened to Mary in Rome? And, if her memories can’t be trusted, how will anyone ever uncover the truth behind her estrangement? Twisty and propulsive, In Her Defense is a compulsively readable psychological suspense debut for fans of Lucy Foley and Laura Dave.
