Title: The Divorce Lawyer
Author: Ellie Monago
Publisher: Bookouture
Publication Date: May, 2024
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 356
My Rating: ★★★☆☆
Esther Khan, divorce lawyer extraordinaire. Fighting for the rights of females against their male counterpart bullies. Until she’s blackmailed into representing Peter Tramboni, that is. The exact opposite of her usual client. Peter is murdered soon after Esther helps him win his case, and Esther becomes a suspect. Can Esther work out who the killer is, before any harm comes to her?
This book took me a while to read. Esther is unlikeable, comes across as paranoid and borderline neurotic, with the personality of a slug.
The book was described as being “packed with jaw-dropping twists”. Where were the twists? The middle part seemed to drone on for ages, it was predictable and easily to work out who the killer was.
Sorry, but this didn’t live up to expectations for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy.
