THE VERDICT

A brilliant courtroom thriller for fans of Gillian MacAllister, APPLE TREE YARD and ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL

A cheating wife. An estranged mother. But is she guilty of murder?

Please raise your right hand.

An affair at work has cost Julia Winter her job and her marriage. There's no denying she has let her family down.

Please remain standing.

When a body is discovered on the North Downs, it hits local headlines. But for Julia, the news is doubly shocking because the body was buried just opposite the house she lived in over twenty years ago. And it is one of her former housemates.

Please resume your seat.

Up on the stand, Julia's not the only person to have secrets that are unearthed during the trial. But the evidence against her is overwhelming.

And yet one question remains: is she the murderer, or the victim?

Jurors, you may be excused.
