The Holdout by Graham Moore

The Holdout: A Novel by [Moore, Graham]   Maya, a young idealist, became a member of the jury.  A man has been accused of killing a young girl.  In spite of salacious circumstantial evidence, no body was ever found.  The jury, with Maya at the head, chose not to convict.  What if they got it wrong?

It seems that none of the jurors have been able to return to "real life".  Now 10 years after the events of the trial, it appears new evidence has come to light.   I loved Graham Moore's The Last Days of Night so I was really excited about this book.  It did not disappoint.

So many twists and turns that you never see coming. I enjoyed it from start to finish.  If you like court room thrillers and murder mysteries, this one is for you.  Definitely check it out!  Five stars.
