I Suspect...

The Inheritance- by Simon Tolkien

This was another history-mystery book, with the addition of courtroom drama. I have to say, I liked the book, it was faced paced, and well written. I learned about how the English Court system worked in the 1950s during death penalty cases. I actually find that very interesting. I found out what a “barrister” was. It's “English” for lawyer! I was actually quite curious what a “barrister” was when reading the authors bio before starting to read the book, because that was his former profession. Though the history-mystery storyline is starting to get a “unoriginal,” to me...or maybe that I have just ended up reading a bunch of them over the past couple of months and I'm looking for something that stands out, the courtroom aspect added something extra. The story itself was a fun, fast read and kept reminding me of playing Parker Brother's “Clue.” There was a body in a room of a manor, and the more you read, the more clues you figured out to eliminate people who were in the home that night. I just kept picturing a big giant game of “Clue,” and it turns out “I suspected” right. I guess it was like “History-Mystery Clue” for those interested in also the Criminal Justice System.
