Full Disclosure: A Novel | Beverley McLachlin
6 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
From the former Chief Justice of Canada comes a riveting thriller starring Jilly Truitt, a rising, young defense attorney faced with a case that hits close to home. A searing look at what justice means in the courts and on the streets, Full Disclosure is perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs, Louise Penny, and Lisa Scottoline. When everyone has something to hide, the truth is the only defense. There’s nothing Jilly Truitt likes more than winning a case, especially against her former mentor, prosecutor Cy Kenge. Jilly has baggage, the residue of a dark time in a series of foster homes, but that’s in the past. Now she’s building her own criminal defense firm and making a name for herself as a tough-as-nails lawyer willing to take risks in the courtroom. When the affluent and enigmatic Vincent Trussardi is accused of his wife Laura’s murder, Jilly agrees to defend him, despite predictions that the case is a sure loser and warnings from those close to her to stay away from the Trussardi family. Determined to prove everyone wrong, Jilly investigates Laura’s death, hoping to discover a shred of evidence that might give the jury a reasonable doubt. Instead, she is confronted by damning evidence and uncooperative witnesses at every turn. Someone isn’t telling the truth, but who? With her reputation and Vincent’s life on the line, Jilly tries to unravel the web of secrets surrounding Laura’s murder. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a startling revelation that will change not only the case, but her life forever. From the gritty streets of Vancouver to the fateful halls of justice, Full Disclosure is a razor-sharp thriller that pulses with authenticity and intrigue.

I like the idea that this book exists more than the execution. You will smile though, at some meta self referential winks that Her Worship adds in. This was my summer reading book last summer. Good porch company.

This was such a great read - very compelling and believable (and I would know, since this is all about the kind of work I do!). The ending was almost a little unbelievable, but on the other hand, sometimes the unbelievable happens. Would definitely recommend to anyone. *EDITED* I just wanted to make a note for myself that this was my first book of 2019. Going to try and keep count this year.

Does anything beat reading in the tub? Yes - eating these chocolates while doing so.

Started this tonight (wild NYE party over here 😜) - this passage made me laugh. And for anyone who may not know, the author is the former Chief Justice of Canada (and the first female Chief Justice!)

I love that the former Chief Justice turned to fiction after she retired. This was good, I‘d like to see more from her. She was obviously strongest when she was writing the legal aspects of the book but she has talents outside of the law. Also, great plane reading.

Melissa_J I‘m happy to see a positive review. I bought a couple a few months back when Kobo had it as a daily deal 😊 6y
janeycanuck @Melissa_J I missed the Kobo deal but got it from the library. I wouldn‘t have wanted to pay full price but definitely good as a deal. I hope she turns it into a series. 6y
